Some difficulty setting up.

I had a few minor problems setting up the unit. but I was able to figure it out and got it started. I has a licensed electrician install a transfer switch and tested the unit. It was able to power my furnace, fridge, tv, several small appliance and lights. Hopefully I never need to use it, but I'm ready for an extended power outage.
I researched long and hard before I chose the wGen7500 and I am very happy I made this choice. Compared with other generators I have had in the past, this one is an ace. Easy to assemble and use and with a remote control feature, they do not get any better than this.
I can't really say how good this generator is or how I would compare it to other similar generators. I can say that it looks well made. Assembly was easy and it started with ease. manually, electronically and remotely.
After extensive research and consulting with the electrician that installed the transfer switch, I decided on the wGen7500. It has sufficient power for the whole house (except probably running the oven). The electric start is a very nice feature, and the warranty and life-time available technical support is also a plus. All and all, a very impressive machine for a very reasonable price.
Unit not run yet. Two small problems assembling: Battery connection bolts because of design somewhat hard to thread the nut on due to location. Would have been nice if instructions said how much oil to add with original filling. All it said was "add till full" which required seveal checks to make that determination to avoid over filling. Took the full quart but it would have been nice if it said "dump in the full quart of oil." Perhaps more later after I run the unit. So far,so good.
This generator is quiet, with enough power to run my entire house. I purchased this for emergency use at my home. And I'm very confident. I have only used it to try it out. I will leave another review after our first storm.
