So this linked Australian Westinghouse website says the generators are made in China and Vietnam not Ohio. Do we believe that or www.powerup.com ?
Watching this thread as we need a small generator soon.2017 Imagine 2150RB

This thread has gone very southward.
They are not made in the US. They are assembled in the US from parts sourced abroad. Westinghouse has not "designed" anything about them, they have specified the performance characteristics which mostly entailed the electrical output to be compatible with US standards.
The only manufacturer of portable generators using their own design and making all major components that I know of is Yamaha. Honda used to, but I can't speak to that still being the case after they sold off a division 6-7 years ago (sometimes sales are just on paper to reorganize a business).Rob & Nikki + Cloverfield

My Westinghouse came in today. On the box it indicates is was manufactured in Vietnam for what it's worth.

Mine almost two years ago came from Ohio.
Seems like all manufactures produce them and parts in many countries in the world. Even Honda’s are produced in Japan, China, France, India, Thailand and US . Reflects the global economy and price of labor .

Well I pulled the trigger on the Westinghouse iGen4500DF, but had to order it through eBay and pay about $50 more than Home Depot or other stores due to it's being on back order until mid-June! We're doing some dry-camping in May so I had to pay the premium. I've had good experience with eBay and their vendors; I'm hoping that trend will continue.
I went with the Westinghouse due to its wattage, dual fuel capability, weight, overall positive ratings and reviews, and cost. I could have purchased a second Honda EU2200i generator for about the same amount, perhaps even a bit less, but then I'd have to lug around two generators and be limited to gasoline only. We're not heavy users, so hopefully with proper maintenance and storage this unit will serve our needs for years to come...
Thanks for all the input, I find this forum most educational and, at times, entertaining.2020 Grand Design 230 RL

YES IT HAS! There is significantly more trade advantage throughout Southeast Asia. We're considering shuttering our China manufacturing facility after our newest line in Vietnam is completed later this year since our Thailand-based are making more consistent quality product at a better price point as well. FWIW - we have 13 production facilities across the US as well, 4 of which making product in my purview.

Hope you like it as much as we like yours. You’ll find a way to deal with its extra heft. Additionally follow the oil change regimens . It’s very easy since the digital readout. One of the bump stops is how many hours since the last oil change. Changing the 1 qt of oil takes less than 5 minutes.

So, since my Honda EU2000i is parallel capable and my new Westinghouse is also, can I connect them with the appropriate parallel kit for added power?
