Reviews — Best 7500 Watt Generators for the Money / New Models

As far as value, the WGen7500 series from Westinghouse is at the top of the list but whether or not it’s right for you depends on what your plans are. For the record, Westinghouse has been in business since 1886 so they know a thing or two about making generators, among other things. For 2022, this is one of the best 7500 watt generators for homeowners looking for emergency backup power. It has ‘almost’ everything going for it, including: Fair Price, Quality, Features and Warranty. The one feature it’s lacking is a 50A outlet, so this won’t be the right generator for everyone. It does have a 30A (120/240V), which means it can output a maximum of 7200W to your home or RV.

Westinghouse added a 50A outlet on their 9500W series (WGen9500), which may or may not be more generator than you need.

It’s not just one thing that should determine the generator you buy. It should primarily be based on three things:

All three of these factors determine what’s the “best” generator for you, and only you. Finding the generator that satisfies all of your conditions and requirements will lead you to the best portable generator. I’m here to help you.

There’s no point in paying more for a generator with features you’ll never use and it’s unreliable and poorly made, with parts that are impossible to find. You need the whole package, and it has to be well-made and easy to service locally. The WGen7500 comes in several different models, but more on that later.

Best 7500W Generators / 2022

Here are two good choices if you need a minimum of 7500W of running power. The prices are close enough that its negligible. The main reason you’d buy the Champion 201004, besides the fact that it’s an excellent generator, is because you want the benefits that a 50A outlet gives you. You’ll be able to power your 240V appliances, and your central AC by connecting with the 50A.

And the Powermate PM9400E only has a 30A outlet, but it does have a 420cc Generac engine at the heart of it so you know it’ll be reliable. Incidentally, did you know that Generac Power Systems Inc. owns the POWERMATE brand? Well, they do.

Fact : A 7500W generator can run the following simultaneously : Water heater, fan heater, microwave, fridge (or freezer), washing machine, TV and five 75 watt light-bulbs. This would require a generator with 10,000W of starting (peak) power and 7500W or running (rated) power. Read : What can a 7500W generator run?

Now, for something a little different. 2022 is a pivotal year for the direction of portable generators as inverter generators are now powerful enough to compete with old-school gas generators. I personally recommend buying an inverter type because it allows you to run anything you want, with no chance of causing damage (IE. CPAP, Laptop).

These are two of the biggest pure sine wave generators available today and the best 7600W inverters for the money. Inverters are much quieter than gas. Trust me on this, it makes a big difference to your sanity and your neighbors won’t hate you. The only drawback is they’re almost twice the cost of a dirty gas generator. I know, they’re expensive. Just buy what you can afford, but they’re much better in every way.

Does the Generator Brand Matter?

A brand says a lot about a generator even before you look at the specifics. The reputation of a brand is important, absolutely essential, in my humble opinion. We wrote this guide to help you determine the best 7500 watt generator for your power needs, whether for emergency backup when the lights go out, for the jobsite, RV, a natural disaster or whatever else you need it for.

Brand does matter because it represents a certain standard the brand stands for and customers expect. The reputation of an established brand like Honda, Champion or Westinghouse means everything to the company and they work hard to maintain a certain level of generator reliability, safety, quality control and customer support. In other words, reputable brands have something to lose if too many customers receive defective units or if they’re treated poorly by support staff.

On the other hand, a new brand has nothing to lose as the expectations are low. Also, a new brand doesn’t have the infrastructure of the big brands and they haven’t sold enough units to justify having their parts distributed throughout the country. These things take time and it only matters if they intend to stick around for the long-term. I see a lot of fly-by-night brands that I know won’t be around in two years. You wan to avoid buying from those type of brands, regardless of who inexpensive they might be.

DUROMAX XP10000HX

Best Rugged, Heavy-Duty 8000W generator / Dual-Fuel

FEATURES:

• Control center with a digital multi-meter, push-button start and a front-facing fuel interface. Displays voltage, frequency, total hours run and hours until the recommended maintenance
• Duromax CO Alert technology: will automatically shut down the generator if harmful levels of carbon monoxide is detected

• ndividual circuit breakers, idle control and a low oil sensor

A Few Words / DuroMax XP10000HX

The DuroMax XP10000HX gives you a little more than 7500W; you get 8000W of running power and 10KW to start. This is another dual-fuel and there’s no option to buy gas only. The HX series is a tougher grade of generator, built for anything, including the jobsite.

