WEN DF623X - 5000/6250W Dual Fuel Generator

In summary, the WEN DF623X is a portable generator especially useful for:

• RV travellers looking for even more independence
• People occasionally participating in sporting competitions, open-air performances and outdoor festivals
• Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
• Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials

In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device, along with its emission compliance information.

Power & Run Time

With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile WEN DF623X provides an output of 120/240V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 5,000W along with a peak wattage of 6,250W. While propane-powered, it provides 4,500 rated watts and 5,625 starting watts.

This generator features a conventional pull-start mechanism, but also a simple and elegant electric starter (battery included).

With a fuel capacity of 2.9 gallons, the DF623X can operate for around 6 hours at 50% load using gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.48 GPH), or for around 9.3 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.51 GPH) using propane.

The powering of sensitive electronic devices with the DF623X is not recommended due to its high THD (<20%).

Outlets

The control panel includes the following 4 AC outlets:

It also sports 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 10A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which you may charge your batteries with ease.

With its TT-30R receptacle (TT as in 'Travel Trailer'), this WEN generator is RV Ready. In addition, as it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the DF623X is transfer switch ready: in case of a power outage, you will be easily able to connect it to a breaker box and power your household.

Portability

The design of the WEN DF623X is a typical, open frame, with the dimensions of L26.1 x W23.4 x H22.1 in, offering support and stability and enabling the possibility of raising it above ground level. The featured design is ideal for the outdoors and all tough environments.

As the generator's weight is 132 pounds, manually moving it or transporting it may be challenging, despite the fact that it is technically considered 'portable' (movable). Nevertheless, thanks to its wheel kit and its folding handle (a decent solution to its lack of maneuverability), the generator can be easily moved, once placed the ground.

Features

The DF623X's control panel

The DF623X and its control panel include a convenient meter, which displays voltage, frequency and lifetime hours. This feature comes handy when monitoring its status and activity.

A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the generator.

From a security standpoint, the product offers an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), 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.

Along the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), useful for starting the generator right away, the WEN DF623X's package also includes these accessories: tool kit, funnel, propane hose and oil. An official storage cover is also available, as a separate purchase.

Emissions

The WEN DF623X is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. It can therefore be sold and purchased in all 50 states, including California.

Moreover, it features a spark arrestor, making it usable in forested areas.
