S afe, reliable, portable power has expanded the “outdoor enthusiast” audience dramatically. From camping, hunting and tailgating to parties under the stars portable power allows nature lovers to experience the rustic lore of the outdoors with the comforts of home. For a long time, the luxury of portable power seemed just beyond the reach of many due to challenging operating systems, noisy and unreliable units, insufficient power supply and high purchasing costs. That was until Westpro Power introduced their Westinghouse WH2400i portable digital inverter. The WH2400i is specifically designed for the outdoor enthusiast. These digital inverters are small portable units with less than 5% THD (Total Harmonic Distortion). The low THD is critical for the enjoyment and proper use of sensitive 50 NATDA Magazine electronics, audio equipment and power tools. The ease of use and versatility of the WH2400i is a perfect solution for the trailer industry. Each model is equipped with EZ start and color-coded starting controls designed to be hassle free and to jumpstart the needed work or desired pleasure. The WH2400i has 5 outlets with 3 different ways to plug in; two 120 volt AC outlets, dual USB, and a 12 volt power port. It produces up to 2400 watts of power with a unit weight of just 43 pounds. The Westinghouse 79cc 4-stroke engine is gasoline powered and will run for 13 hours on a full tank of fuel at 50% load. This model comes fully assembled and is backed by a two-year limited warranty. In addition, one WH2400i is powerful enough to power most trailers. If more power is needed, you can parallel two units together for more than 4200 watts of power. By using two paralleled WH2400i units you have the freedom to use one or two units depending on how much power you need at any given time. This allows you to save on fuel plus the smaller units are easier to store and transport than one large, heavy unit. “The WH2400i is cool. While tailgating before the Kansas State football game our Westinghouse inverter was powering a TV, 2 crock pots and our stereo. It ran so well and was so quiet we could carry on a conversation standing right next to it,” said Tony Blank avid Kansas State football fan and tailgating efficienato. “You know it’s awesome when your tailgating neighbors stop and ask about it. We even let one charge his phone,” The WH2400i is an economical alternative to Honda EU2000i with comparable quality, over 35% more power, just as www.natda.org
