Westinghouse Generators
Westinghouse sells more dual-fuel portable generators than anyone, and the WGen line is where most people land when they want home backup without paying Honda money. Their published noise figures are measured at 23 feet, which reads quieter than brands quoting at 7 meters — worth remembering when comparing spec sheets. Most current models ship with a CO sensor as standard.
