| Summary | The ECHO EG-3500 is a 2,800-watt gasoline generator built around a 212 cc OHV 4-stroke engine. At this wattage, it handles essential household loads like refrigerators, sump pumps, and power tools, but cannot run a central air conditioner or multiple high-demand appliances simultaneously. The 3,500-watt peak output gives it a brief surge capacity for motor startup, which matters when powering devices with inrush current demands. ECHO positions this unit for homeowners managing short outages, campers needing overnight power, and contractors powering hand tools on job sites where grid access is unavailable. | The Westinghouse iGen8200TFc is a 6,600-watt tri-fuel inverter generator built for homeowners and RV users who need flexible fuel sourcing and clean power for sensitive electronics. Its 8,200-watt starting capacity handles motor loads and air conditioning startup surges, while 3 percent THD protects laptops, TVs, and medical equipment from voltage spikes. |
