As the Westinghouse WGen12000DF and the DuroMax XP15000EH do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary.
Power Comparison
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the DuroMax XP15000EH compare to the Westinghouse WGen12000DF.
- Fuel: The 2 portable generators enjoy a dual-fuel technology, which allows them to run either on gasoline or propane, providing additional versatility and convenience.
- Power: As both the DuroMax XP15000EH and the Westinghouse WGen12000DF share the same running wattage of 12,000W, they will both allow you to simultaneously power the same appliances. In addition, as the 2 generators have the same starting watts (15,000 W), they will both give you the same boost needed to start the motor of your most demanding appliances.
- Runtime: When loaded to 25% of their max capacity, the DuroMax XP15000EH offers a higher runtime on a full tank than the Westinghouse WGen12000DF: it can operate for up to 18 hours, whereas the Westinghouse WGen12000DF offers a maximum runtime of 16 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: With a gasoline consumption at 25% load of 0.59 GPH (gallon per hour), the DuroMax XP15000EH is more fuel efficient than the Westinghouse WGen12000DF and its 0.66 GPH. The former's operation will therefore cost less in terms of the money spent on gasoline.
- THD: The Westinghouse WGen12000DF with its low THD (<5%) is the only of these 2 generators that allows you to safely power your sensitive electronic devices (the DuroMax XP15000EH has a THD <12%, which is too high for electronic products).
- Noise: With a noise of 74 dBA, the Westinghouse WGen12000DF allows for a quieter operation than the 83 dBA of the DuroMax XP15000EH. The former will therefore be the most suitable for you if you take noise emission seriously.
Portability Comparison
- Bulkiness: As these two products share the same overall bulk, neither of them will really take up less storage space.
- Weight: With a weight of 352 lbs, the WGen12000DF is slightly less heavy than the XP15000EH (which weighs 380 lbs).
- Portability: Both products benefit from a wheel kit, which greatly enhances their maneuverability. Both offer a folding handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them around.
- Lifting Hook: These 2 generators enjoy a lifting hook on the top of their frame. This lift hook offers an additional safety feature while facilitating their transport, loading and unloading.
Feature Comparison
- Starting System: These two devices offer the same starting convenience, as they can be both easily started with an electric starter. The Westinghouse WGen12000DF offers another layer of convenience, as it can be remotely started.
- Outlets: The DuroMax XP15000EH and the Westinghouse WGen12000DF both offer 7 AC outlets. They also both feature GFCI outlets. The latter also offers a DC output. In addition, it is worth noting that they can both produce either 120 or 240V. For more detailed information regarding all their respective receptacles, refer to the DuroMax XP15000EH's and the Westinghouse WGen12000DF's product pages.
- Data Center & Fuel Gauge: Each of these 2 portable generators is equipped with a data center allowing you to conveniently monitor some aspects of the power output. Besides that, these 2 products are fitted with a fuel gauge allowing to see their fuel level at a glance.