This is more expensive than most other gas generators because of the extra durability and you get all of the bells and whistles rarely found in one generator. All copper windings are much better than the standard aluminum. Copper is a more durable material, with minimal flex when heated. If you find this on sale, you won’t regret buying it. Definitely deserves to be in the conversation for the best 8000W generator.

Life After the Pandemic / Are We at “Normal” Yet?

It’s 2022 the time of writing this and we’ve all been through a lot over the past couple years with the pandemic and now the economy is on the verge of a recession. Seriously, when will this nightmare end? COVID19 has been ore than enough for any of us. It’s been heartbreaking to experience this chapter of our lives.

This has been a difficult time for most of us. I’ve personally struggled with the isolation that went on far too long. I’m still working on my recovery and figuring out what the new “normal” is nowadays. Obviously you’re here to find yourself backup power for some reason. One thing I know for certain is that portable power will never go out of style. It’s one of the few things you can buy that you know you’ll be happy you spend the money someday. Let’s take a closer look at the Westinghouse 7500W — a favorite with homeowners.

You can read our separate in-depth review of the dual-fuel Westinghouse WGEN7500DF — Customers absolutely love the value and reliability inherent in these Westinghouse generators, any model, not just the 7500W.

The best indicator of a quality generator is what is the average opinion of buying customers. Never listen to the opinion of one; it’s not the gospel, or the consensus —

Westinghouse WGen7500c / ST Switch Ready

Best VALUE 7500W Generator

This Dual-fuel from Westinghouse is the best value as far as 7500 watt generators go. For a little extra money over a standard single fuel generator, you get the ability to use propane, which you can store indefinitely. Gas spoils within a year (with fuel stabilizers), so having a secondary option of using propane will be priceless after a disaster, emergency or a massive power outage.

FEATURES:

OVERVIEW / WGen7500 Series

In all honesty, my only legitimate complaint is that it doesn’t have a 50A outlet for maximum power output. Ultimately, you know what you need to run. It’s always better to have more power than you need and run the generator at 50% to 75% maximum capacity to keep the generator quieter, plus it will extend its life over the long-term. Also, a generator is less fuel efficient the closer you run it to 100% load.

Westinghouse ST Switch / Convenient Backup System

Besides Westinghouse quality, proprietary technology, and overall reliability that you can’t get with any other brand, Westinghouse has a unique simplified backup power system that allows you to simply plug in your Generator into the Westinghouse ST Switch and if the power goes out, it will automatically output power to keep whatever is plugged in to the device. The ST Switch is plug-and-play. You don’t need an electrician.

You can still connect your generator to your home via a transfer switch with the 30A outlet but the ST Switch makes it easy for anyone to have instant backup power without the need to bring in an electrician. It’s limited to 20A appliances at a maximum of 2400W. Either way, I love it. I think it’s a brilliant idea and allows you to use it anywhere you have appliances or devices you want to make sure never run out of power, such as you: Sump Pump, Fridge, furnace, etc (Read our full review)

A Wide Range of Features & Sizes from Westinghouse

This Westinghouse is available in several different models : Either as a gas-only model (WGen7500c), a dual-fuel (WGen7500DF), or with or without carbon monoxide monitoring. The choice is yours. The new models have CO monitoring but I expect those models will disappear once they are sold out. As I write this all models are still available. Personally, I think everybody should have CO monitoring on their generator as it may save your life, or the life of someone you love and there’s no price on that. It’s not much more but it’s one of the few things that I’m not shy telling people to spend the money on. Just do it, no matter where you buy your generator.

The WGen7500c provides 7500W of running power and 9500 watts of starting power. It’s designed for emergency home backup, your travel trailer or even for a jobsite. It has a 30A outlet, and GFCI 120V outlets for safety. Basically, it’s ready to be connected to your home transfer switch but you can also buy an adapter for any outlet.

It’s CARB compliant, has a remote start fob, low oil shutdown, and more. The duel-fuel version (WGEN7500DFc) gives you more fuel options, especially during a natural disaster or emergency when fuel can be scarce. Propane can be stored indefinitely and gas is much more difficult to store.

I recommend a dual fuel because it gives you more flexibility. Propane is something you an easily stock up on, especially with a tank in your yard. Less risk and no maintenance. Keep it full and use it when you need it. Gas is a little more challenging, and like milk, gas expires.

Generators — The Sizing Problem

Two of the most common questions consumers have about generators are : What is a generator? and, what size generator do I need? — but for this article, you probably want to know : how much can a 7500W generator run?

