Description

The heart of the Westinghouse iGen2200 is a gasoline-powered 80 cc Westinghouse OHV 4-stroke engine. It has a 120V output and a running power of 1,800W and a peak power of 2,200W. Also, because it can work in parallel (but doesn’t come with a Westinghouse WHPC Parallel Cord), this power can be doubled if it is connected to another similar or compatible unit. The noise level of the inverter generator is set at 52 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a refrigerator). It has a pull-start mechanism, which is a common way to start a motor. With a full tank, the iGen2200 can run for up to 12 hours, thanks to its 1.14-gallon fuel tank (fuel consumption is approximately 0.1 GPH). The iGen2200 makes a clean sine wave with a Total Harmonic Distortion of less than 3%, so it’s safe to plug sensitive electronics into AC outlets (THD).

Outlets

The control panel has 2 AC outlets for the following: Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R). It also has 2 DC outlets: there are two 5V USB ports that make it easy to charge devices like cell phones or tablets.

Features

Several lights let you know when the generator is ready, when it is overloaded, and when it doesn’t have enough oil. From a safety point of view, the product has an automatic shut-off for low oil and an overload protection (circuit breaker), so you can use it without worrying. The Westinghouse iGen2200 comes with the usual paperwork and an owner’s manual , which lets you start it right away. It also comes with oil, a funnel, and a set of tools. You can also buy a storage cover that is made by the company.

Mobility

The Westinghouse iGen2200 looks better than a typical open frame generator because it has a closed inverter generator (L19.8 x W11.4 x H17.9 in). The design shown here is in line with the latest trends and is great for easy and fun use. The iGen2200 is a portable generator that weighs only 46.3 pounds. The device is easy for one person to move, so its power can be used while on the go. Its case has a handle that makes it easy to carry. This makes it even more convenient.

Description

The Westinghouse iGen2200c has an 80cc Westinghouse OHV 4-stroke engine that puts out 120V, uses gasoline, and puts out 1,800W while running and 2,200W at its peak. Also, because it can work in parallel (but doesn’t come with a Westinghouse WHPC Parallel Cord), this power can be doubled if it is connected to another similar or compatible unit. This inverter generator has a noise rating of 52 dBA, which is just a little louder than rain. It starts up with a simple pull-start mechanism. Due to its 1.14 gallon fuel capacity, the iGen2200c can run for up to 12 hours on a full tank. It uses about 0.1 GPH of fuel per hour. The iGen2200c makes a clean sine wave with a Total Harmonic Distortion of less than 3%, so it’s safe to plug sensitive electronics into AC outlets (THD).

Outlets

The control panel has the following two AC outlets: duplex 120V 20A (5-20R). It also has 2 DC outlets: two 5V USB ports (USB-A) that make it easy to charge devices like cell phones or tablets.

Features

The lights on the device will show if the generator is too busy, if the oil level is too low, or if it is ready. In terms of safety, the generator can be used without worry because it has a circuit breaker for overheating and an automatic shut-off when the oil level gets too low. It also has a sensor for carbon monoxide. This sensor is meant to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in the air while the generator is running. If the generator isn’t set up right and carbon monoxide levels get too high, the generator will turn off by itself. It’s a nice extra safety measure, but don’t forget to take your generator outside at all times. The Westinghouse iGen2200c comes with a funnel, oil, and a tool kit, as well as the usual documentation and an owner’s manual to get you up and running quickly. You can also buy a storage cover that is made by the company.

Mobility

The Westinghouse iGen2200c is an inverter generator, and its closed design (L19.8 x W11.4 x H17.9 in) makes it look better than traditional devices with open frames. The goal of this modern design is to give recreational users the best way to get power. The iGen2200c is called a lightweight portable generator because it only weighs 47.4 lbs. A single person should be able to move it around easily and get power wherever they go. It can also be carried easily thanks to a handle that is built into the case. This makes it even more convenient.

