Plenty of power, easy to start

I wanted to wait until I had several hours of use to write a review and I'm at approx 40 hours now with many of those coming from almost continuous use during a storm in October 2021 where we had no power for 5 days. I had the generator hooked up to a 10 circuit reliance transfer switch I had installed months prior. I have essentials like heat, fridge, lighting and the biggest load of all - my 80 gallon hot water heater. You can definitely tell when the heating elements kick on but the generator handles it no problem. After the 25 hour initial run time I changed the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic as I do in all my generators and small equipment so I expect it to last a long time. The push button start is great as my last generator was pull start only. The remote start key FOB is a nice feature but I've hardly used it.

Best in class

I purchased this as a home backup in case of a hurricane or storm that causes power outage. I did my research and even considered a whole home backup. This generator was far and away the best option for me. Plenty of power for window AC units, refrigerator, and much more. Very happy with my purchase.

Easy Setup

Generator came with clear and well-illustrated instructions and even included a kit with the required sized wrenches, a spark plug wrench, a handy oil funnel designed specifically for the fill cap location on this machine. The remote start FOB was also a pleasant surprise.

wGEN7500 Generator

Bought this in June but did not take out of box until recently. Had a transfer switch and outlet box installed. Pluggrd in the generator and it started right up. Chose the breakers I wanted to run and it worked like a charm. Seems to be a very good unit.

Fantastic product, a must have item.

This a fantastic generator. The packing of the generator was perfect and arrived is perfect condition. This generator includes everything you need to get setup except the fuel. They include all the tools needed for the minimal assembly (wheels and foot pegs). They even include the required 1 quart of oil. Assembly required about 10 minutes to connect the wheels (no tools needed) and bolt on the foot pegs (4 bolts) and they included the wrench for this. They have also included an angled funnel to pour in the included engine oil. After I added fuel, connected the quick connect battery plug and turned on the fuel feed the generator started right up with a press of the button on the included remote. They have also included a battery tender to keep the starter battery charged when the generator is stored. I also tried the pull start and it was very easy to pull and the generator started on the first pull. This generator is also extremely quiet for the amount of power it puts out. I would say its not much louder than the two small 2200 watt Red branded models that I am replacing with this generator. I would highly recommend this generator as a backup power source for your home, farm, RV or anything else you might need backup power for.

Reviews were correct!

In anticipation of hurricane season here on the coast, I had time to thoroughly search for what I needed. The Wgen7500 stood out over and over on the attributes I was looking for. Then the many positive reviews made the sale. That was even before the included 3-year warranty. I went further and searched warranty stations for that just in case moment and there is a positively known one 4 miles away. Just in case:) Every aspect affirms my choice after a very deliberate search. Thank you Westinghouse.

Arrived in excellent condition strapped on a pallet.

Just got it so haven't used it yet. Also have to have a transfer switch installed by an electrician. Very easy to assemble as you have to put the wheels on and also the rear stands. Fill oil and gasoline and connected the battery wire,open the fuel shutoff valve and flip the switch to the on position and it started right up. Love the remote key fob starter !! Kudos to Westinghouse for that !!

Super easy and reliable!

I purchased this generator because it has a 220 V plug. The power goes out so often that I am using it as a back up generator. It starts quickly and easily with the electric start. The remote start is reliable. It is also a super efficient motor. It has a 6.6 gallon tank that will run approximately eight hours without a refill. I am really happy!

New Generator Owners

I officially upgraded from a 2500 W generator built in 1801 (not really but looks like it). Im an electrician and i've been researching generators for months now. I live in a smaller house that loses power 4-7times a year average. This is overrkill, im a firm believer of, i would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. zero knowledge of generator start up and all that, this cranked on first try. zero issues. did a quick test to see what it could hold, and besides my AC and range, it didnt even hiccup. VERY satisfied customer. spend the money. You get what you pay for.

some really great features

I bought this last week. After having given it the twice around, I'm really impressed with how this thing is made. I had the two wheels and both stands on in under ten minutes. It fired right up after filling it up with oil and gas and ran some small demand items. The real proof will be how it handles power outages as I'm going to use it for whole house backup.
