Asked by Lou February 17, 20212
AnswersYou have to calculate how much amperage each appliance uses. The WGEN 7500 has a 30 amp breaker and if you exceed 30 amp the breaker will trip letting you know that there is too much load on the generator. Each appliance has a tag or manual that tell you the amperage.

Asked by KC February 3, 20212
AnswersYou did not specify if you are having trouble starting with gas or LP? If you are having trouble starting using gasoline I would recommend using fresh non ethanol gasoline if it is available in your area, ethanol gasoline that has been sitting for a while goes bad quickly and can cause all sorts of issues with the carburetor. There are many factors that may be causing hard starts, stale fuel, ambient temp, mis-adjusted choke, altitude just to name a few. My suggestion would be to call Westinghouse tech support and see if they can help you troubleshoot the issue. Good Luck!

Asked by BC January 16, 20211
AnswerThe battery indicator light being illuminated indicates that the battery is connected and providing power to the electronics. It is normal that the light is not illuminating when the charging cord is plugged in, as this is not the function of the light. Please be assured that this does not mean the charging cord is not working.

Best price for the KWHs
I like this generator because it comes with everything to run the generator, including wheels and spark plug wrenches, and even funnels. I first considered buying a cheaper one at a cheap tool shop, but even after the other generator's discount this Westing House one seemed cost-effectively better because I would have to buy a wheel kit and battery separately if I had bought the cheaper one. That is, it wasn't actually cheaper. Plus, the WGEN9500 comes with several wonderful features, including the remote starting functionality.
One thing, the remote starter key fob was tied to the pull cord (for manual starting) when it was delivered. I couldn't find it at first because I thought I would find it in the manual packet or the accessary box.
When you assemble the wheels and feet, see the attached pictures. It would be easier if you open the box from the bottom and attach one wheel and the 2 feet first. Then, stick in some pieces of lumber under the generator. This will help support the generator while you attach the other wheel without leaving scratches on the frame.

Awesome Remote start keyfob
I bought this a couple of months ago in order to prepare for the winter. I’ve only had to use it once but I love it especially the remote start capability and it’s got 50 amp plug instead of just a 30. Awesome purchase I just love it. Getting ready for spring storms which can bring power outages. But I am ready!

Great and helpful generator
Easy to unbox and assemble. Remote start works great and is very convenient. Well designed and well built, starts first try. I knew it was time to get a portable generator. I did a lot of research and the Westinghouse WGen9500 generator had the best reviews

Outstanding Generator
The Generator arrived at my residence as advertised. Everything was included for easy set up. Once the generator was set up, it fired up with a push of a button. That electric start is outstanding. I am very pleased with the remote start key fob and the included battery charger. Outstanding value, very pleased with my purchase.
