Great Product 5 star for sure

I run a 36 foot travel trailer with it and it powers everything perfectly. Starts right up every time I have needed it. I love how it charges the battery while running or you can connect the battery charger that's supplied with it into an A/C outlet and charge the battery. The wireless remote works great also.

Really Impressed

Our previous generator started acting up about a year ago. We purchased it 7 years ago and we only hoped we could replace it with a new one that would perform as well. A little early to tell, but our first impression was outstanding. The WGen7500 is considerably quieter than our last generator. The features are outstanding. Push button and remote starts that delay power for 15 seconds before sending electricity to the panel. This should help prevent damage to sensitive electronics. Also, shut down stops the electric current immediately and after a few seconds the generator stops. Large gas tank (6 gallons) keeps refueling less often. This model is much more efficient than the previous one. 16 hours run time per tank compare to the last one which gave us about 8 hours on 5 gallons. Not sure why the generator makers can't get on board with a standard oil reservior - 1.1 L or 1.16 quarts. My sister ordered the same model for her cabin. Will be up in a few weeks to set her's up. I think she will be impressed also.

Nice unit, great bang for the buck.

Easy installation, starts easy and runs well. Like the configuration options and remote start. We use as a standby generator as we lose power often. It's great that I can set it up to my transfer switch prior to a storm, and start it from within my house when necessary. Can also easily configure to use on construction projects prior to install. For the cost of the unit, I haven't found many that can compare in features and quality. Very pleased so far

Great generator

I did a lot of surfing and comparing before purchasing the Westinghouse. Found it was highly rated. It was easy and intuitive to unpack and set up, with a very good owner's manual for operation. Easy to start (3 ways) and operate. I am hooking it up to a 10 circuit transfer switch for essentials in my house. Great product, Very intuitive.

Outstanding! Great Value

This generator is powerful and efficient. It supports the lights, the refrigerator, the hot water, computers and heat in the house when the storms shut down the grid. With just the press of the fob-the generator's on and we have electricity. It's a great value and a welcome backup system.

Push start is amazing

I previously owned a pull start generator. I am 64 years old and am not strong enough to start my old generator. My son bought me the Westinghouse generator 7500. The push button start is easy to start. It gives me peace of mind, knowing that I can start my generator myself and don't have to wait until my son can come over and start it.

Now with Back-up
5 out of 5 stars review

WGen7500

Living in the northeast purchased this generator as a back-up for power outages which seem to happen every year. Chose this model based on recommendation from neighbor. Easy to set-up (minimal set-up required). Powered up the first time when I was testing it with a transfer switch I had installed in the house. Quiet. Can't wait for the first power outage to really test it out.

Superior Quality

Upgraded from a 5500 watt (Powermate manual start) that wasn't able to keep up with our residential emergency power needs. The quality difference of this Westinghouse is impressive. Clearly a superior product in every way! Very happy with this choice!

Awesome Portable Power Source

I'm not even sure where to begin, but having owned numerous portable generators, this unit is the most impressive I've come across. Easy maintenance routine, easy start, and VERY reasonable sound profile. To break the unit in, I ran it for 20 hours carrying load so that I could see it successfully carry load, and complete the initial run and complete the first oil change. This thing is solid, and easy to use!

Works Great!

I bought this for 2 main reasons. One was to run a 240v space heater in a shop in the winter and the second was to run a 240v MIG welder. This generator seem to run both items (not simultaneously) without a problem at all. I love the remote feature as I can shut the generator off from within my shop, not having to go out in the 30 degree weather to do so. Very pleased with my purchase.
