- Is the WEN DF1200X good for whole-home backup?
- It can carry a lot: 9,500 running watts on gasoline and 9,000 on propane. That covers a well pump, furnace, refrigerator and lights, but not every appliance at once. A transfer switch is needed for safe hookup.
- How does propane compare with gasoline on this generator?
- Propane gives 11,000 surge and 9,000 running watts, below the 12,000 and 9,500 on gasoline. Propane also avoids carburetor gumming during long storage.
- Does it produce clean power for electronics?
- It is a conventional generator, not an inverter, so power is not as clean as inverter output. Computers and sensitive devices are better run through a surge protector or a UPS.
- What comes in the box?
- The generator, a wheel and handle kit, an LPG connection hose, a bottle of oil and the manual. A battery for the electric start is not included.
- How long does it run on a full tank?
- About 7.5 hours at half load on the 9-gallon tank. Expect much shorter run times when drawing near full output.
- Can it connect to a transfer switch?
- Yes. The L14-30R outlet is transfer-switch ready, and there is also a 50A L14-50R outlet for heavier hookups.
