Our take on the WEN DF8000X 8000-Watt 120V/240V Dual Fuel Portable Generator

The WEN DF8000X is a dual-fuel portable generator that runs on gasoline or propane. Gasoline gives 8,000 surge and 6,500 rated watts; propane gives 7,200 surge and 5,850 rated watts. Electric start fires the 340cc engine from a switch, and a CO shutdown sensor cuts the unit if carbon monoxide builds up. A 6.7-gallon tank runs about 10.5 hours at half load on gasoline. It suits homeowners backing up essentials during outages and job sites needing 240V power. Against rivals in its class it stands out on dual fuel and CO protection at the entry end of the market, while comparable Generac and Champion units generally add remote start or longer run times.

About the WEN DF8000X 8000-Watt 120V/240V Dual Fuel Portable Generator

The WEN DF8000X is a dual fuel portable generator that runs on gasoline or propane. On gasoline it produces 8000 surge watts and 6500 rated watts. On propane it produces 7200 surge watts and 5850 rated watts.

A 340cc engine starts with the press of a switch, and a recoil starter is included as a backup. The WEN Watchdog CO Shutdown Sensor automatically turns the generator off if it detects dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. An onboard data meter digitally displays voltage, frequency, total runtime, and session runtime.

The generator can power lights, a TV, a refrigerator, a sump pump, heating, air conditioning, microwaves, and power tools. A wheel and handle kit makes it easier to move. The 6.7-gallon gas tank provides up to 10.5 hours of run time at half load.

Questions and answers

How many watts does it put out on propane?
Propane gives 7,200 surge watts and 5,850 rated watts, lower than the 8,000 surge and 6,500 rated watts on gasoline.
Can it power a house through a transfer switch?
Yes. The 120V/240V 30-amp NEMA L14-30R twist-lock outlet is made for a transfer-switch connection, though a licensed electrician should install the switch.
How long does it run on a tank?
About 10.5 hours at half load on gasoline from the 6.7-gallon tank. Heavier loads shorten that.
Does it have an RV outlet?
Yes, there is a 120V 30-amp TT-30R outlet for RV hookups, plus four 20-amp household outlets and a 12V DC receptacle.
What is the CO shutdown sensor?
The Watchdog sensor shuts the generator off automatically if carbon monoxide around it reaches dangerous levels.
Is it safe to run indoors?
No. It is a gasoline or propane generator and must run outdoors, away from windows and doors, even with the CO sensor.
