Fantastic genny!
Decided to buy this based on fantastic reviews because I want to be prepared for the really bad weather we can get in the NE area, especially during Winter. It's a great price and arrived as promised in pristine condition.Easy to unbox and minor assembly of pressure pads and pretty substantial wheels. Instruction manual is easy to follow; and the genny comes with the attachment for using propane which is really appreciated.Has plenty of power to run my furnace, living room outlets, kitchen outlets and upstairs bathroom and sump pump (the transfer switch kit has 6 circuits). Started first time using propane (my preferred fuel). Noise level is what one should expect from a portable generator (it's not quiet). It also comes with a trickle charger for the battery and a quart of oil to get you started + a funnel! It even has a remote starter fob for convenience!I highly recommend this unit, and it will provide our family with peace of mind in the event of future outages.

Great functionality, easy to use
Deploying the generator out of the box was easy, just 4 parts to attach (tools where included), instructions very clear and easy to understand and initial start up a breeze. The unit appears to be well made, almost no plastic parts with that said, unit weights 194lbs so be aware when first receiving it. Runs great with lots of power, electric and remote start are great to have. Main panel well labeled and easy to understand.

Good Product
I sold my other generator and bought this after using a friend’s Westinghouse DF. I found it easy to use, reliable. Love the dual fuel feature and the electric starter. We bought the 7500DF. I recommend it.

Works, but a few scary moments
It arrived a few hours early and uncrating it was easy. The only things you need are a utility knife to open the box and some gasoline; everything else, including tools and oil, is included in the box. There isn't much assembly and the directions are clear enough except for one point I'll get to. The manual is printed in a large enough font to actually read it - a big point with me.There were two minor glitches, which is why it gets 4 stars.One of the holes tapped for a bolt (which holds the rubber feet on) wasn't tapped properly, so the bolt refused to go all the way in and is a little crooked. This won't affect the running of the generator - it's just a minor fit and finish thing.And second, once it's assembled, the oil is in (they even include a long neck funnel, which is handy because the oil port is tucked well inside the frame) and has some gas, you pair the remote starter (slightly fussy process) and fire it up. It starts without a problem.And then no electricity is present at the AC ports and you want to scream. And the manual is not much help. Arrrgh!The trick: The outlets are GFCI outlets and for whatever reason, both outlets were tripped out of the box. The reset button is on the outlet as they usually are, but are black on black and not as obvious as you'd like. Push them for a moment and small LEDs on the receptacles light up green, and you're good to go.Things to know - the included battery looks to be a lead/acid model, which means you'll be replacing it every few years. I wish they'd gone with a lithium for something this critical, but it is what it is.The unit can tale synthetic 5w30, but it ships with generic 10w30 - if you're going to use it in very cold weather, consider your choices.Importantly, the remote starter only works if the battery is hooked up and turned on. When it's turned on, a little light glows to tell you the battery is good, which means if you leave it on, the battery must eventually die. So your choices are to keep it off, and then trudge out into the blizzard to start it, or leave it on and keep it plugged into a battery charger, which if you're like me, you don't have a power outlet in your generator tent, so that won't work. The solution is to plug the battery charger into a generator outlet, and run the generator every couple months for 30 minutes or so, so the battery stays charged. You should run a generator periodically anyway, so this is the right solution, but it's important not to forget [see edit below.] The unit has a pull-to-start for when you mess up.Why the outlets are black, with a black-on-black reset button, when it's likely to be dark out when you need to fuss with the generator, I do not know. Any other colors would have been better. But other than that, this appears to be a well thought out unit with all the right stuff included. This would be 4.5 stars if I could. I will, of course, update the review if it fails to deliver power anytime in the next 20 years.EDIT: I start the generator once every month. This January, the remote start failed and it look a lot of manual pulls to get it going. The problem is the battery; if you leave it switched on (you must, for the remote start to work) and the weather is cold, the battery gets much too weak to start the generator. And I didn't like how many manual pulls it took to get it started. 10+. It ran fine once started. My workaround is to run an extension cord out to the generator tent, and plug the battery charger and a little electric space heater in before storms arrive. If I do that for a few hours, the remote start works. Of course, power can go out with no warning, so I'm resigned to the fact that at some point I'll be doing manual starts on the thing. Older folk take note; it takes a good number of hefty pulls.4 stars, and if it ever fails while running it will go to 1 star.

Runs Great!
We purchased this generator after a Tropical Storm hit our community. We lost power for 7 days. The generator came as it said it would on time. It had all the necessary equipment needed to start it up, with the exception of the 30 amp cord. It started right up once the oil and gas was put in and it ran great. It was loud but it ran perfectly. We liked the fact that it has the larger fuel tank so we didn’t have to fill it as often. It was very easy to use even thought it was quite heavy to move. The large wheels did help in moving it. Great purchase for what we needed. We would recommend it.

Compact and great for sensitive electronics
Ideal generator for back-up power of sensitive electronics and appliances. Great open design for easy access to components and quiet operation compared to non-invertor generators. Even though it's easy starting with the pull cord, the only issue experienced has been with continuous use of the supplied charging cord the battery failed with-in months. Overall excellent compact design and easy to use.

Awesome Generator
I am currently on day 5 with this generator after Hurricane Milton in Florida. I am running my whole house including the A/C. Now, I can't use the oven and A/C at the same time, but if I click off the A/C for a little bit, I can use the oven/range or the clothes dryer. I've been using about 7-8 gallons of gas per day. The eco-mode makes it quieter and saves gas. The electric start is nice. Delivery was quick and easy - it arrived on my front porch in a box. Assembly was as simple as putting the wheels on, adding oil, and connecting the battery. I chose this generator for several reasons (size, portability, inverter, 50amp outlet, and electric start). This is my 4th generator... After every storm, I think I need to get a bigger one. Very glad that I chose this one. I can use my lights and fridge and I have hot water for showers. It is a bit loud, but that is a small price to pay for the benefits.

Amazing!
The generator came a little later than promised, but everything was made good by the shipper. As for the actual generator and how it runs, it was a dream to start! The remote is a great function, although I wish I had longer propane lines. Great purchase, not a drop of regret!

Awesome so far
Power went out the other day, I didn’t even have oil or gas in it yet. Took me about 5 minutes to get it setup and running. Love the remote, it was raining out, when power came back on didn’t have to go outside to turn it off,
