The engines and dynamos all look identical. Many look as if several of the parts like air filter assemblies, would swap out. My guess is most all of them are made by some major industrial manufacturer in China. And then are painted, featured, and branded per contract, by the companies who purchased them.These Westinghouse units all have overhead valve, cast iron sleeved engines, same as the Thailand manufactured GX Honda's do. A lot of people like to crap on anything that comes from China these days. And politically they're not the nicest guys on the block. However with that said, their quality and guarantees on their products is quickly coming up to world class standards.Both of my Westinghouse units function flawlessly. If you check the reviews on both Home Depot's and Lowe's websites on this unit, they get very high marks. And a lot of the people who purchased and reviewed them, came from hurricane country like Florida and the east coast, where they ran them for literally weeks on end non stop.</blockquote>
