Perfect operation

We Ordered this generator late in the hurricane season and got it two days prior to Irma! I assembled the wheels, put oil and gas in it, and it ran flawlessly for the next ten days. I ran it about half its rated capacity and it ran for 12 hours per tank of gas. I'm changing the oil now and draining the gas so its ready for the next one. Very happy with this purchase, highly recommended! I also recommend a generator transfer switch wired to your house to protect the linemen repairing the grid.

Easy setup, easy to use even for a neophyte

I am not mechanically inclined, but am electronically enough so to be tired of not having power. I found this after research and reviews, and even my electrician has recommended it to his family and friends. As it turns out, this did way more of my Colonial-style house than I expected.

Super User Friendly

I would have given 5 stars except the battery was dead. It charged up perfectly using the electrical charger provided with the generator and starts up perfectly now. The manual pull start is super easy to pull to start and I'm 64 years young woman. I had a electrician wire the house using the 4 prong generator outlet and it powers my entire house.. easy easy easy. My electrician was so impressed with this generator he wanted to know how much it cost and where to get one and said the price was great for the features and power generated !!

Perfect

I did a ton of research and narrowed it down to this unit. It arrived perfect. I read some units arrived damaged. Mine was perfect. Took 5-10 minutes to connect wheels and fill included oil. Fired up immediately. I let it run while I walked to neighbors to hear it. This unit is listed at 64db. It is quieter than my previous 4kw. Neighbor was surprised it was way quieter than his new 5.5kw champion. I'm very pleased.

Exceeds all expectations

I love this generator. Very powerful, yet quieter than I expected. The 5500 watt unit I replaced was louder than this. Everything about this machine says quality. Literally nothing on it feels cheap. I can't believe I got this much machine for the price paid. It looks great too. Very thoughtfully designed, very easy to start, literally flip the On switch and press a button.

Just what we were looking for

Where my family and I live, power outages are a common thing with the winds getting crazy, so we decided we needed backup power just in case, and Westinghouse came through clutch!! We never have to worry about our food spoiling or our dogs being uncomfortable! So we appreciate this great product

Easy to assemble and starts right up!

Bought this to support California power outage due to wildfire risks. Should allow us to keep the essentials powered during a long outage. Only complaint so far is the cheap plastic wheels. At this price point, some decent rubber wheels should be included.

Easiest Starting Generator

I bought this 4 days ago after having an extended power outage and my power cell generator wasn't sufficient enough. Between me and my in-laws across the street we had to borrow a couple of generators. After receiving the WGen7500 a couple of hours ago, I was able to set it up and it fired on the first try just pushing the button. No more shoulder lock from pulling the power cord on the first borrowed on. I even shut it off and went upstairs to show my wife how easy it was to start by using the remote fob. She was quite impressed. Hopefully I won't need to use this soon, but I am confident that it will need our needs no matter how long a power outage lasts.

Quality, Well-built generator

I went through the snow storm that hit Texas in Feb 2021 and would have loved to have had this generator on hand. Learned my lesson. This generator looks to have everything I need for the next storm. It's well-built with a push button electric start and 7500 running watts of power. Couldn't ask for more in a generator!

Excellent Portable Gen for the Price

Received in excellent condition. Performed the minor assembly, added the oil and gas and she started right up. Love the design and the features for the price point even the FOB for the electric start. A lot quieter than my last Gen this replaces. Solid build and appears to be a great little work horse!
