I've only turned it on but not actually plugged it in to operate any equipment. It is extremely loud with no load. The product literature mentions 70dB. It is more like 110dB or more - again, with no load. After we test/use this generator under load I'll update this review.

The title says it all. This is a powerful well-built generator that can run my whole house. Living in Florida a generator is definitely a must have. You cannot go wrong with a Westinghouse product. My grandfather and father both worked for Westinghouse and they trust it and so do I. She runs very well and tested out to do everything that it is built for. While I would rather not need it, if electricity goes out, I am confident I will have the power to keep my family safe and the important things running.

We just purchased this generator as a security measure to ensure that our home will be running with electricity in the event of an emergency. So far we just got it running in no time and its seems to be pretty decent and very quiet. The wireless remote is a bonus.

Living in Houston with a 5 ton A/C unit, I needed a generator large enough to run it. Sure enough, once I installed a soft start on my Trane unit, this generator fires in up with no problem. Added a 50amp receptacle beside main panel and I'm now able to run entire house. And I'm running EXCLUSIVELY on natural gas; the lowest producing fuel. Very happy with purchase.

Bought it a week ago. Just got a chance to put it together today everything was nicely packed and all items were there. Great instructions didn't take long to put together. Connected to my natural gas line started up after a few tries once air was out of the line. Ran it for about 30 mins without any problems. Love it..

Bought this generator to be ready for hurricane season. Quick/easy to get ready for use. Easier to move around than you would expect for a heavy machine. I'm running it on natural gas - simple to hook up and start-up. I was worried about how loud it would be, but it is fine.

My New Generator: A Real Upgrade Bigger, Better, and Just What I Needed I recently replaced my old, small generator with a new, bigger one, and the difference is huge. The new generator is sturdier, runs quieter, and powers way more stuff—no more picking and choosing what to keep on during a blackout. Setting it up was simple, and the wheels make it easy to roll around. Safety features like auto shut-off and carbon monoxide detection give me peace of mind. What's Great • Powers the essentials and then some—fridge, lights, office, even extras • Runs quietly and for over 12 hours on a tank • Works with gas, propane and natural gas • Easy to move and maintain Final Thoughts Honestly, upgrading to this new generator was totally worth it. It's reliable, efficient, and makes storm season a lot less stressful. If you're thinking about making the switch, go for it!

I bought this generator as complete back up to my home as well as for camping. The build quality appears to be top notch and very sturdy. I like the tri-fuel option since I do have natural gas at my home which would let me run this for very long periods if needed. The electric start feature is a must for me. I can now understand why so many people rate Westinghouse generators so highly!

My parents bought a Westinghouse 6500, and had to use it last year after a hurricane. They used it for 1 week and was easy for them to operate as they are in their 80's. I used have a Troy built, but decided to upgrade to a Westinghouse that had a self start and could operate everything in my house. We are going to have an electrician run the line so it can be hooked to the house for when we need it. Have already started it and runs a lot quieter than my old one. My sister and her husband have also purchased a Westinghouse when they experienced the ease of operation.

We didn't have a generator after Helene devastated our town and had to borrow one from a friend. It took 11 days to restore power to our neighborhood. We didn't want to get caught without emergency power again. With this tri-fuel, model, we have options depending on the fuel that's available to us in an unexpected power outage.
