I recently purchased this generator and it has created a priceless sense of ease. It was easy to learn how to use and a great design. Would highly recommend this generator!
I recently purchased this generator as an upgrade to my old generator. This 7500 is more powerful than my older generator, and when I plugged it into my home, it ran everything well with no lag. Great! I'm ready for the storms!
My only issue is that the instructions of the generator were lacking. When I placed the oil and the gas in the generator it wouldn't start. I checked and re-checked EVERYTHING and it wouldn't work, not even with the pull-start. I thought I got a lemon.
The issue was, was that the battery needed to charge so the electronic start would work. I didn't know this, since I assumed that the battery was charged up and ready to go. You have to wait, like, an hour or so for the battery to charge up. Once you see that little yellow battery light lit, you're ready to go. The instructions do not say this and while this may be obvious to someone more attuned to electronic-start generators, for a newbie like me, it was perplexing and frustrating.
Here's hoping that this generator lasts many years!
This generator was a surprisingly satisfying purchase! The wheels and front legs were easy to attach to the frame. The front legs required a 10mm wrench to tighten the bolts and to my pleasant surprise, a 10mm wrench was included in the tool kit along with a spark plug wrench in a nice fabric pouch. A quart of oil was provided along with a tailor-made funnel to put it into the engine! I charged the battery overnight with the included battery charger.
After reading the manual, I turned on the "RUN" switch and pressed the button on the remote-start key fob and the engine purred to life! Completely effortless!
Kudos to Westinghouse for making a complete package that's easy to use and simple to operate!
