Amazing Generator
I purchased this WGen 7500DF back a few months ago, 2021. I am very happy with the quality and how easy it is to start this generator. You cant go wrong with this purchase. I have tested it out and feel 100% confident that it will get me through any of my power outage challenges in Michigan. I love the dual fuel and electric start. Most people are not talking about the automatic choke, just hit the button and it starts right up.. I give it a 5 star rating..

Easy to assemble, easy to break, won't start
The assembly was easy enough to apply the wheels and add oil. When moving the rig down a short stoop, the weld popped off on one of the wheel mounts (seemed to be tackwelded minimally). After fully charging the battery, I was never able to start the engine, even once. Currently working with customer support on what can be done.

    WGen7500DF Gas Mode Issue
    WGen7500 duel fuel only worked using propane. After doing my own research I figured out that the carburetor wasn't getting fuel because the solenoid below it wasn't opening during start up. So during start up in the gas mode I started to tap on the solenoid to free it. After the second try the generator started.

    Easy setup great features
    Purchased from Amazon and delivery driver asked where we wanted it, bonus (it's heavy). There was minimal assembly and set up, purchase included a quart of (oil to be added). Cool features including remote and push button start. Currently breaking in the generator, but so far 10 out of 10! Next step is setting up home for generator power.

    What a Powerhouse!
    Living in the south with strong storms and tornadoes it was time that we got ourselves a generator. This one definitely fits the bill. It has all the bells and whistle! We're able to power our refrigerator, washer and dryer and keep the phones and other small appliances charged. It rolls beautifully on wheels and can run on either propane or gasoline. The safety gauges give us peace of mind that we're starting and running our generator correctly. It's great to know we'll never be in the dark again during future power outages!

    Great features and great price
    I only bought this generator last week and have not had the opportunity to put it to actually use yet, but it cranked up and ran great straight out of the box!.. I am familiar with Westinghouse products and I know that I will get many years of great service from it!...

    W Gen 7500
    I purchased this generator for use in power outages. It was easy to prepare and set up. I thought highly of the Westinghouse name and made the purchase. Still waiting for a power outage ☺️

    So easy to use!
    I love the fact that I can start and stop my generator from in the house. I live in an area that has frequent outages due to wind and potential fire. I use the generator often and find it very easy to use and maintain.

    Received Damaged
    Haven't ran it yet. But upon opening the box, i noticed some dents and chipped paint. There is also oil residue present. The dents and paint most likely happened during shipping. The oil is my main concern hopefully its nothing and everything runs as supposed to.

    Great product!
    We bought this generator during a huge snow storm that caused us to lose power. It was a lifesaver! It runs great, has a remote start that makes it so easy to turn the generator on and off. I highly recommended this generator.

    Pleased out of the box
    Helped my neighbor get his new unit going - - - was impressed with the features and how quiet the unit is compared to the Generac RS8000E I have. I purchased a WGen7500 as well. Thought I'd pass along a tip learned from my Dad - - you can use the box for a storage dust cover. Look forward to testing this out next time the power goes out - - - assuming it works as advertised over time, I can change the review to 5 stars.

    Easy Start/ Set up
    Once everything is put together it runs fantastic!!! Definitely read the instructions to make sure you add gas, oil, hook up battery, and make sure you turn on the fuel valve on before turning it on!! Tested it out with the electrician and it worked great!

    Just opened and set it up--seems to work well
    Product appears to work as advertised. There was some damage to the fuel tank that appears to have happened at the factory as the roll bars would prevent this type of damage in shipping. This is the reason for the lower rating.

    A Luxury Generator For An Affordable Price!
    I already have a review written on the site I bought this, but I figured I'd write a shorter version here as well. I am one of the lucky ones that received my generator intact and undamaged! The generator starts easily on the first push of the button on the unit, or the button on the remote every time. The generator runs very smooth, and does an excellent job of outputting power. The generator does run loud, 90+ DB right next to the unit, and 72 DB at 50' away in direct line of sight. The generator does weigh 197 pounds dry, and over 200 pounds when filled with oil and gas. While it is technically considered a portable generator, (because it has wheels and handle) the weight of it makes you not want to move it around too much, so I keep mine stationary after its first move to its permanent location. This generator can output 31-AMPS continuous at 240V, and up to 39-AMPS peak at 240V. Additionally, it performs at a total wattage of 7500-WATTS continuous, and 9500-WATTS peak. If you need a generator that can power half of your home, this unit can do it! It comes with 2-duplex 120V outlets, and 1-L14-30 120/240 outlet. Push button electric start, remote electric start, and automatic electric servo choke system, are some of the awesome luxury features you get with this generator. With a 420CC engine, this machine doesn't miss a beat. Nice automotive style muffler design, keeps exhaust sound at bay, but you will here considerable engine noise. To sum it up, this is an awesome generator, I love it, and I highly recommend it 5 out of 5 stars!

    GREAT GENERATOR!
    Bought this Westinghouse dual fuel 7500DF generator and i'm very very happy with it. the licensed electrician that installed the transfer switch tested the generator using gas and propane and everything was good up to specs. Now I have the peace of mind that my family has a back up power generator. hey hurricane Isaias I'm ready!

    Prepared
    I bought the 7500 DF for peace of mind as a homeowner. Transfer switch was installed and the generator arrived right on time. Unboxing, assembly,, trash removal and test run in under an hour with 1 person. Assembly was a breeze and fired up on the first push of the remote button! Powers my entire house no problem!

    Reliable Back-up Power!
    Bought this WGen7500DF just a month ago even though I had been searching for a reliable back-up power for a few months. As soon as it was available I ordered it. Shipment got delayed due to winter conditions. Setup was relatively easy even though the user manual had inconsistent information on numbering parts (the remote pairing button instruction said #17 but it was actually #19 in the picture). So far it has performed as expected but a little noisier than I expected, but acceptable. I haven't tried running it on propane yet. With the planned blackouts in Northeastern California by PG & E it makes sense to get this generator and it makes us sleep better knowing we can keep our essential appliances working.

    Great Generator!
    I bought one two months ago and I have a great experience. Everything arrived OK. Tech information is enough to operate it. Less noisy than other generators. It has the power I need. I used it with gasoline and put up 2 air conditioning (24.000 BTU y 12.000 BTU), a refrigerator, 2 TV and more than 10 light bulb. It works great!. I fully recommend it.
