The WEN DF8000X is a dual-fuel portable generator that runs on gasoline or propane, delivering 8000 starting watts and 6500 running watts on gas, or 7200 surge and 5850 rated watts on propane. It has electric start with recoil backup, a transfer-switch-ready L14-30R outlet, an RV-ready TT-30R outlet, and a CO shutdown sensor. Owners like the value and feature set for home backup and RV use, but some report noisy operation and fuel-system issues.

On propane it delivers 7200 surge watts and 5850 rated watts. It has a 340cc engine and can power items such as lights, a TV, a refrigerator, a sump pump, heating, air conditioning, microwaves and power tools.
Electric start provides quick ignition, with a backup recoil starter if needed. The 6.7-gallon gas tank provides up to 10.5 hours of run time at half load. A wheel and handle kit is included for transport. An onboard data meter digitally displays voltage, frequency, total runtime and session runtime.
The WEN Watchdog CO Shutdown Sensor automatically turns the generator off if dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected. The control panel has four standard 120V outlets, an RV-ready 30-amp outlet, a transfer-switch-ready 120V/240V twist lock receptacle and a 12V DC receptacle. The generator comes with a three-year limited warranty.
