Excellent choice for portable power during outages.

I received the unit a couple of days before Hurricane Irma visited Florida. I unboxed the unit, assembled the wheels, connected the battery, added the engine oil, fueled the unit and initiated a start via the remote control. The unit came up and ran flawlessly for 5 days straight (less shutdown for refueling). A true field test under fire. It was truly a saving grace. The unit has many nice features including the remote start, low oil cutoff and 10 hour run time at 50% load.

Easy assembly, start and lots of energy!

We live in Florida so we are concerned with storms. Bought this model for peace of mind. The Gen7500 has lots of power and should serve our emergency needs. Looks like the handle load will include two refrigerators, computer systems, tv and a/c wall mount. Very pleased with the product and hope we don't have to ever put it to the test!

Work perfectly

I installed this unit last month, and a few days ago, used it the first time when there was a power outage. It was such a breeze to have it up and running. This is the first time that I don't need to worry about not having water running in my house when power is out, and have rotten food in my smelly refrigerator.

My electrician is very impressed

My electrician just installed the transfer switch kit, got all desired items onto the panel and we did a test run of the generator yesterday. It worked perfectly, smoothly, easily. The only reason I gave four stars rather than five is that we haven't had a power outage yet to test it out for real. My electrician loved the electric start, the wattage, especially that the wheels had bearings (quality!), the ease to set up and was even a little tickled by the remote starter. While the generator is very heavy, it is very easy to move using the handle. I believe he is going to buy one for his own home. If my electrician is happy, then I'm happy because he knows about these things.

Well packaged

My new generator showed up as promised in good condition. All parts were in the box, it was easy to assemble (just had to install wheels and feet.) This WGen7500 is to replace a unit I have had since Hurricane Andrew - 1992. Hopefully this will provide me the reliable power my old unit had.

great buy

so far so good ! i really like that with a push of a button , it easily starts, and still have the option to pull start in a pinch, the fold down handles fit nicely out of the way , the engine noise is tolerable and expected for this type of machine,, overall after doing my homework and research, i am very glad i made this purchase, it has kept everything running without a problem

Great product and features.

I purchased the WGEN7500 a week ago. Assembly of the wheels and support feet was easy. I added the supplied oil and some gas. The generator started up on the first attempt. I'll be pairing this generator up with a Generlink to supply power to my home during any power outages. I'm very happy with my purchase. A battery and charger were included in the price along with a key fob for remote starting. The unit is easy to move using the integrated handle. Instructions supplied were easy to follow.

A truly nice piece of equipment

After having a well known name generator permanently fail after 37 hours of run time I went looking for a replacement that was comparable in capacity but had the kind of reviews that turned heads, (thousands of ratings between 4 & 5). The packaging for this generator was excellent. The generator was pallet mounted and strapped. No damage to the actual cardboard box. Assembly was simple with even the wrench supplied for the feet attachment. The wheels were simply attached as well and are very well made with sealed bearings. Following all the manual information on pre-start and start procedures, the unit came to life effortlessly! The exhaust noise was considerably less than my previous unit. The control panel is well designed and simple to use. I am also intrigued with addition of a remote start key fob! I am a manual reader and will continue to go through all the unit's information, which by the way is also a fully printed on quality paper booklet. Kudos to Westinghouse on bringing their historical technology and quality to this consumer product.

Grateful Purchase

We purchased this generator for two reasons - after experiencing the winter storm of 2021 in south Texas and of the cost. We had been researching generators for months and the watts the WGen7500 provided for the cost just couldn't be beat. We tried it out and the ease to use it was an added plus. We're hopeful we won't have to use it, but it brings us peace of mind to know we have that safety net!

Solid build, easy to use, Great Generator!

Bought this product about a year ago. Easy to install and use, whether manual pull start, button press through the battery, or remote start with key chain. Works well in power outage to supply most of the home, or to run some power tools in the yard. Performance has been good. Well built and designed, easy to use. Handle to lift and move around because machine is heavy! So far so good, no problems encountered.
