Different weight classes at similar prices. The Honda is a 47-lb one-hand carry with the best small engine ever made; the iGen4500 is a wheeled 98-lb unit with double the output — enough for an RV air conditioner. Buy the Honda for portability and legend-grade reliability; buy the Westinghouse if anything you own needs more than 1,800 running watts.

Pick the Honda if…

✓One-hand portability is the point
✓Loads stay under 1,800 running watts
✓Maximum reliability per pound

Pick the Westinghouse if…

✓RV air conditioning is on the list
✓You want a data display, remote start, and fuel gauge
✓More watts per dollar matters more than weight
