Great Generator. The Positive Reviews are True!
By Wolfyjr421
First off, when I was considering generators, Westinghouse wasn't even a consideration because I did not even realize they made them. When I saw Westinghouse, I thought of old appliances in my grandmother's house.
The 7500E model interested me most (@$929) but I wasn't sure about spending a grand to get something I didn't trust. With more research through reviews on Amazon and a number of other sites, I eventually decided that, due to the lack of negative reviews, Westinghouse was about right for me. Although my sights were set on the 7500E, I lucked up on an Amazon warehouse deal on the 6500E for about $650. I just couldn't pass this up.
Bearing in mind that people are 4 times more likely to write a negative review when something doesn't work right versus writing a positive review when things go well, I feel that I can trust this brand of generators.
Now, getting down to what you probably want to see in a review...
Delivery - Delivered on time by CEVA carriers and carrier called 30 mins ahead to ensure I was home. Came in a box truck with 2 men that put the generator exactly where I wanted it.
Setup - Easy as pie! Seriously! Within 30 minutes I was starting the thing up. Comes with everything needed to setup and start (except for the gas). Battery is included and already securely mounted. Only had to connect 1 battery terminal.
Portability - This thing, at 200 pounds, is a hoss to move around without the handles and wheels. Once handle, wheels, and stand were installed, the thing became very portable. The "no-flat" wheels pivot perfectly when using handles to lift and move the generator. My wife could easily move it around aside from a steep incline.
Starting - Once again, smooth and easy. Step by step checks and instructions labeled clearly on the frame make it where anyone with a 3rd grade education should be able to start it. Using the electric start was effortless and using the pull start was much easier than anticipated.
Running - Up and running, I ran it through a tank of gas (which actually ran about 15 hrs under moderate load). I periodically checked outputs and applied different load bearing devices. All well within range. I actually changed the oil (just as precaution for any break-in period metal shavings) and ran it a few hours more. Even at near max load, the engine did not seem to strain very hard. Every stop, I would cut the fuel off so as to clear the carburetor. Battery charging showed a bit high as another review stated but battery never showed any signs of being overcharged.
Noise Level - Not near the noise I expected out of the monster of a motor. Less noisy than most lawnmowers. The noisiest it really got was when I was running it out of fuel and that wasn't, in my opinion, very bad. Vibrations, although present, is really minimal considering that this is a portable generator.
Summary - Yes, this is the brand to buy! Maybe I just got lucky but even buying a supposedly "repackaged" model has impressed me. Although I use Amazon quite a bit, I've never spent such a dollar amount on one item and I felt hesitant. I'm very glad I took the plunge.
If something changes, I will update this review.

Good Unit
By Edwin Velazquez
Love the fact that has 6500wtts but very disappointed that it came with a broken choke level and a broken filter vacuum line. It does not affect the functional part since I am mechanically inclined....Assuming you know how to use the choke and vacuum,,,,,,please….is only for emissions. The sound is like any other generator...."loud".....but seriously who cares when you are in need. Customer service is horrible and local service is hard to get and they are not interested on helping you { called three different service repair companies}, yet the warranty for real bad things is good. I was able to fix mine with very little, but not everyone can do that. For the price I paid 750.00 no tax and no shipping charges......A good buy regardless. Just sharing what to expect from Westinghouse.

Westinghouse Generator
By Dante
I purchased a Westinghouse WH6500E in advance of hurricane Sandy. After the storm hit, I lost power for approximately 8 days. I ran the generator for around 8 to 10 hours each day with no issues. It easily powered up four refrigerators (including two of my neighbors), a hot water heater, a furnace, a TV and a bunch of lights. Sure it could handle a lot more, but I ran out of extension cords. Anyway, from what I can tell, the quality of the generator seems above average. Believe it's made in the USA too! At the right price, I would recommend this generator to my friends (I overpaid for it at a local shop). The battery powered start is a must have, given my wife was able to get it running while I was at work.
