The Westinghouse 2,800W Dual Fuel Inverter ticks most of the boxes we care about: 2,200 running watts (2,800 at start-up), a gas-or-propane fuel switch and inverter power under 3 % THD. It makes most sense for tailgates, RV trips and a short blackout; we rate it 7.1/10 from its listing.

Two generators that are also inverters, of about the same size, closest to it on our rating, each with a dated price.



That's the running figure the listing states, on gasoline. At home that means the fridge, the lights, the router and a phone charger or two; central air and a 240 V well pump need a bigger generator.
What it has going for it
Gasoline or propane. Propane keeps for years in a sealed tank and won't gum up the carburetor between storms; gasoline gives you more watts. Propane is rated lower, so find that figure in the manual.
Inverter, under 3 % THD. The engine speeds up and slows down with the load, so it is quieter and thriftier at 3 a.m. when only the fridge and a lamp are on. The clean sine wave is kinder to laptops, TVs and the furnace control board.
At the campsite: it's an inverter, so the engine idles down at light loads, the listing states 52 dB, it has a TT-30R, the usual camper plug, two can be linked with a parallel kit and it weighs 45 lb, per the listing. Most campgrounds keep quiet hours, so ask before you pack it.
On outage night: 2,200 running watts cover the fridge, the lights, the router and the phone chargers if you add them up first. Central air and a 240 V well pump are beyond it.
The seller states, word for word, in the Westinghouse 2,800W Dual Fuel Inverter listing:
The iGen2800DFc is a dual fuel inverter generator- Gasoline: 2,800W peak/2,200W running, Propane: 2,520W peak/1,980W running.
It's also much quieter, as quiet as 52 dBA.
An ideal RV generator with a TT-30R 30A outlet to power a camper’s essentials.
Their words and their figures, not our measurements. How loud it is twenty feet from your bedroom window, and whether it catches your well pump's start-up surge, no listing can tell you.

What the Westinghouse 2,800W Dual Fuel Inverter listing names:
The manual has the last word on fuel, oil and the outlet ratings; read it before the first start.

We have no recent price on file for this listing, so we don't print an old one.
Add a fuel can, stabilizer and a quart of oil for the first fill to the budget.

Want a CO shutoff? The Generac 3,300W Inverter (7.2/10) names a CO sensor that shuts the engine off.
Well pump or central air on the list? The Westinghouse 5,000W Dual Fuel Inverter (9.2/10) is rated 3,900 running watts.
Our take
What we'd buy the Westinghouse 2,800W Dual Fuel Inverter for is 2,200 running watts (2,800 at start-up), with a gas-or-propane fuel switch as a bonus. No buyer reviews yet, so this Westinghouse inverter generator has to win you over on paper. The catch with the Westinghouse: no electric start in the listing, while most picks here have one. We'd pick the Westinghouse 2,800W Dual Fuel Inverter if you need the fridge, lights and phones, not the whole house; otherwise, put it next to the Champion 2,500W Inverter first.
At 45 lb (stated), have a second person or a dolly ready. Fill it with oil before the first start, then run it for a few minutes outside with a small load.
Pull the cord, let it warm up, then add loads one at a time, the biggest motor first. Propane or gas: decide before the storm and have the hose and the tank ready. The 12 hours on the listing are at a light load; plan a refill at night.
Run it every month or so for 20 minutes. On propane you avoid stale gas in the carburetor; on gas, add stabiliser or run it dry before storage. Our maintenance schedule has the full list.
First oil change after the break-in hours in the manual, then on schedule. Air filter and spark plug once a season, and a cover for the months it sits.
Before the Westinghouse 2,800W Dual Fuel Inverter ships, check your load list: 2,200 running watts (2,800 at start-up) have to cover everything you run at once, motor surges included.
Read the label on each appliance (or the manual) for its running watts, and note which ones have a motor. Our running vs starting watts guide explains why the motor ones need the extra surge.
Plan on heavy-duty extension cords to the appliances, or ask an electrician which inlet and switch would match its outlets. Our interlock vs transfer switch guide compares the two routes.
Outside only, about 20 ft from doors, windows and vents, exhaust pointing away (the CO sensor is a backup, not a permission). Pick the spot now, before the storm. Our CO safety and placement guide has the details.
Gasoline goes stale in a few months without stabiliser; propane keeps. Check the propane rating in the manual if propane is your plan. Our fuel storage guide covers storage.
How the Westinghouse 2,800W Dual Fuel Inverter stacks up against the closest alternative, the Champion 2,500W Inverter.
| Criterion | Westinghouse 2,800W Dual Fuel Inverter | Champion 2,500W Inverter |
|---|---|---|
| Our rating | 7.1/10 | 7.1/10 |
| Running watts | 2,200 W | 1,850 W |
| Peak watts | 2,800 W | 2,500 W |
| Fuels | Gas, propane | Not stated |
| Runtime | 12 h at 25 % | 11.5 h |
Both score 7.1/10. The Westinghouse 2,800W Dual Fuel Inverter brings more running watts (2,200 W) and a higher peak (2,800 W), so it has the edge on paper.
We rate it 7.1/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.
The listing or manual states 2,200 W running and 2,800 W peak, usually for gasoline. Size your load list against the running watts and keep the peak for motor starts; propane and natural gas ratings are lower. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements (our sizing calculator turns your loads into a running and peak pair).
The listing names gasoline and propane. Output differs by fuel, so check the per-fuel running watts in the manual and whether the hoses you need come in the box. Run it outdoors only, away from doors, windows and vents.
Its listing states 2,200 running watts (2,800 at start-up), the choice of gasoline or propane, inverter power under 3 % THD, a built-in CO sensor, up to 12 hours per tank at 25 % load and a stated 52 dB. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how loud it is in your driveway and how it handles your well pump's surge can't be read from a listing.
Your load list: read the label on each appliance (or the manual) for its running watts, and note which ones have a motor. Our running vs starting watts guide explains why the motor ones need the extra surge. How it reaches the house: plan on heavy-duty extension cords to the appliances, or ask an electrician which inlet and switch would match its outlets. Our interlock vs transfer switch guide compares the two routes. Where it will run: outside only, about 20 ft from doors, windows and vents, exhaust pointing away (the CO sensor is a backup, not a permission). Pick the spot now, before the storm. Our CO safety and placement guide has the details. Fuel for three days: gasoline goes stale in a few months without stabiliser; propane keeps. Check the propane rating in the manual if propane is your plan. Our fuel storage guide covers storage.
