When our power went out during hurricane Beryl, we scrambled to find any generator from a nearby store. We stumbled upon this model as the last one available, and we are so glad we did. This unit is so easy to get running from the very start. Including some starter oil in the box was very handy. The documentation explained everything I needed to know, and the startup procedure is dead simple. Changing the oil at the required intervals is pretty painless. The power output is consistent and plenty for our needs. We had a refrigerator, chest freezer, portable 6000BTU AC unit, and some random chargers plugged into it all at once, and we had plenty of Wattage left to spare. I think we'll consider getting an interconnect to our home power system and run it that way if we want in the future. We are so glad we stumbled upon this generator, and we would happily recommend it to anyone!
I was able to get the generator two days before the storm hit here in Houston (Beryl). My son and I were able to put it together following the direction without any problems We ran the generator for one full day without any issues. Best purchase I ever made.
I don’t know much about generators, but this one seems pretty amazing. Having no faith that I could manually start a generator I opted for the electronic start and it does not disappoint. The key fob is a bonus for sure, but not entirely necessary. It was easy to set up and start up with no trouble. Right off the bat, I went to put the feet on and one of the welds was misaligned. It took me a good while to chisel it out. Needless to say that was disappointing. Other than that, I am very satisfied with my purchase and still feel it deserves five stars.
The Westinghouse generator 7500/9500w is awesome. We purchased it after a Hurricane hit our town the other day and we are very pleased with this product. I am currently using it to plug up my deep freezer, fans, lamp, cell phones ,tv and portable air conditioner!
I ordered this big boy for my elderly dad, it has kept the fridge running along with 3 fans , phones charged and we connect the electrical range as needed. It took a day for us to figure out how to enable the auto remote control. Luckily my cousin came over to help and you have to connect the battery it has to them be able to enable the auto remote control start which was one of the reasons o went with this generator. My dad would not be able to do the traditional pull plug to get it started, heck I could not even get mine going during the last hurricane at my house, I had to get help from my neighbors. The only thing is this baby is a gas quencher so keep that in mind get more than one big gas tanks for back up. We had a 5 and 2.5 gas tanks that we are having to fill up daily. I am so happy after the tornado I made this purchase for my dad so we were ready for Beryl. Still waiting for power to be restored right now but thanks to this big boy he is as comfortable as can be for now.
