Power & Run Time
The Westinghouse WH3700iXLTc
Running on gasoline, the Westinghouse WH3700iXLTc operates with a 150 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, delivering 120V, with a running wattage of 3,000W and a peak wattage of 3,700W. Moreover, the parallel capability (parallel kit included) allows for doubling of power output when paired with another similar or compatible unit, providing increased energy capacity and reliability for diverse needs.
Featuring a noise rating of 58 dBA (less noisy than a quiet suburb), the inverter generator utilizes a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism for ignition.
Equipped with a 1.3 gallon fuel tank, the WH3700iXLTc ensures continuous operation for up to 6 hours with a full tank (fuel usage approximately 0.22 gallons per hour).
As the WH3700iXLTc produces a clean sine wave, with a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), sensitive electronics may be plugged in the AC outlets safely.
Outlets
The control panel provides the upcoming 3 AC outlets:
In addition, it provides 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (USB-A) perfect for conveniently charging mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices.
While not classified as 'RV Ready,' this Westinghouse generator can still provides the advantage of RV connection via its L5-30R receptacle, ensuring power supply to your RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor (included).
Portability
As an inverter generator, the Westinghouse WH3700iXLTc showcases a closed design (L23.9 x W13.3 x H19.3 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring quieter operation compared to conventional, open frame models. The featured design follows the latest trends and is ideal for easy and recreational use.
At 70.5 lbs, the WH3700iXLTc is easily managed, ensuring it can be brought along wherever you need power. Moreover, once it’s on the ground, its set of 2 wheels and its telescopic handle will allow you to shift it without effort.
Features
The WH3700iXLTc's control panel
Several light indicators serve to show you when the generator is overloaded, its oil levels are insufficient and the generator is ready. To offer greater control and easy operation during nighttime, the panel is LED-lit.
As far as security is concerned, the generator comes with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, providing peace of mind during use.
It also includes a carbon monoxide sensor. This sensor is designed to monitor the level of carbon monoxide present during the generator's operation. If the generator is positioned incorrectly and carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level, the generator will automatically shut down.
Besides the classic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to get you promptly started, the Westinghouse WH3700iXLTc also comes with some accessories: tool kit, funnel, oil and RV adapter are included.
Product Videos
The Westinghouse WH3700iXLTc versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Westinghouse WH3700iXLTc compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 2500 and 3500 W).
- In terms of its dry weight, the Westinghouse WH3700iXLTc stands at only 70.5 lbs, meaning that is one of the lighter inverters of the 2500-3500 rated wattage category if you wish to prioritize weight, the Pulsar PGD40iSCO is one of the top contenders in its power category, weighing only 46 pounds.
- Since this inverter generator is rated for a lowest possible noise of 58 dBA, it can be considered as one of the more quiet of the products generating similar power. If noise emissions are important to you, one of the least noisy generators of this power range is the Honda EU3000iS with only 50 dBA.
- In terms of its autonomy, the WH3700iXLTc can operate for up to 6 hours at a 25% load, placing it within the lower bracket among generators of similar type and power range. If you consider autonomy on a single full tank as one of the deciding factors, one of the generators in the same power range that offers the highest run time is the Champion 200977, with up to 22 hours.
- Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel tank capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary for a complete understanding. In terms of fuel efficiency within its wattage range, this inverter generator falls short: it consumes approximately 0.22 GPH at a 25% load. If you wish to acquire one of the most gasoline efficient products of this power range, the Energizer eZV3500P, with a fuel consumption of 0.13 GPH could be in your good books.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 2500-3500W inverter generators, the Westinghouse WH3700iXLTc is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.

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 and Vietnam.
