Which is better for powering a refrigerator during an outage?

The Honda EU2200i has 2200 running watts, so it has more headroom for a fridge's startup surge. The Westinghouse's 2550 peak watts can start many fridges, but its 1900 running watts leaves less margin for adding loads.

Is the Honda worth twice the price?

At the November 5, 2026 prices, $899.99 versus $425.00, you pay about $475 more for CO shutdown, remote start, 300 extra running watts, and Honda service coverage. If you run it indoors-adjacent or near sleeping areas, the CO-Minder is a real safety feature.

Which one is quieter?

The Westinghouse, at 52 dBA versus 57 dB for the Honda. That gap matters at campgrounds and in close neighbors' yards.

Can either run sensitive electronics?

Both are inverter generators with clean power. Westinghouse rates the iGen2550c at under 3% THD, which is fine for laptops, TVs, and phones.

Which is easier to move and start?

The Westinghouse is lighter at 43 lb versus 47 lb, but it starts with a recoil pull. The Honda weighs more but offers remote start.

Can I get more power from either?

The Westinghouse is parallel-capable with a second Westinghouse inverter generator. The Honda EU2200i is also widely paired with a second unit for more output.
