Just received, packaging was in tact but in somewhat rough shape. Looks like generator was laying in its front side sometime during shipment. Some oil on inside of box due to fill plug not being tight; small dent on Westinghouse logo above the meter, but it doesn't look like it will affect anything. Gave it 4 stars only because we haven't run it yet, but the features look good.
Haven't had to use it yet, but so far has been easy to use and set up, and electrician was happy with all the features it has. I like the remote start feature. Now just waiting for the power to go out....
First time set up of generator took about 30 minutes. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Started and ran without any problems. Still need to use under blackout conditions, however I do not anticipate any problems when I do.
Sturdy made. Needed to install wheels, which was easy and took 2 people due to the weight of the machine. Love that it comes with the cart to wheel it on, most other generators you had to purchase that separately. Well-made product.
This model is very easy to operate. I especially like the fact that it is Manual Transfer Switch ready. No additional parts to buy to make it transferable.
I just received my W generator 7000 was excited to get it. I like doing things on my own,this give me more freedom. Meaning I'm a woman I like working on my own ranch ,this gives me the opportunity it has electric start with wireless remote start. so I can be out on my own and don't have to stop go get my husband to pull start... can't wait to try it out..