The internet provides us with a variety of complicated answers to such an innocent question. Sometimes it’s so hard to translate all the technical terms into simple practical knowledge. That is the reason why most people do not even bother to find out the core meaning of the word ‘generator’.

What is a Generator?

A generator is a device that is designed to produce electricity. How? A simple way of saying it would be, a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Simple? No? Well then a little more information will help.

---

What is mechanical energy?
Every object that is in motion has a certain amount of energy. This is called mechanical energy. It is associated both with position of the object as well as the motion at which it is traveling.

As we dwell into the functioning a generator, you will get a better understanding of how it works.

How does a generator work? — A generator uses the simple principle that a man called Michael Faraday discovered, all the way back in 1831. He called this principle, the ‘Principle of electromagnetic induction’.

Video | Consumer Reports Generator Guide

Sounds complicated? Let’s simplify it.

First things first… Let’s clarify what an electric current really is. The movement or flow of electric charges is called electric current. This is the same current that powers devices in your home.

The next thing we need to understand is what an electric conductor is.

Any device that allows electric charges to flow through it is called an electric conductor. Those devices which do not allow the current to flow through it easily are called bad conductors. Good conductors allow the electric current to move through them easily.

Why is this important? You will understand why in a moment.

Faraday discovered that if you moved an electric conductor (a wire), through a magnetic field electric charges would begin to flow through the wire.

This principle forms the basis on which generators were designed and made. That being said, you will imagine huge magnets and large lengths of wire. Today’s generators however come in relatively compact sizes compared to the initial ones. Each generator has a different size and a different output.

---

Choosing A Generator Based On Size

Choosing the right sized generator is very important. This is simply because, the generator needs to support your electricity requirements. If your generator is too small, chances are you will be putting a high load of stress on the device. This means that the generator will have potential malfunctions and your entire maintenance costs will also increase.

Aside from this, a wrong sized generator can also adversely affect the devices that it is supplying power to. This means that you will have frequent equipment failures. Inadvertently, your expenditure will also rise.

Before we start talking about how to choose the right size, it is prudent that we understand what are the different ranges of generators that are available in the market.

Examples of how many watts it takes to run electrical devices:

Generators can be broadly divided based on the place where they are used. Residential generators have capacities which range from 5kW to 50kW. Commercial generators on the other hand, are much larger. These have capacities which range from 50kW to over 3 Megawatts.

Many people believe that a small generator will do the job. The reason that people give for this rationale is that they do not use the generator all the time. This is in fact a very popular myth and it is advisable not to follow the same line of thought. Why?

The size of the generator does not depend upon the duration of it’s use. It however depends on how much power the device is required to provide. By under sizing the device, you put undue load on it as well as all the equipment it supplies. In this case remember that having more power is always better than having less power.

What Size Generator do I Need?

If you need to calculate on your own, there are certain things that you must keep in mind.

The first thing that you need to know is your requirements. Another way to phrase this is… How much power do you need your generator to supply? To know this you need to make a list of the following things:

• The items that will be powered by the new generator
• The wattage of each item both at the starting point as well as when the device is on.
• The final calculation of the power required to be supplied in KVA or kW

Most people will wonder how to get the wattage of each item. This information is usually written on a plate on the concerned device. If it isn’t, then check the manual. If by some chance you have misplaced the manual, type the model number on the any search engine on the internet and you will get the required details.

Calculating the wattage required is complicated and time consuming. More importantly, you cannot afford to get your calculations wrong. Use the following interactive wattage calculator (from Westinghouse) to determine the right size generator for your needs. Don’t skip this part!

Let’s take a quick glance at some generators that have gained popularity over the last few years.

Additional Generator Sizing Resources (wattage calculator):

• Briggs & Stratton Generator Guide
• Generac wattage calculator
• Honda Generator Guide
• Yamaha Generator Guide

For full details on generator sizing I recommend reading our comprehensive article entitled: How Big of A Generator Do I Need? This goes into great detail on how to select the right size generator. It truly is important. There’s no sense in spending money on a generator that won’t handle all the electrical devices you plan on powering. Although, we recommend buying a slightly larger generator than you think you need because it’s better to have too much power than not enough.

A 7500 watt generator is an excellent size for most homeowners because it provides more than enough power to run a wide range of home devices.

