some really great features

I bought this last week. After having given it the twice around, I'm really impressed with how this thing is made. I had the two wheels and both stands on in under ten minutes. It fired right up after filling it up with oil and gas and ran some small demand items. The real proof will be how it handles power outages as I'm going to use it for whole house backup.

Great bang for your buck!

After tirelessly researching potential generators to power my home, I decided to purchase the Westinghouse WGen7500 as I couldn't deny the amount of power it offers paired with it's competitive selling price. It arrived in great condition, and I'm very pleased with all of the available features. I had an electrician friend install a transfer switch, so I can connect my gen to my house, and power most of my home during a power outage. I've tested it out under load, and it handled everything I threw at it. Very pleased with my purchase!

WGen7500 what a machine

Just received it yesterday 12/07/21 followed directions installing legs, wheels and oil what a snap. This is a rugged machine, fired right up now working with electrician to install Manual Transfer Switch. When the time comes we will be off and rolling not sitting in the dark/cold.

Very solid

I just purchased this generator. I am very impressed with how well made this unit is. Very solid. Even the wheels have bearings in them so they roll easily. It was straight forward to put the legs and wheels on. All the parts sent along with this unit were packaged well and all the parts were there. The unit was also packaged well to keep it from getting damaged. So far I am very satisfied and glad that I have this generator.

Dependable Power When We Needed It

Bought this several years ago and used it once last year for a few hours. With yesterday's storm our power went out again. It took a dozen tries (3 electric start cycles 4 times) before it powered up (probably old fuel in the line) but it did start up which saved the day. I power the whole house (minus 220 appliances) and it still had 1/2 a tank after 8 hours of running. Exactly what we needed.

Worked great during snow storm

Bought this and then a few weeks later a snow storm struck and we lost power for four days. Ran great, never stopped or struggled. The only issue I saw is the gas gauge is off, it only registered half full when it was actually completely full. Oh well, on a plus it did burn very little fuel compared to my old generator and the remote start is awesome.

Dependable and powerful

I bought this nearly 3 years ago (may have been a previous model but it looks identical). Thankfully have only had to use it a few times. We have a large house with well pump, septic pump, sump pump that runs frequently and cannot afford to lose power, central AC and heat. I had a transfer switch installed by the side door of my garage, and once I found the right cord and adapter I was pleased to find that it worked flawlessly with this generator to power the whole house. I was able to use the furnace fan and gas furnace in addition to powering the well pump, septic lift pump, sump pump, water softeners, fridge, internet router and all the lights. Very impressive. I have not tried to run our central AC unit but I think I probably could if I turned off some other things. It starts up great even when not run for several months. I just recommend either keeping the starter battery plugged in or remembering to charge it periodically (otherwise you can still pull start it).

Looking great working strong and worry free

Bought August 2020, received September 2020, unpacked, put it to work within the hr...and has functioned as needed, we don't mind the genset sound, placed away from our work and living space in an open top breathable enclosure , pretty much awesome...great replacement to a crashed truck but useable old dodge cummins truck engine that we used as a emergency power source. This Westinghouse will be a primary source and cummins as a secondary....worth the wait.

Simple and easy to use

This generator was purchased to replace a 20 year old unit which was beginning to have 4problems. The WGEN7500 is at least 2500 watts more powerful than the one it replaces, is quieter, easier to use and fits easily into the space of the old one. Highly recommended.
