Very easy to start, transport, and use.

I bought this as a power outage dragged on and on. It saved the day! It was easy to set up and use. While I am not looking forward to using it again because that means there has been a bad storm, but it is comforting knowing it is there for when the power goes out. I can also use it for providing power to a remote campsite on my property.

On time and as advertised

I have not purchased a portable generator in 14 years. I have been pleasently surprised by the quality and workmanship apparent in the 7500. Assembly was simple and the unit started on first try. L14-30 outlet and GFCI worked correctly. I will need to use it some before I can judge long term operation.

Exactly What I Need!

I purchased this item a week ago and it was delivered today (07/08/2022). After my son and I unboxed it I was pleased that my generator arrived without any dents or dings. I had read previous reviews that other customers received their generator with dents. I was anxious to put my new generator to the test (it is currently hurricane season). After putting the wheels and bottom parts on the generator (extremely easy to do) I added the oil and gas and plugged it directly into my breaker. My home is a 2 bedroom, 1 and 1/2 bath with a huge den area. I have air conditioner window units in just about every room. My generator started with ease (nice and strong). I am extremely proud to say that EVERY appliance in my home worked! I am overjoyed with my purchase and I strongly recommend others to purchase the 7500c generator!

Followed instructions and hit the power button it started.

Replaced old generator for emergency use storms, etc. Hope to never have to use. I liked the remote control feature ,and the three year warranty . Looks well built and was easy to install wheel kit , and attach battery cables. Started up at the first hit of the remote and ran flawlessly .

Solid generator at a good price

After much research, I purchased this generator because it had conistently good reviews on several sites and was on every current "best of" list. It was also one of the best deals money/wattage wise. So far, I am very happy. It was packed well and comes with everything needed to run. I had it together in about 30 minutes. The manual is well written/detailed and even shows how to set up for house power so gfci outlets work correctly.

Very Satisfied

I spent days reviewing the many generators that are available. I considered the price as well as the output wattage, features, but more importantly I wanted quality and reliability. I could have bought a cheaper generator or a higher wattage output for the same price, but after much research and reading countless reviews I decided to go with the WGen7500. I unpacked the generator and followed the instructions. It was easy to assemble and the directions were clear on how to prepare it to run. After checking with Westinghouse I opted to not use the oil they sent with the generator and decided to purchase synthetic oil instead. On a side not I also chose to use 93 octane gas. I also wanted a model with a manual start, push button start, and remote control option. Once I got everything ready to go the moment of truth came to fire it up. I hit the push button start and it cranked up within seconds. The noise level was more that reasonable. The engine ran smooth and the vibration was minimal which reinforced to me that it is quality made. After checking all the breakers and such I ran an extension cord and tested it out. It worked fantastic. I let it run for a bit and used the remote control to shut it down. I fired it back up using the remote control a few hours later and it started right back up. I know have some peace of mind come the next ice storm that I will be able provide the necessities for my family when we loose power again. I will be calling an electrician to come out and wire my panel so I can plug the generator in and run the necessities in the house. I am very happy with the decision I made. Like I said it is not the cheapest and you can certainly buy ones cheaper with higher output wattage, but buyer be ware. Just by reading reviews alone you will quickly find out that cheaper is not always better. Quality and durability are more important. You can have higher wattage but it does you no good if you generator does not start or wont stay on!

Workhorse!

So glad I bought the WGen7500 generator! It was very easy to get going - just add gas and oil. Boom! It starts with the touch of the button. It handled everything we threw at it - circular saw, air compressor, chop saw, etc. It is the perfect generator for getting things done on a remote site.

Best feature of any Generator

This generator started right up with the first push of a button. I love the fact they included a battery charger for when it sits through the winter. Keeps battery from going dead. I especially love the remote start. We have a generator shed and the fact that i can start it up without every going outside is a great feature. As you all know, most of us loose power when the weather is bad. The auto chock is a great feature also.

Simple installation and easy instructions

Easy to follow instructions. Couldn't be any simpler. Excellent quality. I'm using this as a back up home generator with an interlock system on my main panel. Should power 75% of my house or more. Easy to maneuver around. Doesn't take up much space in my garage. The only thing that I didn't like was the little funnel that came with it. Really wasn't that convenient. I used my own funnel to put oil in. Pretty heavy too. Make sure you have help getting it out of your car or truck.
