    • Amazing Generator for Price
Style: 9500W Pattern Name: Generator
This is an excellent generator and an amazing buy. I did some heavy research and found this to be one of the most affordable and well reviewed portable generators of its size range. The additional features including an included wheel kit, battery, and remote start are excellent to have. Assembly was easy, and operation is simple. This will run everything that I need in my home. The only complaint I have is not anything regarding the generator, but regarding the shipping partner. It took about an additional 10 days to receive this item from the original quoted delivery date. Fortunately, Amazon customer service came good for this. ... show more

    • Good gen for the price
Style: 9500W Dual Fuel + CO Sensor Pattern Name: Generator
After three outages in ten months, I bit the bullet and purchased the Westinghouse WGen7500DFc in mid July 2023 from Amazon for $799. The gen arrived a little later in the day than promised but it wasn’t a problem. The driver placed it inside my garage and there was no visible damage to the box. Opening the box, I found everything intact and undamaged. The wheels were easily installed as were the rubber feet. I plan to NOT use gasoline as I own no other gas powered machines other than my car. I am lazy and don’t want the hassle of stabilizing gas, cleaning the float bowl, etc. I have multiple 20# LP tanks on hand. After filling the oil, connecting the battery and connecting the LP tank with the included hose, I pushed the START button and the gen fired right up with no hesitation. I let it run 5 minutes then hit the START button to stop it. It stopped with no issue. I pressed the START button on the key fob and again, it started right up. I let the unit run for 4 hours straight. At various times during the break in period, I added devices to put a load on it as recommended in other reviews. The gen ran smoothly and there were no oil leaks. The next day, I started it with the pull cord and it started in two pulls. After the break in period, I changed the oil and used synthetic 5W30 instead of the supplied 10W30. I want no issues in the dead of winter if needed. So far, I’m very happy with it and can’t wait for an outage! PROS Dual fuel More than enough power for my fridge, freezer and furnace. Delivery inside my garage. Rolls easily using the fold down handle. Oil change was easy. Digital meter tells when service is needed for spark plug, filters, etc. The CO sensor shut down the gen when I tested it with the shed door closed. CONS It’s loud! I have it in a well ventilated shed. It’s heavy. 220# or so The oil drain plug is 12MM not 10MM as indicated in the instructions. There is no crush washer with the oil drain plug as indicated in the instructions. There haven’t been any leaks without it though. MEH The fob. Not sure what the point of the fob is. To use it, you’d have to leave the propane tank valve open or the gasoline valve open, both of which are NO-NOs when the gen is not being used. Ken Koren Rockville, IN ... show more

