My old pull start invariably was needed in bad weather. The electric start is a step up. I haven’t had a backup emergency to use it to rate service yet. I am looking forward to receive the bonus generator cover to protect my WGen7500.
I receive my Westinghouse 7500 w generator today, assembled it, read all of the instructions, and it fired right up the first try. We ran it for about 5 minutes and then plugged in our refrigerator, and all went as planned. Great product at a great price. If we have a power outage, I'm confident that our generator will handle all that we can throw at it.
I am a widow on a farm. I found the directions/documentation clear and was able to set it up and get it running by myself. I had difficulty connecting to the transfer switch because my prior generator was 50 amp. That is not your fault but I mention it for others. However, one star deducted for including a battery charger and not a battery tender. You should know that batteries degrade in extreme heat and cold (and we have both in Michigan). With a battery tender you can be sure the generator battery will be ready no matter what the temperature. The charger you included will not be used. I've already connected my own battery tender. Thank you for considering changing this. Thank you for sending me a cover for my generator in exchange for posting this review.
We bought this last November but did not need to use it until a few weeks ago when a storm blew some trees down and we lost power. It worked great to power the majority of our house needs with a transfer switch on our panel. It is easy to move around super easy to start, which is a great feature.
