I live in a flood prone area and I purchased this unit for a backup for my sump pump.I have started it using electric start button and remote. Also tested the alternator using a table saw and am very pleased. I plan to install a transfer kit to power entire house and am very confident in the performance of this unit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This generator is a beast!it's great looking on the outside-the black and blue finish is very pretty and at night with the different lights lit it's a winner-very easy to assemble wheelkit and it was great to actually get an oil funnel,oil,and various tools as well as a battery charger and user manual push button start works great and the remote key fob is a cool bonus this unit is quieter than my old generator which was half the power so far good gas mileage manual informative and easy to understand altogether a 5 star item!I love it!

Only missing one key feature

Seems all the 5-10KW gas generators for the past decade plus come out of the same place in that they are have the same guts though engine and generator sizes change; only the name plate and front panels seem to vary. My decade old 6500W Champion guts are practically the same as this Westinghouse 7500W. This is a reasonably decent unit and I especially like while in my bed to stop at night and battery start the generator the next morning using with the remote FOB.
The display provides voltage, hertz, total run time, and run time since last started. BUT, it lacks the CRITICAL display of WATTS being drawn. I never know when I am getting close to overloading the generator and end up having my home drop off line throughout the day. Really guys, it NEEDS a watt meter....
My second grip are the two dual 120V GFI outlets. I will likely have to replace them. Using extension cords resulted in the GFIs popping ALL THROUGH the day; even when the load was only a few amps (<1K W)! They are ridiculously sensitive. I was borrowing a 3500W 120V gas generator experiencing NONE of these problems. I got past them by wiring the 240V into my home. My service was cut while doing an electrical expansion in my home. We have been waiting for the electrical inspector now for two weeks! Oregon is trying to be a smaller version of failed California.

I bought this generator after a storm hit causing major damages here in MI. Due to the storm we had power outages consecutively for over a week. This generator has been truly a life saver. It is easy to assemble, powerful and love that it has a remote control. I am very pleased with its performance. Had it running for 8 hours and was able to connect fridge, deep freezer, a small window air conditioner, a tv and a couple of lights. I have peace of mind now in case of a power outage specially in the winter months. I really recommend this product!

I have not had to use the generator yet...no hurricanes so far (I live in Texas). But I am 75 and needed something I did not have to pull to start. My grandson set it up and tried it out...then showed me. It is super easy with the push-button start (and remote). Of course he had to move it, but with wheels is easy for a younger person to do! I love it.
