Introduction
Welcome to "Doing Things Dan's Way," where we take an in-depth look at the Wen 2350 watt generator. In this series, we have already covered the unboxing and the first oil change. In this article, we will discuss the process of starting the generator, checking the magnetic dipstick, running it for a few hours, and changing the oil. We will also explore the fuel consumption and eco mode, as well as compare the noise level and efficiency with other generators. Finally, we will consider other generator options and conclude with our overall impressions.
Unboxing and First Oil Change
In the previous video, we unboxed the Wen 2350 watt generator and performed the first oil change. If you missed it, you can find the full playlist of all the videos in this series by clicking here. The initial setup involved adding the necessary oil to the generator. Now, we are ready to move on to the next steps.
Starting the Generator and Checking the Magnetic Dipstick
To start the generator, we need to add gas to it. In order to ensure safety, we will conduct this operation outside instead of in a closed garage. Once outside, we turn the generator on, pull the choke, and make sure the eco mode is off. We take note of the noise level, which seems acceptable for a generator of this size. After running it for a while, we examine the magnetic dipstick for any residue. Fortunately, we find only a minimal amount of black residue, which is nothing to be concerned about.
Running the Generator for a Few Hours
With the initial setup complete, we decide to run the generator for a few hours. During this time, we monitor the performance and keep an eye on the magnetic dipstick. After three to four hours of operation, we bring the generator back inside, pull out the dipstick, and inspect it again. Surprisingly, there is hardly any residue on it, indicating that the generator operates efficiently.
Checking the Oil and Impression after Running
Now, it's time to check the oil itself. We pour some oil into an automotive oil pan and observe its color. Although it has darkened a bit, it still allows light to pass through. This suggests that the oil is of good quality and has not deteriorated significantly. We proceed to drain the oil and fill the generator up with fresh synthetic oil. Once again, we inspect the dipstick and confirm that the oil level is appropriate.
Fuel Consumption and Eco Mode
During our testing, we also pay attention to the fuel consumption and the eco mode of the generator. We find that in eco mode, the generator takes a considerable amount of time to shut down. Therefore, we recommend taking it out of eco mode when intending to turn it off promptly. Additionally, we discuss the fuel efficiency and compare it to other generators in terms of energy consumption.
Changing the Oil and Applying Load
To ensure optimal performance, we perform regular oil changes on the Wen 2350 watt generator. We discuss the process of changing the oil and emphasize the importance of using high-quality synthetic oil. Furthermore, we test the generator's ability to handle different loads and analyze how it responds under varying levels of strain.
Noise Level and Efficiency Comparison
In this section, we delve into the noise level produced by the Wen 2350 watt generator at different power levels. We compare its noise output with other generators on the market to evaluate its overall noise performance. Additionally, we analyze the efficiency of the generator and assess how it measures up against competing models.
Considering Other Generator Options
While the Wen 2350 watt generator proves to be reliable and efficient, we understand that there are other options available in the market. In this section, we discuss the gold standard Honda generator and explore other alternatives, such as generators from Harbor Freight. We invite readers to share their thoughts and recommendations regarding other generators to consider for future reviews.
Conclusion
In conclusion, our experience with the Wen 2350 watt generator has been largely positive. Its ease of use, reasonable noise level, efficient performance, and minimal residue on the dipstick make it a reliable choice for various applications. We suggest comparing it with other generators based on individual requirements and considering factors such as noise level, efficiency, and overall performance. Your comments and questions are always welcome as we continue to explore and compare different generators in our series.
