5 out of 5 stars review

Easy to assemble and run.

Purchased for emergency use after reading many reviews. Feet and wheels were easy to install and start-up was a snap. Even though wt. is about 200, was easy to maneuver. Honestly hope not to use it much, but if so, transfer switch might be the way to go.

Ease of Use

When researching generators there were a handful that kept showing up on the best of lists (CNet, Popular Mechanics, etc.) and the Westinghouse was one of them. What drew me to this product were the comments related to ease of set up and use. After having the unit delivered, and the electrician installing a 30 amp outlet, I can completely agree with everyone else. From the moment that the unit was unpackaged to when myself and the electrician tested the system, everything was clearly labeled, intuitive, and made a first time generator owner feel much more comfortable. The only way I could describe it is seamless. Three switch flips on the generator, two in my house, and everything was powered up.

Works Great high quality generator

We purchased a safety net for our home and it was very easy to put together and assemble. After following all the guidelines to preparation it started up right away and to my surprise was very smooth running. Out next purchase is going to be the ST controller for the house.. very happy with our investment.

It's a solid BEAST!

I purchased this generator to replace a 30 year old Generac 5000. I choose this model for the power, price and options. Once delivered, it only took about 20 minutes to unbox and setup. This model has electric start with remote start/shutdown key fob. All items were included to setup and run immediately (wheel kit, battery, oil, battery charger, etc.) I installed the wheels, front feet, oil, connected the battery (which already had a charge on it) added fuel, turn on the gas and the run switch, held the start button for 3 seconds and 3 seconds later it was running! I have a 20 AMP transfer switch installed on my home. This generator has a 120/240 30A socket. I simply had to purchase a 30A-20A adapter for $19.95 and all was good. This is a very rugged and solidly built generator! Very happy with my purchase decision !

Better than I expected

Generator was packaged carefully. Came with simple wheel and rubber feet install instructions. Came with a quart of small engine oil and a spout. Has remote start, a battery charger and comprehensive operating instructions. Nice job Westinghouse. Not your dad's generator :)

Great generator. Started on the first push of the button.

Powerful and less noisy than other generators with this much power. Have used it twice to power our house and it is strong enough for refrigerator, freezer, TV, lights as needed, ceiling fans as needed and washer machine. I am very pleased with this generator. Very easy to use.

Electric start doest work

Westinghouse is attempting to help troubleshoot so, if it gets figured out I will update review. Pull started first try. Runs much quieter than my previous generator. I want to love it , but I hate when something doesn't operate as advertised when it arrives.

Powerful and easy to start. I give it 5 stars.

I plan to use the generator as backup power to my home. I was impressed with the construction of the generator, though I was surprised it was made in China. It started up the very first time with the remote and all subsequent starts on the first try. i haven't actually had to use it yet ( i just bought it), but I already feel protected. I would recommend this generator to others.

Easy Setup

I just received this unit after having a competitors product that would not work. Setup was very quick and once battery was charged, started immediately. Bought as a backup for house. Probably will never need to use, but it is a good insurance policy should the need arise. Our son has the same type of setup and has already needed to use four times. More than paid for itself not having to throw out spoiled food due to lack of power.

Features are great

WGEN 7500 on 4-13-2021. Easy to unpack and assembly. Wheels, feet, and it came with oil, funnel and tools to get you started. Connected into the transfer switch after starting and work great. Running the essentials, Lights, refrigerator, ceiling fans and water pump on the well for a test drive and work out perfect.
