WEN DF280iX 2800-Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Generator, Quiet, Portable, and Lightweight with Fuel Shut Off and CO Watchdog - DF280iX

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 2800-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 2800 surge watts and 2250 rated watts of power on gasoline, or connect a propane tank for up to 2800 surge watts and 2000 rated watts of power on LPG. The WEN Watchdog CO Shutdown Sensor helps protect both you and your family by automatically turning off the generator if dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected. Our 98cc engine operates at a quiet 60 decibels at no load. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 2800W Inverter Generator is also equipped with fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before automatically shutting down. This helps fight the build-up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor, minimizing maintenance while prolonging the unit’s lifespan. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this generator limits total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, making it safe to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other sensitive electronics. The lightweight 45-pound design makes for easy portability while the ultra-efficient 1.58-gallon tank provides up to 9 hours of half-load run time (or 13.9 hours half-load run time on a 20-pound LPG tank). The fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V NEMA 5-20R receptacles, one 12V DC receptacle, and two 5V USB ports. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the eco-mode switch. This allows the generator's engine to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged into and unplugged from the panel, preventing the unnecessary usage of fuel. Need more energy? Easily link up any two WEN inverter generators using a WEN Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage amongst multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown combine with the built-in overload protection and indicator lights to safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage. And because this is a WEN Product, your inverter generator comes backed by a 3-year limited warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer helpline. Remember when your generator powered your electronics safely and quietly? Remember WEN

Features
  • Dual-fuel design runs on both gasoline (2800 surge watts, 2250 rated watts) and propane (2800 surge watts, 2000 rated watts)
  • Produces clean power to prevent damage to sensitive electronics such as smartphones, tablets and laptops
  • The WEN Watchdog CO Shutdown Sensor helps protect both you and your family by automatically turning off the generator if dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected
  • Fuel shutoff maximizes the generator’s lifespan by using up the remaining fuel in the carburetor before shutting down
  • Includes two three-prong 120V receptacles, one 12V DC receptacle, two 5V USB ports, and a three-year warranty
What our Experts Think
  • Flexible dual-fuel operation: Runs on gasoline (2,250 W running / 2,800 W surge) or propane (~2,000 W running), offering options for fuel availability or long-term propane storage.

  • Clean, electronics-safe power: Low total harmonic distortion (<1.2%) makes it safe for laptops, phones, chargers, medical devices, and other sensitive electronics.

  • Quiet and portable: Operates around 60 dB at no load, weighs ~45 lb, and is easy to transport — ideal for camping, RVs, tailgating, or small home-backup setups.

  • Safety and maintenance features: Built-in CO Watchdog sensor shuts off the generator if carbon monoxide levels become unsafe; fuel shutoff drains the carburetor to prevent fuel-related wear.

  • Decent runtime: 1.58‑gallon tank provides about 9 hours at half load, sufficient for overnight backup or running small appliances.

  • Best for light-to-moderate power needs: Suitable for lights, small appliances, laptops, chargers, or a mini fridge, but not for high-power or full-home loads.



Q&A

Q: What is the DF280iX?
A: A compact, dual-fuel inverter generator that runs on gasoline or propane, designed for quiet, portable power delivery.

A: Yes. Inverter technology produces clean, pure sine wave power with low total harmonic distortion, safe for laptops, phones, tablets, and other sensitive devices.

Q: What fuel and runtime specifications does it have?
A: Gasoline tank: ~1.58 gallons, ~9 hours at 50% load. Propane (20 lb tank): ~13.9 hours at similar load.

Q: What outlets and connectivity are included?
A: Two 120 V AC outlets, one 12 V DC outlet, and two 5 V USB ports for electronics, small appliances, and lighting.

Q: What safety and convenience features does it have?
A: CO Watchdog sensor (auto-shutdown for unsafe CO), fuel-shutoff feature to drain residual fuel, lightweight (~45 lb) for easy portability, and quiet operation.

Q: What are typical use cases?
A: Camping, tailgating, RVs, powering small appliances and electronics, lighting during outages, or light-duty home backup requiring portable, clean, quiet power.



Maintenance Tips
  • Check engine oil before every use to ensure proper lubrication and protect the engine.

  • Change oil after first 8–20 hours of run‑time, then every ~50 hours (or as needed based on load/use) to maintain engine health.

  • Inspect and clean or replace the air filter regularly — more often if operating in dusty or humid conditions — to maintain efficient combustion and performance.

  • Check the spark plug every ~100 hours or once a year — clean, re-gap, or replace if showing wear or fouling to ensure dependable starts.

  • Use the fuel‑shutoff feature before storage or transport so the carburetor draws remaining fuel — helps prevent stale fuel buildup and clogs.

  • For long‑term storage: drain fuel tank and carburetor, then run the engine until fuel is used up to avoid fuel degradation and carburetor issues.

  • Keep cooling vents and exterior surfaces clean and clear of debris to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.

  • Run the generator monthly for 20–30 minutes under light load to keep internal parts lubricated and ensure operational readiness.

  • Always shut down, unplug all loads, and let the unit cool completely before maintenance or refueling to avoid fire hazards and damage.

  • Periodically inspect nuts, bolts, and electrical connections to ensure stability, safety, and reliable operation.
