In the upcoming sections, you'll discover its power characteristics, the array of outlets it presents, its overall portability, and the additional features it possesses.

Power & Run Time

The Westinghouse WH2200iXLT

The Westinghouse WH2200iXLT's engine, 79 cc (3 hp) Westinghouse OHV 4-stroke, fueled by gasoline, can deliver 120V. It provides a running wattage of 1,800W and reaches a peak wattage of 2,200W. In addition, the parallel capability (Westinghouse WHPC Parallel Cord (opens in a new tab) not included) empowers doubling of power output when linked to another similar or compatible unit, ensuring expanded energy capacity and reliability for various applications.

Rated for 52 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a refrigerator), the inverter generator's starting mechanism relies on a simple traditional pull-start mechanism.

With a fuel capacity of 1.3 gallon, the WH2200iXLT may run for up to 13 hours with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.1 GPH).

The <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the WH2200iXLT ensures a clean sine wave output, providing a secure power source for your sensitive electronics through its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel is equipped with the following 2 AC outlets:

Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R)

Additionally, it features 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A receptacle providing easy battery charging capabilities.

Portability

As an inverter generator, the Westinghouse WH2200iXLT showcases a closed design (L20 x W12.5 x H17.5 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring quieter operation compared to conventional, open frame models. The generator has a contemporary design, convenient for recreationally generating power.

At a mere 43 lbs, the WH2200iXLT is a standout option for those in need of a lightweight and portable power solution. The product’s power can be enjoyed on-the-go, as it can be moved by a single person without trouble. Its handle (molded in the case) adds to the convenience, making it easy to carry.

Features

The WH2200iXLT's control panel

The generator's light indicators provide visual feedback when the generator is overloaded, the generator is ready and the oil level is too low.

As far as security is concerned, the generator comes with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), providing peace of mind during use.

Apart from the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the Westinghouse WH2200iXLT features extra accessories: tool kit, funnel and oil.

The Westinghouse WH2200iXLT versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Westinghouse WH2200iXLT compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 1500 and 2500 W).

• In terms of its dry weight, the Westinghouse WH2200iXLT stands at only 43 lbs, meaning that is one of the lighter inverters of the 1500-2500 rated wattage category Weight-conscious users may find the Genmax GM2000i appealing, as it is one of the top contenders in this power range, weighing just 34.2 pounds.
• With noise levels starting from 52 dBA rating, this inverter generator stands out as one of the quieter options among products of similar type and power. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may want to take a look at the Honda EU2200i. It's one of the quietest options among generators of similar power, rated at 48 dBA.
• Among its inverters with similar power, the WH2200iXLT offers one of the highest run times, running for up to 13 hours at 25% load.
• The run time is important, but also hugely depends on the capacity of the fuel tank and doesn't mean much if we don't talk about fuel consumption as well. This inverter generator, with an estimated fuel consumption of just 0.1 GPH (gallon per hour) at 25% load, is one of the more fuel-efficient generators, for the previously mentioned wattage range. If gasoline efficiency is at the top of your list, you may want to have a look at the Westinghouse iGen2800, which has great fuel efficiency, with a gas consumption of only 0.08 gallons per hour.

About Westinghouse

The US based Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment is a legacy subsidiary of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, founded in 1886. While the company has been acquired and merged into the American CBS, the Westinghouse name remains as the brand name for many of their electrical solutions, which stretch across the scale from power plants to portable generators. Portable generators – the main product of the Outdoor Power Equipment branch of Westinghouse – used to be manufactured by Westpro Power Systems, which was bought in 2016 by Midwest Equipment. Lawn equipment, such as trimmers and blowers, is also sold under the Westinghouse brand name. All of their products are designed in the US. However, they are in many cases manufactured in China.
