Watts = 120Volts x Amps
* watts changes... then amps changes.
I've only used mine 3 times — once for the initial break-in, a 3-day PG&E "Planned Public Safety" power outage, and a random outage. So while I haven't had any issues with mine I haven't used it enough to speak to the longevity/reliability of this model. My only complaint is that changing the oil is a pain. The spigot is inside the case so to empty the oil you need to be able to pick up the whole unit, which isn't exactly light, to be able to dump the oil. If you try to empty the oil by tilting the unit changes are your going to end up with the oil pouring inside the plastic casing. Although I suspect it's problem with many of these small units with the same design.

I bought the AiPower SUA2300i when Sam's had them on sale for $250 (now they're $399). Pretty good little generator, wish I'd purchased 2 at that lower price to run in parallel. Sam's does periodically have some great deals on generators, but it sounds like this Westinghouse is questionable.
As others have mentioned on other threads, one you put gas in a generator, the store apparently won't take it back and you have to deal with the manufacturer, which can either be good or bad.
Did you try to run your AI generator at 1800 watts load?

If a post for a generator shows AH as a spec it would imply that particular generators power source is a rechargeable lithium battery - as opposed to a conventional generator that is powered via fossil-fuel. This generator is fossil fuel. Therefore doesn't show AH as a spec.
There are various advantages/disadvantages to either depending on your situation.

Sure things change, so do your research. I have a dual fuel open frame model I am quite happy with. Good luck on your research.
and,
A-iPower Model # SUA2000iD Duel Fuel. 2,000 watts starting / 1,600 watts of running power (gasoline) w 1,800 watts of starting power / 1,500 watts running power (LPG) . $449. This is A-iPower's newest model.
Easier to return if you have a problem and only run on propane.
For about the same money at Sam's for the traditional open frame duel fuel 6500/5300 watts and 240V120V. Not inverter Not as portable but better for home back-up.
edit: Thank you @Splendidstar8372 for the correction: Pilsar PG2200bis is the dual fuel model , $499 not $399.
