Which one runs a central A/C?

The DuroMax XP13000HX is the safer pick. Its 10,500 running watts and 50A outlet handle central A/C plus house loads better than the Westinghouse's 9,500 watts.

Is the DuroMax worth $300 more?

Only if you need the extra 1,000 running watts or the 50A transfer-switch outlet. For lights, a fridge and a sump pump, the Westinghouse covers it for less.

Which is easier to move?

The Westinghouse. It has never-flat wheels and a lift bracket and is lighter than the DuroMax's 240 lb dry weight. Both are heavy and need two people for stairs.

Which runs longer on a tank?

The Westinghouse, up to 12 hours on 6.6 gallons. The DuroMax runs about 8.5 hours at 50% load on 8.3 gallons.

Do both run on propane?

Yes. Both are dual fuel. The Westinghouse peaks at 9,500 watts on propane, and the DuroMax output drops on propane too.

Neither is quiet. The Westinghouse is rated 90 dB at 6 feet, and the DuroMax is a similar open-frame class. Plan on placing either away from windows.
