Powered the house for hours in cold temps

Ran this on propane, and it powered the whole electrical panel via transfer switch. The 20lb propane tank lasted for at least 5 hours, but the low outdoor temps chilled the fuel in the tank to the point where the generator would shut down. No fault of this generator, but just a note that if running in cold temps I would recommend connecting to a larger tank, which I intend on doing. I have not yet tried running this on gasoline. Overall, I am pleased with how this generator ran when we needed it to. Set up was straightforward (make sure to add oil before starting!), and the electric starter worked well.

Good but frustrating.

I just received my wgen7500 dual fuel. It came package well and in good shape. The problem started when I tried to install the feet to the under side of the generator. The nut that was welded to the frame to receive the bolt was welded on crooked and the bolt would not thread in straight. After trying for an hour I finally got it started but was cross threaded. As I tried to tighten it down the bolt snapped off. I then had to fabricate my own mounting system for that foot. Something else you should know is if you turn the generator off while running on propane and then try to restart it, it will backfire through the muffler because propane is still feeding into the motor I guess. The only way to stop this is to shut propane tank down immediately when you turn generator off even if its only for 2-3 minutes before you are going to restart it, it will backfire. This kind of defeats the purpose of having a remote start if you have to go turn the propane off and on each time you want to start it. The next frustrating thing was when I went to register the generator, the form asked for a serial #. Well there is not a serial # on the tag, only a model # and a part #. I am assuming the part # is the serial # but not sure so I gave all the #s on the tag and they can figure it out. Over all the machine seems to run good on both gas and propane and started right up when I tried.

Starts easily and runs smoothly

I bought this generator three weeks ago, fortunately I have not had to use it for a power outage, but I have started it and let it run for ten minutes or so several times. I turned off the power to our house and connected the generator, and it worked fine. I did have some difficulty with the screws fastening the feet on the generator frame.

Great Generator

Purchased this generator just in case of a power outage after the Texas storm. This generator started right up. I had an electrician install a quad outlet so I could connect extension cords inside the house to power my items as needed. Great product!

Great Gen Set Features

Great features with remote start and automatic transfer switch capability. Negatives are that it is loud and you must keep it covered in the rain. The rain shorted out the connection between the battery terminals so it would not automatically start. Once the water was blown off and it dried out it worked again fine.

Looking forward to using it (kind of )

After recently experiencing multiple power outages, i knew we needed a generator. After a lot of research, this is the product we chose. We are excited to use it and know it will be worth its money (and then some) when the time comes we need to use it.

Great Features and No-Hassel Setup

I carefully researched portable generators before I purchased this Westinghouse WGen7500DF generator. I wanted a duel fuel model and this was one of the best rated. It has remote start too, at no extra charge. Assembly was easy, I only had to mount the wheels and two feet. The User Manual was one of the best I've seen; it was well written with clear pictures and it covered every aspect of set-up, operation and maintenance. The generator came with a LP hose and regulator, battery and charger (with some brands the battery is extra!) oil and tools. After I hooked up the LP gas line it started right up. It has electric start, just push the button which automatically cranks the motor and starts the machine. (you don't have hold the Start button down) I also liked that it had an LED meter which can be cycled to show Voltage, Frequency and Runtime.The warranty is also one of the longest to cover parts and labor. I'm very pleased I bought this product and I would recommend it to others.

Very nice generator

I have an older 5000 watt pull start only generator I use for power outages. The problem was getting it to run in cold weather. I decided to purchase the WGen7500 due to the great price and the added features, mainly the battery start. I had a generator inlet installed to my electric panel and now I only have to run one power cord. No more dreading the winter power outages.

Peace of Mind

I bought this about three weeks ago, I put the wheels on that came in the box, and I am ready to go. I love the auto start feature, and the gas, propane choice. This assures me that if I run out of gas, I can switch to my extra propane tank without losing down time. I will keep the battery charged so I can use the auto start feature if needed. Bought this to assure I will have heat for my 90&93 year old parents if our electricity should go out, which has happened twice in a month due to storms. Now that the weather is unpredictable lately, I feel better just knowing I have the generator.

Well built

Just received it. Easy to set up and started immediately, voltage steady under various loads. Key fob remote starter broken but I have requested a replacement. Will amend this rating if there is a problem with that issue. Otherwise extremely pleased so far.
