Excellent Whole House Generator
on January 5, 2021

I bought this a couple of months ago after we experienced a number of power outages in our area of rural NH last winter. I waited to write the review until we'd experienced at least one outage since the purchase. Our first outage lasted approx. 4 hours. Before we started it up to power our house, I contacted the an electrician just to make sure that I understood the WGen7500's grounding was compatible with the grounding on our transfer switch and main panel box. He showed me how to remove the unit's ground (which comes attached to the unit's frame) so that it was grounded through the whole house electrical system. So when the outage occurred, the WGen7500 performed flawlessly. I had started it up a couple of times before the first outage just to make sure I understood how to get it started. Piece of cake. After I'd let it run 10 minutes, I asked my wife if the noise bothered her. (I was running it outside the garage and her home office is just above the garage entrance.) She said she couldn't hear it. Excellent.
Out of the box assembly is very easy. The handle that comes assembled to the frame makes moving it very easy. (I'm 72 yrs. old.) The hard wheels won't go flat.
Our house is approx. 1800 square ft. The WGen7500 powered our furnace, our well pump, refrigerator/freezer and extra mini-freezer, all the lights we needed and outlets. We did not use the stove during the first outage (which occurred after midnight,) but I'm sure the WGen7500 could handle that as well as long as we were judicious with the use of appliances run off of outlets.
I don't plan to use this as a contractor, but I've decided to use one of the extra 20 amp. outlets and connect a second extension cord to a sub panel so that during the next outage, I can keep out internet connection up and running (per my wife's request).

Great Portability and Easy Setup

Just received my new Wgen7500 and within minutes it was ready to run. Added oil, gas and installed legs,wheels, and pushed the start button on remote. It started up immediately. Really like the auto-choke feature that is activated with remote start. Though the unit weighs around 200 lbs it is easy to move because of the wheels and mechanical advantage provided by folding handle.

New generator
on January 5, 2021

Purchased generator to power the essential items. Haven’t run it yet but it arrived as expected. Minor issue with a burr on one of the welds made for a bit of an issue installing one of the wheels but I worked around it.
