In short, the WEN DF402iX is a compact and lightweight portable inverter generator adequately designed for:

• RV travellers looking for even more independence
• People occasionally participating in sporting competitions, open-air performances and outdoor festivals
• DIYers who wish to improve their efficiency with tools
• Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
• Camping and tailgating hobbyists looking for a portable power source

The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the extra features it benefits from.

Power & Run Time

With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile WEN DF402iX provides an output of 120V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 3,500W along with a peak wattage of 4,000W. While propane-powered, it provides 3,200 rated watts and 3,600 starting watts. Moreover, since it is parallel capable (GNA50i parallel kit (opens in a new tab) not included), its power may be increased if linked to a second compatible unit.

Its starting mechanism relies on a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism.

In terms of run time, the DF402iX, boasting a 1.85 gallon fuel tank, can run for around 7 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 0.26 gallons per hour). Additionally, it provides around 9.5 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.49 GPH) of operation with propane.

The <1.2% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the DF402iX ensures a clean sine wave output, providing a secure power source for your sensitive electronics through its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel provides the upcoming 3 AC outlets:

Furthermore, it showcases 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (USB-A) with which you may charge electronics, for example mobile phones or tablets, conveniently.

With its TT-30R receptacle (TT as in 'Travel Trailer'), this WEN generator is RV Ready.

Portability

Measuring L19.8 x W13.8 x H18.9 in, the classic open frame construction of the WEN DF402iX provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. The generator is designed for ideal use outdoors and in rough environments.

The DF402iX can be taken anywhere with you, thanks to its weight of 66.1 lbs. Additionally, the open frame design of the generator ensures easy grabbing and shifting for relocation.

Features

The DF402iX's control panel

The light indicators show you if the generator is overloaded, the oil level is too low and the generator is ready.

Thanks to its built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator allows you to quickly, conveniently, and easily check the gas level at a glance.

From a security standpoint, the product offers an overload protection (circuit breaker), an automatic low oil shut-off and a low fuel automatic shutdown, allowing you to use it with a peace of mind.

The unit also benefits from WEN's CO Watchdog carbon monoxide detection. This system measures the accumulation of poisonous CO gas while the generator is running. If the level of CO gas gets too high, the CO Watchdog system will automatically shut down the generator.

While the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), helpful for starting the device promptly, come with the WEN DF402iX, the following accessories are also included: funnel, propane hose, 2 altitude kits and tool kit. An official storage cover is also available, as a separate purchase.
