WEN 6800-Watt Dual Fuel RV-Ready Electric Start Portable Inverter Generator with Fuel Shut Off and CO Watchdog for Electric Vehicle Backup (DF680iX)

I was really surprised by this Generator. I dont normally do reviews,however, due to the size of my fith wheel and the fact that my 4th wheel is wired for 50 amp i want others to know. So not only did this Generator run both my Ac's it also ran the exhaust fan for my stove and pretty much all my lights. I am still in the experimental phase and what this Generator can run. Nevertheless, it has met my expectations; Especially for the fact that I was running it on the 30 amp supply plug. I thought for sure I would be maxed out. Using my 50 amp supply power cord i ran it out approximately 25 ft. And hooked up the propane. Oh yes by the way I ran everything on propane which is supposed to be less efficient. Did not try gasoline, even though thats a better option for dual fuel generators. Nonetheless, the Generator was pretty quiet from 25 feet away running both AC,s. You could here the Generator but it wasn't bad. When I was able to run the Generator on eco mode, you could really tell the difference. Over time the Generator start up was easy. As the green button flashed I could walk away from the Generator and setup camp while it would start on its on. I did find a quieter Generator that was running in our campground. It was a Honda and it was powering a very small size class B. From looking online the Generator ran between $3k-7k. I couldn't see the wattge of the Honda Generator but the 2300 watt. Starts at $3k. After realizing the price of the Honda generator I was really happy with the purchase. Now the negative: The reason why I didn't want a 50 amp generator is because they are so big and heavy. The wen 6800 was much smaller than a 50 amp. For whatever reasons I couldn't get the wen to fit in my under pass through storage compartment. The bottom stabilizers kept catching on the vinyl insulation and getting caught. If you dont have that vinyl insert then you will probably be OK. Instead I had to put it in the back of my truck. So getting it up in the truck can be an issue. I am just going to have to stay in shape! I an not sure if I want to store the Generator in the very back due to weight issues or tolerances. In conclusion I am very happy with the Wen 6800. My wife was thrilled how quitting was. We are glad of the purchase Also, WEN is an American company. The company was founded in 1951 and is headquartered in West Dundee, Illinois.

We purchased this WEN dual-fuel inverter generator for our fifth wheel, and it has been a great addition to our RV setup. It provides plenty of power for our needs, and we especially appreciate having the flexibility to use either gasoline or propane. In our experience, it runs for approximately 12 hours on a standard bottle of propane, which is very convenient for extended use. The electric start makes it easy to operate, and the controls are clearly labeled and straightforward. Although it is a substantial generator, the built-in wheels and handle make moving it much easier. It fits nicely on the cargo carrier at the back of our fifth wheel, and we keep it covered and securely strapped down while traveling. It feels sturdy, dependable, and well made. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend it to RV owners looking for a powerful and versatile generator.

So far so good! Surprisingly quiet. I use for my LQ car hauler. Runs AC and all outlets for cooling fans for racecar at track. Used only on propane and starts quick! A 40lb bottle lasts us 28-30hrs of continuous use I west Texas heat. It’s compact enough that I can fit 2-40lb tanks in compartment with it. Great buy!

Great unit, easy to set up and get it started. Had my fridge and freezer plugged in and it handled them perfectly, even has outlet for charging cell phone. Has RV plug, 220 and 115 outlets, electric start is great but is also very easy to start pulling the rope too. It only has 2 115 outlets, I would have liked 4. Very pleased with my purchase and I ordered it on a Wednesday and it was delivered Friday morning. Highly recommend this unit.

I bought this WEN DF680iX as an RV/backup generator. For a while it did what I needed. It’s quiet for the size, the dual fuel setup is nice, and on paper it checks a lot of boxes. The problem is when something goes wrong. Mine started having issues after running the RV overnight. It began surging, then after shutdown it would not start on gasoline. It briefly ran on propane, then propane stopped working too. I’ve gone through the basics: fuel, carb, selector, plug, propane, oil level, etc. It now appears to have a no-spark issue, so this is not just dirty fuel or a simple carb problem. The most frustrating part is WEN support. I’ve emailed them twice over the last couple months and have not received a response. This generator is supposed to have a 3-year warranty, but that doesn’t mean much if support doesn’t answer. When it worked, I liked it. But if you are buying this for RV backup or emergency power, support matters. A generator that leaves you troubleshooting in the field with no response from the manufacturer is hard to recommend. I wanted to like this unit, but right now I would not buy another one.

I recently purchased the WEN 6800-Watt Dual Fuel RV-Ready Electric Start Portable Inverter Generator (DF680iX), and it has exceeded my expectations. The dual fuel capability is a huge advantage—I’ve been able to switch between gasoline and propane easily depending on availability, which gives great flexibility. The electric start works flawlessly, making it very convenient to use, and the generator runs surprisingly quiet for its power level. I also appreciate the CO Watchdog feature, which adds an extra layer of safety, especially when using it around the house or during emergencies. Power output has been strong and consistent. It handles multiple appliances smoothly, making it perfect for home backup or RV use. The build quality feels solid, and overall it gives a sense of reliability. Highly recommend this generator to anyone looking for a dependable, versatile, and user-friendly power solution.

Surprisingly powerful. Running 3 ACs in a 37’ RV. It’s pretty quiet under a light load, when you crank the power, it works hard but loud. It is loud when it’s working hard. I am thoroughly impressed with how easy the setup is. Downside is I have an RV quick connect at the back of my RV, next to where I plug in. The propane adapter is a quick attach to the generator only, not one for the propane hookup-just for a tank. I highly recommend this unit for how easy it is to move, how well made it is, how small it is, the dual fuel is awesome and uses it sparingly even under load. I dropped one star for how loud it is. You cannot beat this generator for 800$

We were in need of a more powerful generator for our newly purchased off grid cabin. We were of course told to go with Honda for quiet operations and efficiencies, but after purchasing the cabin, we only had a limited amount of funds available. Needed to make our investment really pay off. Boy did it ever! After some research, we began to understand that WEN is a very reputable company in this space. After frankly, after seeing a YouTube video showing how this generator can be used for whole house backup, we were sold! So first things first, since we were using this for off grid power through a fully code compliant panel, you will want to UNBOND this generator, placing it into floating neutral. A very easy process and something we learned along the way. We also love the idea of dual fuel options. We will eventually be installing larger, more powerful solar solutions, but for now, needed a way to keep cabin alive. We do have a gas caddy and adequate supply, but that does add up in terms of cost over the weekends. However, using a 40lb propane tank at around $15.00 filled for two (2) full weekends, that was outstanding. Very efficient, and we are capable of running in Eco Mode during the evening and early morning hours. Speaking of Eco Mode, this genny is very quiet. Yes, you do hear it throughout the cabin but move about 100 yards away and the sound fades almost all away. Great for hunting and general game watching activities. Also has no issues running our water pump, which was the main reason we needed to more powerful device when the weather is colder and does not run as efficiently in terms of power production. Yes, this item is heavy. Our use is essentially in a stationary position only moving in and out of the crawl space below the cabin. However, you can easily use this for portable operations with stronger individuals and certainly an able-bodied couple. All in all, extremely satisfied with this product and glad we took the risk of purchasing this brand. Just goes to show, do your research and don't be afraid to make decisions based upon your needs. Be wary of influencers or paid shives who don't give you the facts. This is an awesome device, and I would certainly not only recommend it, but also purchase it again! BTW, the only reason we keep pushing solar is not only "free" energy, but also the peace and quiet. But when working and living off grid, you have to do what you have to do given different situations.
