Perfect timing that I watched your review because I’ve narrowed my own research down to these two inverter generators. I thought I’d check You Tube and glad I did. Thank you for the side by side comparison and real world load testing. I think I’m leaning towards the Westinghouse based on my pro/con list.

Based on your review I bought the Duromax 4500ih last February 2022. I bought mine mostly as an emergency home back up for refrigerator and 2 freezers, misc. electric stuff in a power failure. It works great for that. Very happy with it. I keep mine on the battery tender, and run it once a month for 10 minutes to make sure it is good to go. I am thinking of getting one more to run in parallel. Considered the Duromax XP9000iH, but I like the idea of two 4500's in case one breaks. And two smaller units are more manageable if they need to be moved or transported. Plus, 2 is 1, 1 is none right! Always enjoy your reviews. Thank you. ;)

Although I am not in need of such a large generator, if I were in the market I would probably choose the Westinghouse. Only because my little iGen2200 has not given me any trouble in the 2+ years I have owned it. That said, I do like the control panel on the Duromax better. Also like the propane port on the side instead of up front and the handles. Don't like the extra weight though. Thanks for another great video, Gavin. Happy New Year!

I’m willing to bet both of these and the Champion 4500/4650 are all using the same exact engine and most likely stator also. Perhaps small differences with the rectifier. I wouldn’t let reliability concerns be the deciding factor, because there’s likely little to no difference. Select based on the features you want. Front panel features and connections, dual fuel, remote start, fuel tank size, and how well the sound insulation works.

Well, we are on our second DuroMax xp4500i Generator now and it too has already been sent back for repair. The first unit we received died in less than 15 hours. Was an electronic issue in the starter, according to the supplier. They were kind enough to send a new unit, since they didn't have any parts to repair our starter. The second generator only ran for a couple hours with no trouble, then it would only run for short, random periods of time (10 minutes max). The supplier sent a second return label and RMA. I have received the second generator, presumably repaired, from the supplier. I will let you know how things go from here. - I'm not looking for a solution from anyone, just letting you know about our experience with this product so far. We are getting pretty good at spending time breaking-in these generators and doing oil changes. - A very cold week of weather is expected. Lets hope the power doesn't go out! - I'll update you again when I have more experience with this generator. ~pasquale

I actually own the xp4500ih gen and have had the opportunity to use it quite a bit so far this winter and I’m really pleased with the performance But… As I mentioned on your earlier video there’s absolutely NO service information available for this product. I have been chasing my tail for over a month trying to get any kind of parts list or mechanical diagram or electrical schematic. I was stunned when the customer rep tried to tell me that no manufacturer releases that information. My champion actually included all the above with the manual as did Kohler as well Yamaha. In fact this is probably the only piece of equipment I have that doesn’t provide drawings & lists. Again, I like the generator,tons of features, especially the outstanding display. Just hope I never have any trouble.

@@GeneratorReviews That may be the reason. Having a parts diagram & list instills confidence that parts & service will be readily available when the need arises. The opposite gives me concern and the fact still remains all those manufacturers I mentioned include in the owner manual a complete set of drawings with parts & part numbers. I also discovered Duromax has withheld this info on virtually all their power equipment. I’m still in contact with duropower inc. trying to convince them it’s beneficial to make service diagrams public. Unfortunately more products are being designed as “no user serviceable” not only that but non repairable period, if it breaks throw it away. Gavin, I’m retired on a limited income and living in a rural area on the Wa coast. The ability to service my equipment is vitally important.

Hi David that would be a really good video to make. Since it would be really hard to carry the Duromax 9000 if you had two 4500 that would also give you a 9000w, you would still have dual fuel and when you don’t need all that power we could just run one. if one goes down you still have a backup for redundancy I’ll put this video idea on my list then will check the DB levels and power output and maneuverability Thanks again for watching

Good evening. Thank you for all of the wonderful information, I have learned so much from your videos. My concern is maintenance of a Westinghouse 4500DF that is only fueled by propane. I experience difficulty getting down onto the ground to drain and change oil etc. Is there a way to permanently and safely elevate the generator on a pedestal of sorts to make these tasks easier? I thought about the possibility of using a motorcycle lift (temporary for maintenance) or a cement block platform with raised edges to raise it permanently. Vibration is a concern for the platform option and I certainly wouldn't want it to vibrate itself off of the platform. LOL The generator is housed in a roomy storage building with exhaust to outside and adequate air ventilation. There is plenty of room for whatever would be the best solution. Thanks again.

The load between the test was almost identical, about 4150 watts. The reason the amps were higher on the Duromax is the voltage was about 10 volts lower than the Westinghouse at max load. The lower the voltage, the higher the amperage required to make same wattage. Westinghouse had better high load voltage support. Probably why it didn't trip during the test.

Which generator SURGE PROTECTOR would you recommend for me? I connect my generators to my house for back up power.

Thinking about purchasing the duromax, have seen a few comments that it’s hard to get to the dipstick to change oil. Is this true?

I’m pretty sure the people leaving comments like that can’t get to the dipstick in their car either. I don’t think it’s hard to get to it

Let’s see the Duromax ih9000 vs the PowerHorse 7000i and the blueEtti 5500 battery generator vs the clean green machine 7000 battery generator with full load test and also with the battery generator how long it will last will full load test and how long it will take to recharge them and see what decibel sound levels are between the powerhorse and the Duromax at full load

Now that’s a hell of a test! I can already tell you that the Duromax 9000 would come out on top but I really want to test the Powerhorse 7500 vs the Honda Eu7000 I’m also working on the Duromax 9000 parallel kit video Happy new year 🎊 WatUp Chief Please keep the video ideas coming I appreciate your feedback

Will these generators run a 2 hp deep well pump?.I like the idea of low thd for that pump.
@GeneratorReviews2 жыл бұрын
A 1 HP submersible well pump will require a 2.5 KW internally regulated generator to operate the pump. A 30 amp breaker means the pump is smaller than 2 hp will use ~11 amps/2000 watts during operation and will require a 4 KW internally regulated generator to operate the pump It should definitely be okay if it’s a 120v pump
