We purchased the generator to serve as a power source for a food truck in the future, but have been using it to power a 240v TIG welder while doing the buildout. The pushbutton start is pretty remarkable (a single push and the starter will cycle until the generator starts) and the noise level for the power output is really nice. I shopped for months and couldn't find anything quieter that produced 7500 running watts. It also provides remarkably smooth power judging by some of the delicate welding we've been able to do. An inconsistent power supply would really mess things up. The only issue we've had is the data center stopped working, but customer service has been really helpful thus far, responding to e-mails within 2 hours or less. The generator continues to function perfectly otherwise. After months of comparison shopping, it's by far the best bang for your buck at this power level.
I was looking for a generator for my mother that would be easy for her to start. This thing couldn't be any simpler. It runs smooth and isn't as loud as I was expecting. In fact, its much quitter than her 20 year old generator! Before purchasing this generator, I did a lot of a research and this thing has great reviews across many different websites. If you need a solid generator, get this one.
I've had a number of smaller capacity generators that were always a pain to start when utility power went down. The WGen7500 with its push button (and even remote start) is great. I just put it together without problem and it seems to work as advertised. Looking forward to many years of emergency power use.
