Westinghouse iGen8200TFc Tri-Fuel Inverter vs DuroMax XP17500HX Generator
The DuroMax XP17500HX is the choice for whole-home backup: roughly double the running watts, two 50-amp outlets for a transfer switch, remote start and a five-year warranty. The Westinghouse iGen8200TFc is the better fit for quieter, cleaner, more portable power: inverter output under 3% THD, about 60 dBA at light load, a third fuel option in natural gas, and 134.5 lbs against 269 lbs. Owners of big conventional units like the DuroMax praise the power and outlets but accept the noise and weight; inverter buyers pick the Westinghouse for electronics-safe power and easier handling.
- Choose the Westinghouse iGen8200TFc if you want clean, quiet power for sensitive electronics, natural gas as a third fuel, and a unit you can move yourself.
- Choose the DuroMax XP17500HX if you are wiring a transfer switch or interlock for whole-home backup and want remote start, CO shutdown and a long warranty.
