This unit appears to be well built and nicely documented. Assembly was easy. Sound level appears to match the specification sheet. I had to start it for the first time in cold wether (28 deg F) after assembly and it started after two tries. The automatic start feature must sense if its running or not, and tries again. Worked well. I would have liked to have a power power included, but other than that, its looks like a really good unit.

Just got it so haven't used it yet. Also have to have a transfer switch installed by an electrician. Very easy to assemble as you have to put the wheels on and also the rear stands. Fill oil and gasoline and connected the battery wire,open the fuel shutoff valve and flip the switch to the on position and it started right up. Love the remote key fob starter !! Kudos to Westinghouse for that !!

This is my second Westinghouse generator as I needed to move from a 120V to a 240V connection. Hated giving up the reliable iGen4500 but this one is sturdy, was easy to set up and starts quickly. I expect it will serve us well as we deal with weather-related outages in our rural area.

Bought this unit in the event I am without power this winter, This unit has plenty horsepower to run my entire home. after receiving it I got the legs and wheels installed. fillied it up with the supplied oil and my gas, plugged in the battery, tried it using the remote. powered on immediately, then turned it off. tried the push button as well as the pull cord, both started with no issues. Haven't had to power anything in my home yet. but I am confident i'll have no problem. The gauges are big and clear to read. The noise level is not bad, it is a generator after all.

I just purchased the Westinghouse7500/9500 generator. It is loaded with features. We live in a Hurricane prone area of coastal Virginia....I hope I don't need to use it very often! so the built in battery charger is very valuable to me!!! I will e-rate this machine after the next storm!

Bought this a couple weeks ago to use as back up power after installing a Generator Transfer Switch. Works like a dream, we have a 2400 sq ft home and it powered lights, fans, fridges, tvs and all of our basic need. It was easy to operate, move (on wheels), instructions are clear and everything on it is easily accessible. Hope we don't have to use it too often though!

Haven't had enough time with it to give it 5 stars. Quality unit... very heavy. If you have any thoughts of being able to throw this around after delivery please know that your back will hate you. I find it interesting that Westinghouse is offering free gifts for a review. As a buyer it makes me wonder how many people get a true sense of the unit before reviewing. The free gift is a nice touch but it seems like a bribe. Anyway, looking forward to many years of use from this unit.

Reading other reviews and how consistent the good reviews were I decided to purchase. Maybe it is to early to write a good review, but so far so good. Maybe they need to contact me after 5 years to see if I still feel the same way. I really wanted that free cover , I have plenty of power strips. That was the only negative thing. Westing house has to change their supplier for the covers!!!!

I haven't had a chance to test it out yet but by first appearance it is well made. Assembly, what little there was which is a bonus, was very easy and under 5 minutes. I'm coming from a 20 year old generator so this has LOTS of bells and whistles that my old one didn't have. It was packaged very well, no damage that I can see and carton was in fairly pristine shape so I don't think it saw much abuse during shipping. Hopefully i never have to test out the warranty since the closest repair place to me is quite far, hopefully they'll send me the parts to repair myself if that happens.

Ordered after a three day power outage and had to manually bail my sump pump every three hours. Price was great and compared favorably with other manufacturers models at this size and wattage ( wgen7500 model ). Am having interlock switch installed by my electrician. I expect it will serve its purpose well. I have owned Westinghouse appliances and they have worked well.
