Good generator. Good buy

Powerful. Easy to start just remember when using the push start only push once and let the unit do the rest because it may take a couple try's to turn it over. Not super loud but don't expect a whisper it is a generator after all. Package included trickle charger which was nice. Nice gas gauge. Good size fuel tank. 90% put together when it arrives.

Easy set up, time will tell about performance

I'll be using this generator mostly to power my house during what seem to be more frequent weather-related power outages. It was very easy to set up by myself. I will be putting it through its paces in the next day or so to test it. I bought this generator to replace a Generac unit that died a premature death. Hopefully this new generator won't commit hari-kari by throwing part of itself through its cylinder head after just a few years of limited use like the Generac unit did.

Meets expectation. Looks great

My wife and I have been talking about getting a generator to have a backup for our home because of power outages. Looked at other brands but this one caught our attention. Have not used yet. Arrived with in 3 days. Assembly was simple. about 45 minutes. No damage in shipping. Will update after use.

Impressive Equipment

I've had this generator sitting in a box for almost 3 years and just pulled it out because of an impending hurricane. Due to the fact that it is electric start, I did not think that after three years the battery would still crank it up. Long story short, I put it together, filled the reservoir with oil, put fuel in it, hit the start button, and it started right up. It hasn't been hours tested, but I am impressed with the fact that it started after sitting for so long.

Easy set up

Unit was simple to prepare for use. Started with no problem, now will it work when needed... Observation: Set up instructions states to place unit on its side, engine side down; however, there is no way to tell where the engine is while the unit is still in the box. Hint - place the box on its edge with the gas filler to the top and slide the unit out. The wheel mount will be on the bottom making it easy to pivot to the wheel once the wheel is installed.

Easy thus far

So far so good. Easy to unpack and assemble. Manual was easy to follow. Filled with oil and little gas to test. Started right up. Now that I have it we will probably never have another power outage. Will update after first one. Thus far I give it A+. Seems very well put together.

Works Great!

I bought this due to the recent week long power outages we experience here in Maine. Easy set up right out of the box, no problems. Added fluids as required and started right up. Only issue was a little gas leaked from the shut off valve when opened but that ended on 1st pull of starter cord ( probably the gasket needed lubrication). Haven't had any problems since. When our power went out recently it started right up and ran our whole house no problem. It never even bogged down when 1st switched over! Extremely happy with this purchase, as is the wife. No more having to feed the woodstove every couple of hours all through the night.

Incredible product!

We purchased this green tarot to replace a old 4000watt unit and this unit powers the whole house including our workshop and studio where we do recording work for local musicians and singers! Absolutely love the remote start! I highly recommend this product and my son is planning on purchasing one in the future! We did mount the unit on a separate cart for me because it fits thru the doorway better and with me being 76yrs old the 4 caster streerable cart is easer for me to move it around. Thank so much for making a high quality product at a reasonable price for smaller people like us can afford! If you are questioning if this is a good unit just BUY IT! You won't regret it!!! Kudos to Westinghouse!

Great features

I purchase this Wgen7500 and had to charge the battery to get it to crank. I did not see anywhere in the user manual how long to charge the battery. The assembly is fairly easy but need two people for the wheels and feet. The 11W battery charger will charge the battery but again there should be something in the maintenance manual on how long to charge battery to prevent an overcharge.

Remote start up

I ordered this big boy for my elderly dad, it has kept the fridge running along with 3 fans , phones charged and we connect the electrical range as needed. It took a day for us to figure out how to enable the auto remote control. Luckily my cousin came over to help and you have to connect the battery it has to them be able to enable the auto remote control start which was one of the reasons o went with this generator. My dad would not be able to do the traditional pull plug to get it started, heck I could not even get mine going during the last hurricane at my house, I had to get help from my neighbors. The only thing is this baby is a gas quencher so keep that in mind get more than one big gas tanks for back up. We had a 5 and 2.5 gas tanks that we are having to fill up daily. I am so happy after the tornado I made this purchase for my dad so we were ready for Beryl. Still waiting for power to be restored right now but thanks to this big boy he is as comfortable as can be for now.