Description

The gasoline-powered Yamaha MZ80 OHV 4-stroke engine is at the heart of the Yamaha EF2200iS. It has a 120V output and a running power of 1,800W and a peak power of 2,200W. Also, since it can work in parallel (but doesn’t come with a Twin Tech cable), its power can be doubled by connecting it to a second unit that works with it. The noise level of the inverter generator is set at 57 dBA (lower decibel levels than rain). It uses a simple, traditional pull-start mechanism to get going. Yamaha’s Smart ThrottleTM is built into this generator. This load-sensing feature automatically changes the speed of the engine to match how much it is being used. This saves fuel and reduces noise. With its 1.24-gallon fuel tank, the EF2200iS can run for up to 10.5 hours on a full tank (fuel consumption is approximately 0.12 GPH). The EF2200iS makes a clean sine wave. With a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 2.5%, you can safely plug your sensitive electronics into the AC outlets.

Outlets

On the control panel, there are 3 AC outlets for: Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R); 120V 30A (TT-30R) receptacle. It also has 1 DC outlet: a 12V 3A receptacle that looks like a cigarette lighter so you can easily charge your batteries. This Yamaha generator is ready for an RV because it has a TT-30R plug, where TT stands for “Travel Trailer”.

Features

The EF2200iS’s control panel has a digital data center that tells you how much power it is putting out so you can keep track of its status and activity. In addition to this information, the device’s lights will show if the generator is too busy or if it doesn’t have enough oil. The inverter generator has a built-in fuel gauge that makes it easy to see at a glance how much gas is in the tank. As far as safety goes, the device has an automatic shut-off for low oil and a circuit breaker for overheating, so you can use it without worrying. It also has a sensor for carbon monoxide. This sensor is meant to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in the air while the generator is running. If the generator isn’t set up right and carbon monoxide levels get too high, the generator will turn off by itself. It’s a nice extra safety measure, but don’t forget to take your generator outside at all times. In addition to the features we’ve already talked about, the Yamaha EF2200iS comes with the usual paperwork and an owner’s manual , so you can use it right away.

Mobility

The encased inverter generator design of the Yamaha EF2200iS (L21.9 x W11.8 x H18.5 in) makes it look better than any ordinary open frame product. The goal of this modern design is to give recreational users the best way to get power. With a dry weight of 55.2 lbs, the EF2200iS’s power can be used anywhere. Also, the EF2200iS is easier to move from point A to point B because it has a handy triple handle that is built into the case and gives you a much better grip.

  • We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
  • For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
  • Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.

We are proud of our independence and have no ties to manufacturers. To maintain our objectivity, we do not accept free products. Our income is generated by advertising fees paid by retailers for qualifying purchases.

Description

The heart of the Honda EU2200i is the gasoline-powered 121 cc Honda GXR120 OHV 4-stroke engine. It has a 120V output and a running power of 1,800W and a peak power of 2,200W. Also, since it can work in parallel (but doesn’t come with parallel cables from Honda), this power can be doubled by connecting it to another unit that works with it. The inverter generator has a very low noise rating of 48 dBA, which is quieter than bird calls. This made it one of our 10 quietest portable generators and put it on our list of the 10 quietest portable generators. Due to its 0.95 gallon fuel tank, the EU2200i can run for up to 8.1 hours on a full tank (using about 0.12 GPH of fuel). The EU2200i makes a clean sine wave. Its Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is less than 3%, so you can safely plug sensitive electronics into its AC outlets.

Outlets

On the control panel, there are two 120V 20A duplex outlets (5-20R).

Features

The lights on the device will show if the generator is overloaded, if it is ready to go, or if the oil level is too low. The product is safe because it has an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off (Oil Alert®), so you can use it without worrying. In addition to the features we’ve already talked about, the Honda EU2200i comes with the usual paperwork and an owner’s manual , so you can use it right away. You can buy a storage cover from the company separately.

Mobility

The Honda EU2200i looks better than a typical open-frame generator because it has a closed inverter generator (L20 x W11.4 x H16.7 in). This kind of design is the most modern and easy way to make power for fun. The EU2200i is a portable generator that weighs only 47.4 pounds. The device is easy for one person to move, so its power can be used while on the go. It can also be carried easily thanks to a handle that is built into the case. This makes it even more convenient.
