Easy to Use, Great Generator

I bought this generator after the remnants of a recent hurricane came through my area. I love the push button and remote start features. Much easier than having to pull a rope to start it! It is capable of powering everything I need when the power goes out at home. Saves me a lot in groceries that I otherwise would have lost due to no electricity.

More than I expected

I couldn’t believe the features this has as opposed to my old generator. It’s more compact than most yet the solid rubber feet keeps it from moving around when placed down. The folding handle gives quite good leverage when moving it around and I never expected a plug in charger for the generator battery to keep it fully charged for us homeowners. The automatic startup when it sets its own choke surprised me. The noise level was tolerable. I’ll be using this to power 4 home circuits for emergency power as I’m pre wired to a box on the house and this makes it so much easier especially when you’re 67 years old. Great job Westinghouse.
I would recommend this to a friend!

WGen7500 Rocks! Easy Set-up - Works Amazingly Well
on December 23, 2018

from Whitefish, Montana
I just got my WGen 7500 after reading and studying consumer reviews on 4 different sites. The WGen7500 was rated with more reviews and additionally with higher reviews than any other generator! I was initially looking for different brands, but, the Westinghouse really caught my eye and loved the features and reviews so I opted for the WGen7500. The set-up was amazingly easy, directions very clear, the packaging was great with one of the best labeled and informative boxes I've seen. Very classy presentation.... and it started immediately with no issues! I'd buy it again in a heartbeat if I wanted another generator. Highly recommended!

Easy!

Easy to set up; easy to run! I purchased this generator because the one I had was 22 years old, very hard to start, and we just lived through Hurricane Harvey with mortal fear that the power would go out and we would not have the power to operate the sump pump to remove water from our basement. The review I read said this was the best model for the money. I loved the electric start feature; we have frequent power outages and very heavy garage doors and it will be very easy to hook up the extension cord to the generator to open the doors. I sincerely hope I never have to use this during another hurricane--but if I do, I'll be 100% ready.

A Luxury Generator For An Affordable Price!
on October 13, 2020
Posted by: Stellar Productions
from Washington USA
I already have a review written on the site I bought this, but I figured I'd write a shorter version here as well. I am one of the lucky ones that received my generator intact and undamaged!
The generator starts easily on the first push of the button on the unit, or the button on the remote every time. The generator runs very smooth, and does an excellent job of outputting power. The generator does run loud, 90+ DB right next to the unit, and 72 DB at 50' away in direct line of sight.
The generator does weigh 197 pounds dry, and over 200 pounds when filled with oil and gas. While it is technically considered a portable generator, (because it has wheels and handle) the weight of it makes you not want to move it around too much, so I keep mine stationary after its first move to its permanent location.
This generator can output 31-AMPS continuous at 240V, and up to 39-AMPS peak at 240V. Additionally, it performs at a total wattage of 7500-WATTS continuous, and 9500-WATTS peak. If you need a generator that can power half of your home, this unit can do it! It comes with 2-duplex 120V outlets, and 1-L14-30 120/240 outlet.
Push button electric start, remote electric start, and automatic electric servo choke system, are some of the awesome luxury features you get with this generator. With a 420CC engine, this machine doesn't miss a beat. Nice automotive style muffler design, keeps exhaust sound at bay, but you will here considerable engine noise.
To sum it up, this is an awesome generator, I love it, and I highly recommend it 5 out of 5 stars!

Works fine, but fit and finish off making assembly difficult
on January 7, 2018

Verified Purchase:No
I picked this model due to features and good reviews. During assembly I discovered that one of the nuts welded to the frame to attach the feet was off-center. Because the nut didn't align with the hole in the frame, the bolt to attach on of the feet could not be threaded. I had to thread the bolt in backwards up to where the nut was welded to the frame protect the threads on the nut, then grind the hole in the frame larger with a dremel. Then I was able to thread the bolt through properly. So much for quick and easy assembly. Had this been a Harbor Freight product, I wouldn't have been surprised by this, but I expected better from Westinghouse.
