Bought this generator last month. Luckily I didn't have to use it after hurricane Henry didn't knock my power out. Having read alot about generators, I was happy to learn I could hook this up to my house breaker box, and power a certain number of appliances during an outage. Many of my friends told me I bought a great brand name. So I am happy I bought a Westinghouse. Wish I had the duel fuel (gas and propane), so think about that if you purchase one.
The WGen7500 generator is working great, but better battery setup directions should be updated in the documentation. There are two wires that are zip tied together. You need to cut the zip tie and connect the 2 wires. The rest of the setup is fine.
This is a fully featured generator with a large capacity. I like that it is easy starting - either using the battery or the remote start fob. It was easy to assemble, mainly just installing the feet & wheels, adding engine oil & fuel, and hooking up the battery. It has four 120V plugs on the side and will also plug into 220/240V outlet. I bought this primarily to run our well pump, refrigerators, and chest freezer during power outages (which are more frequent now with climate change) but we should be able to run a few lights and keep our phones and computer charged also. We haven't had a power outage since we received it a week ago, but we're ready now.
I bought this before Tropical Storm Henri hit. Fortunately we did not have to use it since the storm took a different track. But I know from testing this generator out that it would of helped us if the need was there.
I was in the market for a new generator and Glad that I purchased this one. It is a solid solid beast and looks built to last. Has many great Features and Extras that came with it.......Wheels, Battery, Oil, Tool kit, Remote Starter Key Fob.
Remote start is an excellent feature. Clear instructions on setup and operation. I was very impressed with the chassis construction, sturdy tubular steel fully encasing it making it very easy to secure outside.
