Perfect for outdoor events, DIY projects and emergency home backup needs. Compliant with both EPA and CARB standards and offering three years limited warranty plus lifetime technical support.
Powerful
Its low noise level (only 74dBA at 23 feet away) makes this generator perfect for backyard use. At the same time, its 5.7 gallon tank offers 8 hours of run time at 50% load and features Volt Guard surge protection to safeguard appliances and electronics against surges in voltage spikes.
To determine what size generator you require, begin by tallying up all of the devices and appliances you wish to power during an outage and adding up their respective wattages – taking special note to include starting watts which tend to be two to three times greater than running watts. Find a generator that meets or surpasses these numbers – for instance, consider this dual fuel Westinghouse WGen7500DF generator as an economical yet flexible choice.
Compact
Not unlike portable generators sold by big box stores, which are intended for outdoor use, this unit packs quite the punch in such a compact size. With an incredible starting capacity that can start appliances and tools two to three times their running wattage load capacity – ideal for providing backup power during extended or intermittent outages at home!
One of the great things about this generator is its ease of start-up: push a button. That makes it far superior to older models which required manual cranking – both tedious and dangerous! This model remains relatively silent thanks to an oversized noise reduction pulse flo muffler: only 71 decibels when half load.
A key feature of this generator is its 6.6 gallon tank, providing ample run time during an outage for most homes. Furthermore, this model features a built-in fuel gauge to monitor how much gas is left in its tank; and as it’s powered by either gasoline or propane (LPG), for greater versatility and ease.
Size matters when selecting an emergency generator, and determining the wattage of key household devices and equipment can help. Westinghouse also offers an online Wattage Calculator that can assist in selecting an appropriate generator size.
Easy to Move
Generators can be an invaluable backup in case of power outages, helping prevent frozen pipes, spoilt food and basement flooding, and save lives when medical equipment is required for serious conditions. Before purchasing one, however, you must determine the amount of wattage your generator requires.
One way of doing this is to add up all of the wattages used by appliances, lights and other items during an outage and calculate its total wattage usage. Once this figure has been established, you can determine what size generator best meets your needs; ideally it should be slightly larger than your maximum usage so that it lasts as long as necessary without running out of gas.

An emergency gas generator is an intelligent solution for power during disaster or weather emergencies. A generator offers 9,500 peak watts and 7,500 running watts to support appliances and electronics such as lights, refrigerator, sump pump, TV window AC furnace blower, and Cold Start Technology, which helps get it going in cold temperatures. Furthermore, Volt Guard and Low Oil Shutoff help keep engines operating at peak efficiency.
A large 6.6-gallon tank offers up to 11 hours of run time before needing refueling. Plus, with its electric starter and remote you don’t even have to leave home to start it or control its on/off status from up to 160 feet away!
