Exceptional price for added features

I bought the WGen7500 which has pull, electric and remote start. Comes with wheels. Started the generator with both the pull and electric start. And from a distance of approximately 200' away, from generator and inside the house, started generator with the remote start with no problems. That being said, I'm hope I never have to use this but if I do I think this should work just fine.

Good so far

This was bought to mainly replace to an older 6500 watt generator for backup power. Living in the northeast we can lose power, especially in the winter/spring and need to make sure heat and sump pumps stay running. Its light enough for 2 to throw in my truck to take it with me. Just got it so I can't rate it excellent til it gets used more. Worked very well on a test though. Quieter that my current one.

Really Impressed

Our previous generator started acting up about a year ago. We purchased it 7 years ago and we only hoped we could replace it with a new one that would perform as well. A little early to tell, but our first impression was outstanding. The WGen7500 is considerably quieter than our last generator. The features are outstanding. Push button and remote starts that delay power for 15 seconds before sending electricity to the panel. This should help prevent damage to sensitive electronics. Also, shut down stops the electric current immediately and after a few seconds the generator stops. Large gas tank (6 gallons) keeps refueling less often. This model is much more efficient than the previous one. 16 hours run time per tank compare to the last one which gave us about 8 hours on 5 gallons. Not sure why the generator makers can't get on board with a standard oil reservior - 1.1 L or 1.16 quarts. My sister ordered the same model for her cabin. Will be up in a few weeks to set her's up. I think she will be impressed also.

Nice unit, great bang for the buck.

Easy installation, starts easy and runs well. Like the configuration options and remote start. We use as a standby generator as we lose power often. It's great that I can set it up to my transfer switch prior to a storm, and start it from within my house when necessary. Can also easily configure to use on construction projects prior to install. For the cost of the unit, I haven't found many that can compare in features and quality. Very pleased so far

Just now sitting up

I cant really review performance yet. I bought this late last year for 2022 hurricane season. Setting it up today and what I found out is this...easy to set up. I am now charging the battery , but the manual start was not hard to pull at all. That is what I was looking for was something I could use and it not be a headache for me when i am rushing and nerves about whatever is headed to the gulf of Mexico....

I highly recommend this easy starting WGen7500 Generator

This is my emergency generator for use during power outages. As I live on the west coast of Florida, they can be quite lengthy during hurricane season. (we were without power for 6 days in a row in 2017 and I was fortunate enough to borrow a generator for 4 of those days) The WGen7500 is an intrical part of my hurricane preparedness kit. It is easy starting, not too loud and plenty powerful enough to power refrigeration, entertainment and some cooling devices. I recommend it to anyone who asks me about it.

Ran my whole house

I bought this when we had high winds and lost power for about 3 days. It was a life saver! It was so cold and I was also worried about losing all my food right before Christmas. I had a house full, my kids and grandbabies, I needed power! It ran everything we needed.

Good so far

Comes with everything you need to get it running in the box expect gas. Very easy to set up and get running. The wheels are heavy duty and easy to install, no bolts it uses pins. Fill it up with gas and the included oil, hook up the battery and press the start button. Runs great. The noise level isnt too bad about what i was expecting. Seems powerful so far havent need to used to much yet but everything is great so far.

Easy to operate

I bought the WGen7500 in the spring and I'm so happy I did. It has multiple ways to hook up to the appliances in your house and multiple ways to start including a remote control and an electric push button start! The generator has a large gas tank capacity (6.6 gal) and a long run time as well as the ability to run at 9500 peak watts. The West Gen7500 gives us a great level of confidence and comfort the next time we lose power!

If you're a single woman, I highly recommend!

I bought my generator in Nov 2020 just in case I needed it over the winter. Lucky for me I haven't had to use it yet. Now I'm ready for the summer power outages if I need it. It was very easy to assemble. The handle is great and makes it so easy roll around the garage when I need to move it. As a single woman, that is very important because it is very heavy. LOL
