Great so far!

Bought this several weeks ago following the deep freeze in Texas where we were without power during the coldest part of the storm. I've only test run it but plan to use this via an interlock breaker to power key systems in the house. Good economic alternative to a standby generator.

2nd W generator, Excellent

Bought our first one (7500) 2-1/2 years ago and since we are not on the grid yet, we use it 4-6 hours a day. Bought the Duel Fuel since we’ll have propane soon, so this is getting a workout like the first one. Do the maintenance like they recommend and this will be a workhorse!!! I expect this one to run just as the first one did, it has so far.

This thing is awesome!

Bought it for my dad and it is perfect! He’s thrilled as he lives about 200 miles away and is 90 - so, with Winter coming up, there isn’t the worry that he had before when he lost power. He said that it started right up and runs perfectly: Thank you Westinghouse employees and management: Great Job!

Heavy duty

I ordered a month ago and it finally came in. I'm very happy with the purchase. I hooked it up to a 30 amp plug with a transfer switch, for backup power and I'm happy to say that; it powered the entire house with no issues. Better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it...

Easy Setup

I bought this in August of 2022. I am pretty proud of myself for picking this model out all on my own. Set it up before hurricane Ian came through but ended up not needing it thank God! If I can figure out how to set this up anyone can! I will update this review if I ever have the need to use it.

Awesome Generator!

Noise level isn’t horrible for a generator of this size and output, I was pleasantly surprised. I had the generator put together (minimal assembly) out of the box in under 30 minutes with oil and gas. Started on the first attempt with the draw cord. Shut it down and started again with the remote start feature without any problems. The only thing I haven’t tried is running it off propane but have no doubt it’ll be just fine. So far it’s a great generator being used for home and RV trips. It’s bulky and heavy but good luck finding something this powerful for under 200lbs.

Very Satisfied

I bought this generator and it was delivered 12 days later. Had to put the wheels on and that's about it. Oh don't forget the oil. You will have to fill with the included oil first. First time I started it with the supplied remote control. It fired right up. Tried out some power tools etc. Exceeded my expectations.

Fantastic DF Generator

So happy I purchased this generator. I has plenty of power and the ability to switch fuels on the fly. This is perfect for our situation in California when we have power outages. The machine gives plenty of power and simple to use. Started right up the first time.

Finally needed it!

Yes I know this may be a little late, but...I purchased this generator in 11/2023. Did not even start it up once I brought it home. Then a year later and Helene hit the area I live in. Unboxed it, filled up the oil, charged the battery, put gas in, and she fired right up. She ran for nine days straight and I also had to switch it over to propane for a period also. It was a lifesaver indeed. I have all the confidence in Westinghouse craftsmanship and quality.

great generator

Nice generator. Very easy assembly. It is loud just like all generators of this type. However it is quieter than all of the other ones in my neighborhood. To my surprise, the fob start works well. At 120 feet, it started and stopped the engine. I have 2.5 hours of runtime, for testing and break in, and so far so good. More power and more features the a similar priced generac.
