Electric start works great. But, pull start tough to do

It was somewhat time consuming and difficult to maneuver to put everything together. However, it's a 7500 watt generator. So, weight should be expected. Just do not expect that you can just flip it around to get the wheels on or to other areas to set up. The electric start has been great. I bought this early June 2017. I tried it out a few weeks after it was delivered, June 7. I put about a 1/2 gal gas in it, and let it run with the refrigerator plugged in until the gas ran out. Maybe, 90 min to 2 hours? After Irma came through, it started up, again, with little effort. However, to use the manual pull cord, it's not so easy. The front panel appears to block access for the cord. To pull outward at the end where the handle is located is somewhat awkward. The only problem we ran into, is that after running this for about 20 minutes (for use after Irma), power output stopped. The generator motor kept running. But, no electrical power. The data center panel went out at the same time. I disconnected the battery and let it sit over night. The next morning, it worked, again. After about 20 minutes, the electric output stopped, again. At the same time the panel display went out, as well. I called support. Tech said it sounded like the AVR is bad. I have not registered this yet. So, once I register the generator, I can submit a claim, just explaining the same issues I told him. He said a tech will be calling. I should have the option of having a tech replace it (i assume I would have to take it in), or I can have it shipped to me to install. He explained where it goes and the general steps to replace the part. It will probably be quicker to do it myself. Right now, time is important. So, the stars I knocked off are because, of the output failing when I need it. But, if I am able to give it back a star after the part arrives with little delay, I will do that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The generator is great but I need a cover badly. I think it is really sh------. That this company charges so much for this item but short changes by not providing a cover. This item should be in the crate with the generator as part of the purchase. Everyone needs this item. The company is sh-------. on the public by not offering this as part of the purchase.

My new generator showed up as promised in good condition. All parts were in the box, it was easy to assemble (just had to install wheels and feet.) This WGen7500 is to replace a unit I have had since Hurricane Andrew - 1992. Hopefully this will provide me the reliable power my old unit had.

Good overall genny fo a good price

This is a nice mid-level generator that comes at a reasonable price. I bought this for hurricane season in NC. I was realistic in calculating the wattage I would need to endure a power outage (no AC, running genny around three to four hours a day to keep frig and freezer cold) and found this generator to be very highly rated and capable. I'll be installing a transfer switch to avoid using extension cords. Be aware this is not a whole house model. Recognize what you need and purchase accordingly.