 Overview | Westinghouse WH7500E | 7500 Watt Generator

The Westinghouse WH7500E is designed to be a portable generator. The designers have not cut corners when designing this particular model. The WH7500E has easily made it’s way to the list of the top five portable generators. Let us take a look at why this model is so special.

This model is fitted with a particularly heavy duty engine. It even comes with cast iron cylinder sleeves, forged pistons and connecting rods. Got a little lost in the technical jargon did you? The multitude of words simply meant that the WH7500E has an engine which is durable.

It doesn’t come as surprise when Westinghouse claims that this model generates a lot of electricity. The WH7500E generates around 9000 surge watts and 7500 running watts. This is something that you may want to note down. After all, it is one of the main criteria that you should check before deciding on the model you want to buy.

The WH7500E has an inbuilt voltage control feature. This makes this generator relatively stable compared to others. It also ensures a high quality electrical output which is safe for your devices to use.

This generator boasts of fantastic run-time. Most of the generator models run for eight to ten hours at half load. What does that mean? It means that once you fill the generator up with fuel, it will take the generator eight to ten hours to use half of the fuel in the tank. The WH7500E has a distinct advantage here. It can last for twelve to thirteen hours on half tank.

The reduced usage of fuel means that the WH7500E is both efficient and more environment friendly as compared to other models.

How does the generator start? Many of the older generators require to be hand cranked. This means that you have to spend some time and a considerable amount of effort and energy to get them started. The WH7500E has a distinct advantage here. It has an electric start option which makes it easy and convenient to use.

Another important feature that we look at is the noise level. The WH7500E comes with an oversized noise reduction pulse flo muffler. This helps reduce the sound output to as low as 71 decibels. This is extremely impressive given the fact that it is a many 5000 watt generators are usually much louder.

Though the device is definitely not light, it is surprisingly compact. The measurements of the device are 27 inches in length, 22 inches in height and 20.5 inches in breadth. This will give you a rough idea of how big the WH7500E is. Though the weight makes portability an issue, the device comes with it’s own wheel kit and collapsible wheelbarrow handles.

**If you need a smaller generator (and cheaper), consider the Westinghouse iGen4200 (read our review) generator.

 

Features (iGen4200) :

• 5500 Running Watts and 6850 Peak Watts; Recoil Start; Up to 20 Hours of Run Time on a 6.6 Gallon Fuel Tank with Fuel Gauge; Hour Meter; Oil Capacity – 1.1L

Is a 7500 Generator the Correct Size for You?

The brief overview of the above three different generators helps us understand that though each device has it’s own engine and own mechanism, the end product is always electricity. The devices can be compared with each other based on the amount of electricity that they provide. Some people also like to compare noise levels. Noise levels are important because you don’t want a noisy generator hammering out a tune next to your backdoor.

Choosing a generator may seem difficult. With an expert appraisal of your house and electricity needs, the choices get narrowed down considerably. The rule of thumb is… Less is never the best!

Overview | GP7500E | 7500 Watt Generator

The Generac GP7500E is another great device. It packs a power output of 7500 watts and has a surge power of up to 9375 watts. What does this mean for us? It means that the Generac GP7500E can easily power a small home. Is that all that the Generac GP7500E has to offer? Let’s take a look at the model to find out!

The Generac GP7500E is powered by a 420cc OHV engine. This engine runs at 3600 rpm. This is what gives the Generac GP7500E the ability to produce so much electricity.

The heavy duty hardened steel tube used in the engine makes it extremely durable.

This is a gas portable generator. It can run straight through the night.

This particular model offers two start options. One is the conventional recoil start system and the second is the more advanced electrical start system. This means that you can choose whichever method makes you more comfortable. The electrical start system uses a 12V 10AH lead battery.

The model unfortunately does not come with a DC plug. Luckily it offers you a variety of options in terms of AC outlets. Make sure you confirm which one is best suited for you before you install this device.

Another interesting feature that has been incorporated in this model is the splash lubricant system. In addition to this, the model also comes with a low-oil shut down feature. This means that the Generac GP7500E will automatically shut down the moment it senses that there is less amount of oil in it’s system. This can save you a lot of maintenance costs which can be incurred if you do not regularly top up the oil.

Watch this Insightful Video

Like the WH7500E, the Generac GP7500E also has a twelve hour half tank time. This makes it energy efficient and more environment friendly than other models.

The Generac GP7500E comes equipped with an hour meter. This meter lets you know how much time you have between each maintenance check. Regular maintenance checks ensure that the device functions optimally.

It uses low tone mufflers to reduce the noise that it produces.
