Introduction

What's up, YouTube? It's been a while, but I'm back with some exciting new projects. Today, I'm starting a new series with an unboxing and review of a major project: the WEN 4800 Watt Portable Inverter Generator. Let's dive right in and see what this powerful machine has to offer!

Unboxing & Features

I picked up the WEN 4800 Watt Portable Inverter Generator from Amazon, and here are some key details from the unboxing:

Box Contents

• Manual: For proper operation and maintenance.
• Oil fill spout: To make oil changes easier.
• Screwdriver: A hybrid Philips and flathead tool.
• Oil: P W30 Oil for initial setup.
• Spark plug tool: For spark plug maintenance.

This generator is packaged with thick, padded foam blocks for protection. It's pretty lightweight and has durable wheels for easy mobility.

Design

The generator features:

• A pull start
• Fuel and engine controls (run, choke, engine off)
• A pull-out handle for easy transportation, locking securely in place
• Rubber feet for stability

Front Panel

The front panel includes:

• Eco mode switch
• Data center for monitoring performance
• Circuit breakers and reset buttons
• USB charging ports
• 120-volt AC outlets
• 30-amp plug port
• Parallel connectors for linking two generators

Setup

Before starting, make sure to:

1. Check the oil: Use 530, 1030, or 30-weight engine oil. I used Motorcraft 530 synthetic blend.
2. Add fuel: 1.9 gallons maximum with at least 87 octane and no more than 10% ethanol.
3. Connect devices properly to avoid exceeding the 4,000-watt rating.

Performance

It's time to test it out! After filling it with oil and fuel, I was ready to start it up. Here's how it performed:

Starting the Generator

1. Turn off Eco mode.
2. Switch to choke.
3. Pull the recoil start.

The generator started smoothly and ran quietly. Switching to Eco mode made it even quieter, perfect for various applications.

Shutdown

To turn off the generator:

1. Turn off all connected devices.
2. Switch to fuel off.
3. Wait for the engine to stop.
4. Switch to engine off.

Running the machine this way ensures that the carburetor is empty, preventing potential issues during storage.

Conclusion

The WEN 4800 Watt Portable Inverter Generator is a reliable and quiet powerhouse. The setup is straightforward, and the performance is impressive. Whether you need it for recreational use or emergency power, this generator is a fantastic choice. Stay tuned for more from Scratch Outdoors as we put this generator to the test in the field!