    • Good choice if you can get it at a low price.
Style: 9500W + CO Sensor Pattern Name: Generator
I purchased the WGen7500c in early Nov 2022 for $458. With tax, it was $494 delivered. At that price, I should probably be jailed for theft. I mention this not to gloat, but to make a point: if you can wait, and watch prices, you can save a lot of money. A word about generator capacity. If your house has a 30-amp connector (NEMA L14-30 twist-lock), then this is the biggest generator you should buy, as a 7,500-watt generator can supply 31.25A at 240V. Anything bigger is just unusable capacity. As for this generator, I’m pretty pleased. It was delivered on time, undamaged, and with a fully charged battery. It started on the first push of the button and ran smoothly. Here are a few specifics, in no particular order: 1. The wheels are not the rubber-tires-on-rims that they appear to be in the photos. They’re all plastic (think kids’ riding toy wheels). They seem sturdy enough for moving the generator in and out of your garage, and they do roll on ball bearings and a thick shoulder bolt axle, but the “tire” is hard plastic; it works but it doesn’t inspire confidence. 2. As others have pointed out, the threaded bosses in the frame where the feet are mounted have somewhat crudely formed threads. Three out of four bolts on mine went in fine, but the fourth was difficult, Here’s a tip: if one of the bolts hangs up partway in, or the thread wont start, put that bolt into the hole from the top and run it all the way through. This will re-form the thread from the opposite direction, making it easier to thread in the correct direction. 3. A wrench is included for assembly but if you have a 10mm socket and an extension, it’ll speed up the process considerably. There’s also a crude but workable spark plug wrench included. 4. The Quick Start Guide says to add oil (included) to the engine “until it’s full,” but doesn’t say how much that takes. Don’t waste your time adding a little at a time and screwing the dipstick/cap in and out to check. The entire bottle puts the oil level about 2/3 up the hash-marks on the dipstick, right where it should be. The supplied funnel is a little too short, making the pour into a two-handed operation. Annoying, but it works. 5. The operating manual is well written and comprehensive. It even includes illustrated directions for how to un-bond neutral from ground. This is important if you’re going to power your house, as a ground-bonded neutral can create problems. Do some online searching for “generator bonded neutral” and decide for yourself if you want to modify your generator; it’s easy to do (you’ll need 7mm and 8mm sockets). One note, however: un-bonding the neutral defeats the GFCI function of the 120V receptacles on the generator. For portable use, you can correct this with a “bonding plug,” which simply has its neutral and ground pins shorted together. Plug it into any receptacle to restore proper GFCI function for all. 6. Like virtually all open-frame generators, this one is noisy. Standing next to it while it’s running is unpleasant. Once you go inside, it’s reduced to a dull roar. Given that it’s an infrequently used emergency tool, it’s bearable. If you’re buying this for camping or to power your RV, buy something else. You won’t be very popular in a campground or RV park if you run this thing for long. 7. The gas tank is big: it takes 6.6 gallons to fill it up. Since your gas can is probably only 5 gal, you’re going to need another one. The tank has a gauge on it, but it doesn’t seem very accurate (at least at the bottom end). Mine didn’t move off of “empty” until I had added more than 2 gallons of fuel. The gauge is far enough away from the fill port that you can’t reach the float arm to adjust it. The obvious problem with a large gas tank is old fuel going bad. Be sure to add fuel stabilizer to the gas. I would also recommend shutting down the generator by turning off the fuel valve and letting the carburetor run dry (1 to 2 minutes), then turn off the battery switch. 8. Overall, build quality seems quite good (apart from the wheels, as noted above). The frame is made from sturdy welded steel tube and the paint is evenly applied. The handle has a nice foam padding on it, and it’s mounted so that it stays put when you raise it up. It feels nice and works well. The front panel is logically laid out and clearly labeled. One niggle: the battery vibrates quite a bit while the generator is running, so I fear for the small spot-welds holding the battery tray to the frame. 9. Output of my unit is pretty good. Unloaded voltage is 242V and it settles right to 240V under load. Frequency is a little off at 62.3Hz, but that’s not far enough out to damage anything. At worst it’ll make motors and line-frequency-dependent clocks run a little fast. A slight engine governor adjustment might fix this, but I haven’t yet investigated if that’s possible (and honestly, I probably won’t bother). To sum up, this is a well designed and solidly built generator with just a few minor negatives. If you have to pay MSRP for it, then it’s overpriced. At $600-$700 it would be a pretty good value. At $500 or less, don’t even hesitate; buy it immediately, before the Amazon algorithm boosts the price again. ... show more

    • Excellent assembly instructions, easy to move and started right up!
Style: 9500W Pattern Name: Generator
The assembly instructions were wonderful, it moves around quite easily, and once I filled it with oil and gas (to do a test run), it started right up! The noise level is to be expected for the type of equipment that it is and it will be outside anyway. Hopefully our first Connecticut storm coming through this evening will not give me reason to use the generator but it is ready if needed! I am hoping that the company behind this item (Westinghouse) has made a reliable and long lasting generator like the other line of products they have made through the years. So far I am very happy with my purchase. If anything changes, I will let you know! ... show more
