Easy to use generator

Perfectly easy to assembly reviewed everything to make sure properly installed it was. Added oil and fuel assembled wheels and both feet. Started the generator with a push of the button. Can't wait next week going camping this will perfect for running RV. I have tried walking with it behind me with ease.

Phenominal Equipment

I bought this due to the constant issues with Texas power companies and their rolling blackouts and I couldn't be happier . Starts right up , and remote start is awesome. Runs everything I need it to and looking into an inverter to run the upstairs AC unit eventually.

Easy assembly, started first try.

Purchased 8/17/20 for home standby in case of power outage. Simple assembly of stands and wheels. Remote worked on first try startup. I like this feature very much. No more cord pulling. Battery was charged enough to start generator. Next is the installation of a transfer switch.

Quality Generator

Purchased for home backup. WGEN7500 Nice features, includes details not listed such as sealed bearings on wheels, micro filter cup on gas tank (removable). Installed feet, wheels, oil (slightly over 1 QT which was supplied and included funnel) connected battery, added gas, turn on fuel and on button, pressed the remote start button, generator fired right up and and works flawless. Solid handle for moving which is nice as generator is around 200 lbs. with fuel.

VERY IMPRESSED

My new WGEN7500 was delivered yesterday and spent some time this morning reviewing the features. Assembly of the wheels and feet was simple and straightforward. I connected the battery cables, added oil, non-ethanol gas and the generator started right up. My old generator did not have a battery, so the push button electric start on this one will make life much easier. The only "glitch" which caused me to pause for a moment was Figure 2 under the Electric Starting section of the "Quick Start Guide". It shows a drawing of the battery and cables which shows Positive (black) and Negative (red). I was certain that this information was incorrect, but I followed the black cable to the ground and the red cable to the solenoid just to be sure. This typo in the guide could create a problem for a novice. My transfer switch has a floating ground, so I had to move the alternator bonded jumper wire to the neutral ground. The instructions in the user manual for this procedure were excellent and I completed the task in less than 5 minutes. I am very impressed with my new generator and am looking forward to years excellent service.

Great Capability at an Exceptional Price

We purchased this generator to preclude a repeat of the power outages we experienced last year during Hurricane Irma. At 7500 watts, it has more than enough power to meet our minimum essential back up home power needs. It was easy to set up and started right up with the electrical starter and remote. I highly recommend this product.

Ease of use

I bought the WGen7500 on May 3 and on May 19th we got some severe thunderstorms in our area and lost power. Prior to this, I saw the forecast and I has to prepare the generator for use. Putting it together was simple and only took about 15 minutes and getting it ready to use was very simple and straight forward. The generator started right up and when the storm came it was ready and worked like it should. Not very loud.

complete package for a great price

just received this today and inside the box is the complete package of what you see and everything (short of gas) to get it running. Other generators i viewed from other manufacturers, did not include a wheel kit or a battery, but this one does, and includes a battery charger also! started within a second of pushing the start button, of course its brand new so i would not expect less. Westinghouse has been around for a very long time, so im sure this generator will not disappoint.

So far so good

This is very much a fine product with two noted exceptions: 1) An acrid smell from the exhaust with running fresh gas. 2) Electric start never starts on the first attempt - has to repeat the starter cycle. If this Chinese made engine only had manual start, it would be a problem with a lot of people

Easy to use

I have been wanting to get a generator for years but never knew what size / type to buy. I eventually asked my electrician and he recommended the Westinghouse WGen7500 without hesitation. It is easy to use and exactly what we needed. I feel so much more comfortable knowing that we won't be without power again moving forward.
