Plenty of power, Westinghouse quality

My wife has been after me for a few years to set up a generator for back-up power in our house. Last year there was a big snowstorm, but fortunately we only lost power for a few of days. We did end up having to throw out hundreds of dollars of food, though (refrigerator not powered). As this winter approached, I figured it was time to get that generator. The electrician that set up our panel interlock suggested the Westinghouse WGen7500DF. They were out of stock of this model, so I went ahead and got the larger generator.
The electric start feature is great. I love that it generates 220. This plus the extra watts allow us to leave all the breakers on in our house (except my Tesla charger, which is finicky about power) and not have to worry about scrimping every last watt to avoid overloading the generator. We have gas heat, water pump, and stove, but we're able to run the heater blower fan, any lights we want, the TV, Internet, a computer, refrigerator, and various lights. And this thing will pay for itself in a few years just in the savings from not losing food in the refrigerator.
The only negative I have is the noise. It really is quite loud compared to some of the smaller, inverter-style units that some of my neighbors have.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Outstanding!

We received the generator in mint condition, and started to use it right away. We were extremely impressed with the simplicity of the set up and how well the fit and finish of the unit. We opted for the WGen9500DF. It only makes sense to purchase a dual fuel generator, considering that sometimes it’s extremely difficult to storage gasoline, but not with the propane setting. If you leave in a coastal area prone to tornadoes and hurricanes, we strongly recommend this product. You will not be disappointed.

Very Nice Unit

I just bought this unit but compared to my old one it is very nice. I love the remote start feature and the push button start/stop. (I only hope the eletronics hold up). The engine is easy to start using the pull cord (and Im glad it has one). I dropped a star because it doesnt have a 12V outlet for charging 12 volt batteries and it is not as quiet as I would have liked. I expected 2019 technology would have cut the noise levels by half from that of my 20 year old generac. However, that doesn't make me wish i had paid way more money for a "red painted" competetor. So far I think this is well worth the cost and I'm glad I bought it

I bought this model to power my house during PG&E outage that seem to be occuring much more frequently. The generator was delivered 7 days early, which was amazing. I hooked it up right away and it ran like a champ for hours. So far, this has been an excellent buy. Everything works as described. A little noisy, but all generators of this size are.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We bought this last month. Haven't had to use it yet but like it is gas/propane and has a push or remote start.
