Purchased this after a huge ice storm in preparation for the next power outage. We haven't had to use it but still start it up occasionally. Love the remote start. We have peace of mind knowing we have this, if it's needed.
Received this generator as a Christmas gift. Pretty simple to set up out of the box. Had an issue on initial start up. You need to add much more oil than what is described in the instructions to it fire it up the first time, and then add some more following initial firing. Had an electrician hook up a transfer switch to the house, and it has enough power to run everything on the panel except the HVAC. I'll consider that a win!
Purchased a couple of weeks ago. Easy to assemble. Started up for the first time today. Easy to start and operate. Not as loud as I assumed it would be. Smartly constructed. I am very happy with my purchase.
Very strong generator! Will run my entire house during outages (except for 220v circuits). That's really important to me since several of the 2020 hurricanes knocked lots of trees down on power lines 200 miles inland from landfall. Now we're facing a week of winter storm warnings with freezing rain. I added oil and gas to the new generator and pressed the Start button. The WGen 7500 started instantly and settled into a smooth idle speed. Bring on the weather! I basically had no problems with my first earlier, but otherwise identical, WGen 7500. I was impressed with the smooth power flow that easily satisfied my electronics. BUT, word to the wise: The Owners Manual quite clearly says "Check oil level before starting." This is NOT a suggestion! I will certainly do so with my new replacement. I expect it to last much more than the five years of flawless use I got from the first one. And with no holes in the crankcase... Lol
