it is compact and has all necessary for the work. also has outlet for travel trailer so it can be used in work or play, all in one small powerful package. Not as heavy as most I have seen and easy to move around. Good product.
I bought this for an emergency home backup power source. It being a smaller unit I understand the limitations and don't push it. It runs my refrigerator, chest freezer and a couple of electric heaters. Easy to start, not super loud and isn't too heavy to lug around although I wouldn't expect a smaller framed person to be able to move it without great difficulty. For me and my needs I find it is more than sufficient.
I purchased this as an emergency backup generator and already have found more uses for it! Being able to power my corded power tools is a huge bonus for me.
Bought this for use getting started building an off the grid property, so far has been a lifesaver. Runs and/or charges all my electric tools with ease, and keeps the heater running at night so I don't freeze. Once my off grid power supply is up this will make an excellent backup. Not bad at all on gas, seeing as how I never put a heavy load on it. It is a bit loud, recommend having it a little ways away and with the muffler facing away from you. I shopped around awhile before buying, and I feel like I got the best deal for the money here
I purchased the WGEN3600 to use for a project and it has been perfect for my needs. After delivery I unboxed, checked for shipping damage (none) so followed the simple instructions, installed the wheel kit and oil ( came with it) and then some fuel. Set the choke and she started on the first pull.
I had to move a project car to a storage unit (flood a couple years ago) so to finish the restoration I needed power at the storage unit. I used a small 1000 watt as best I could but it didn't cover all the power needs so I purchased this 3600 and now have all the power needed to run my craftsman 10 gal compressor, a fan, two 4ft florescent light fixtures and my lincoln weldpac 140 welder. Running my welder has been the best part of this purchase as it is needed for most car restoration projects.
It has been used every day (7 days so far) since purchase and has been running perfect for 5 to 7 hours straight each day. The fuel consumption seems to be on par with most all reviews I have read which is around 17 hours per tank with medium load. The sound/decibel level is pretty good considering the generator size, I expected it to be much louder than it actually is so that is a nice bonus.
The controls/features are simple and straight forward for ease of use. The size is about perfect as well and makes for a nice size unit. I am happy with my purchase and it has fit my needs exponentially and since it is large enough power wise I can use it for power outages when needed (Here in California, so will be plenty of them..uuhhgg).
Definitely a worthy investment for the price as far as I'm concerned so I would recommend this unit (WGEN3600) without question.
