Exactly what I expected

Everything was packed well, product arrived undamaged. After going through the manual, adding oil and gas, it started right up, and ran for several hours with no hiccups. Very sturdy generator, very good output power, decent price for a generator in this price range. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Owner

Purchased and picked the new generator. First thing that impressed me was how well the generator was packaged, very well protected for shipping purposes. When I got the generator home and opened the box, the quality and care by Westinghouse was obvious. The materials enclosed were clear and easy to follow. The was minimal assembly required and very easy to complete. The wheels and front pads took about 5 minutes to complete. I added the engine oil, checked the oil level and attached the battery charger. The charger was one for approximately 5 minutes prior to the red indicator turning to blue. I wheeled the generator outside, added fresh fuel , chocked the engine, turn the fuel with on and pushed the start button. The generator cranked and started immediately. i let it run for about 5 minutes, attached the power chord and checked out the manual transfer switch i had just installed. All ready to go. The protection cage is of superb quality, well designed as is the control panel. It is obvious that thought was put into producing this generator by people who actually use them. The WGen 7500 is a solid value for a home backup generator. Thank you Westinghouse.

Very Impressed

Just received my WGEN7500 and finished assembly. After reading the instruction manual I was pleasantly surprised to find out out the additional features this generator had that weren't mentioned in the specs on-line. There is a remote key fob for starting and stopping the unit, low oil safety cutoff, trickle charger, built in charger and a port to remotely control a cross over switch! I will be test starting the unit as soon as I get some ethanol free gas. I will not be jeopardizing this generator with any ethanol fuels. I will also be using synthetic motor oil after this first oil change in order to ensure a really long life from this unit. I am now ready for our next hurricane.....no more evacuations for us.

Awesome features

We purchased this portable generator to replace our old one which was so hard to get started with the pull cord. The WGen7500 started like a charm with the push of a button and it even has a remote starter! I have serious cardiac issues, therefore, this generator will be very easy for me to handle! Thank you!

WGen7500 Arrived Damaged

The item was shipped by Pilot trucking and arrived with the box damaged. When I put the wheels on the generator I found that the air cover was damaged and a new cover would have to be sent. Also the Quick Start Guide indicated that a funnel would be included along with a tool kit. Neither was included and the only instructions was the Quick Start Guide - no manual. Also under Electric Starting in the Quick Start Guide the picture indicates the Red goes to the Negative and the Black to the positive but the actual instructions indicate the opposite. The editor was not paying attention.

One of the most satisfying purchases of my life!

This generator was a surprisingly satisfying purchase! The wheels and front legs were easy to attach to the frame. The front legs required a 10mm wrench to tighten the bolts and to my pleasant surprise, a 10mm wrench was included in the tool kit along with a spark plug wrench in a nice fabric pouch. A quart of oil was provided along with a tailor-made funnel to put it into the engine! I charged the battery overnight with the included battery charger. After reading the manual, I turned on the "RUN" switch and pressed the button on the remote-start key fob and the engine purred to life! Completely effortless! Kudos to Westinghouse for making a complete package that's easy to use and simple to operate!

More than I expected

I couldn't believe the features this has as opposed to my old generator. It's more compact than most yet the solid rubber feet keeps it from moving around when placed down. The folding handle gives quite good leverage when moving it around and I never expected a plug in charger for the generator battery to keep it fully charged for us homeowners. The automatic startup when it sets its own choke surprised me. The noise level was tolerable. I'll be using this to power 4 home circuits for emergency power as I'm pre wired to a box on the house and this makes it so much easier especially when you're 67 years old. Great job Westinghouse.
