I spent weeks reading reviews and researching generators and finally settled on the WGEN7500 for ease of use, reliability, warranty and fuel efficiency. Started it up and was pleasantly surprised that it's also a bit quieter than I'd expected. Also fairly easy to move around despite the weight. Very happy with this purchase so far.
Purchased as a backup generator for occasional power outages. Item came in perfect condition and was delivered right to my garage door. Unboxing and assembly was complete in only 15 minutes. Directions were easy to read and well written. After adding oil and fuel, I turned the fuel valve on and pushed the start button. The generator started instantly to my surprise! This generator is very quiet compared to the 3,000 watt generator I was upgrading from. There has definitely been a lot of work put into the exhaust system for noise suppression and it shows. The vast majority of the sound comes from the engine and not the exhaust. The integral hour meter/volt meter is very helpful for determining when maintenance is required. More accurate than guessing how much run time has passed. Overall I feel confident that the wgen750 is one of the top generators on the market. The 3 year warranty shows exactly how much Westinghouse believes in their product. Most manufacturers offer only a 1 year warranty. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and recommend this exact model to my friends when they are looking to purchase a generator. You simply can't go wrong with a good quality product that is offered for a fair price!
It seems relatively quiet running compared to other portables I've been around and very quick to start. I plan to use it as a residential back-up in the event of a weather or attack outage, or to do odd jobs where power isn't available.
