Thanks Jim

Happy New Year Elizabeth! Thanks for watching

They all love me. who wouldn’t love having me as a neighbor! Minus all the noise 😏

@@GeneratorReviews Probably don't mind having you as a neighbor when the power goes out for a few days straight 🤣.

Thank you 😊

Thanks Tom Happy new year!🎊🎆

Anytime 👍🏾👍🏾

Thanks 🙏🏾

Thanks 😊

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing 👍🏾

I have heard Westinghouse’s customer service is nonexistent. Can’t speak first hand but seen many people say so. Enough to make me avoid their products. Glad things are working out with your product.

Hey Jim! Happy New Year 🎊🎆

Happy New Year 🎊

Here’s some more options to consider kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r5OalbtjqOC8fqM.html

👍🏾💯

You’re welcome inverter is the best way to go for backup power

Ohh it’s not empty inside, watch the video again you will here me say that Thanks for sharing this with us

Happy New year 🎆 and thanks for watching

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.

@@jabroni6199 Actually Duromax engines are made in Ontario, California. Westinghouse engines are made in Vietnam. But, your probably right about reliability. I just tend to stick with what works for me.

Thanks for watching Happy new year 🎆🎊

Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Just keep going through the channel and you’ll see a lot of different options. I have a brand new Pulsar 5000 duel fuel review coming out soon.

Thanks for the feedback Yes I’m working on that one👍🏾 Thanks buddy

Thanks.. Happy New Year

Dude! Seriously you made my day, thank you so much sometimes its simplest comments like this that will keep me going. Thanks again💯👍🏾👌🏾😊🙏🏾

We ordered the DuroMax. I feel like we made a good choice. You are the best! ;-)

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 can do that for you.👍🏾

Yes I have but haven’t reviewed it yet

Thanks for watching I appreciate that I don’t know if it’s because the xp4500 are still new they just haven’t released any of the schematics

@@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.

@@jatoav8or I agree totally, Im running 2 weatinghouse df models with capability to parallel both of mine has all the parts to order and all info….. gotta have it

The 223cc engine is just a run of the mill hemi Honda clone. Idk why people get so worried about nothing, all the Chinese generator parts are interchangeable across engine displacements/block sizes with limited exception. Even the inverters are available if you can use Google and are willing to look at more than the first results page.

If you want parts for the duromax, just use champion parts....

Thanks Eric

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

@@GeneratorReviews I have talked myself out of the 9000 due to it's weight and came across this comment exactly addressing a strong consideration! Two 4500 DuroMax paralleled then using a dog bone connection 30 to 50 amp service at my breaker box. Affording medium duty whole house power without the excessive weight of the 9000. And should one malfunction I would still have light duty whole house service. Gavin am I missing anything? TY

@@1new-man just remember that you only get 120v and that means you can’t power your 240v appliances

@@GeneratorReviews Got it! TY 4 your time Gavin/always the best! John 3:16

I will just trying to get them all out there first then I’m going to do some upkeep and maintenance videos

Thanks Jean

Thanks

Aim’s Inverter makes a great inverter generator for auto start kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oaiRjbOJscrHeX0.html

That’s based on a 20 pound bottle of propane

Yes I did finally found stability option sorry

I will be doing maintenance videos for this Gen for the oil carburetor spark plug and best practices no need to worry about it my friend I got you.👍🏾😉

I use a motorcycle lift for generator and lawnmower/ tractor maintenance and it is just the ticket. Also makes a workbench at any height you need. Also for lifting heavy items to load into a pickup, I highly recommend a lift.

I just use a harborfreight oil suction device. Saves a lot of time and mess.

Did I really 😅 I’m sorry I probably missed that.

@@GeneratorReviews, I just came across your channel today and have subscribed and "Liked" about a dozen videos! What great content! Figured you were a Texan and just came across your video about the winter apocalypse. We're out by Fredericksburg in The Hill Country. Please keep the content coming... it's much appreciated!

The only thing I can tell you is if you know you’re going to be at that high altitude, you can install a high altitude jet kit that should help with the higher altitude. I don’t know if they have one available for that particular generator yet but that would be my recommendation.

The Westinghouse has a main breaker / switch that you can turn on and off to isolate the generator power from the load? Please let me know because I know it has a resettable 30 amp breaker but not a switch that you can turn on and off

@@GeneratorReviews it says main breaker.... right below the red switch. Upper left front panel.

@@chrisanderson8553 Oh OK that turns the generator on and off that actually kills the engine, on the Duromax the breaker actually kills the power shut off the power to the load

I haven’t tried that out. I have to try it out.

I should’ve showed that in the video but once you switch to propane it stalls the generator

Happy New Year 🎊🎈

@@GeneratorReviews dose it stall instantly? Would love to see that on video, I have several generators alerdy but would like to get one of these in the near future and looking to learn as much about them before buying one. Happy new year to you as well!

@@tdm8817 I will include it on the next video stalls instantly

That’s good to know👍🏾

If you just needing 120 volts, these two are perfect but if you need 240 V, you probably wanna look at the Genmax 6000ied that one should cover you for the RV and the home back up

Thank you!!!! Keep the content coming!!!

The highest I’ve seen it go is 37amps before cutting off

🙏🏾Thanks Wendell

Yes I will do that 👍🏾

Yes you can actually do that

I will work on it for you

They’re both really good generators. Honestly, you can’t go wrong.

When you shut the valve, it allows the carburetor to run dry, leaving gas in the carburetor gums up and it ruins it. The benefit is emptying the carburetor before storing it with gas in it. Yes, you’re right propane you just shut off valve. It’s a cleaner fuel.

@@GeneratorReviews I run non ethanol which is more forgiving but what i was saying is Ill run mowers and all till all the gas is run out and it cuts off, cant you do that to anything?

@@Eroc556 yes you can👍🏾

@@GeneratorReviews thank you Sir just making sure Im not hurting equipment…. You have such a great channel.

The amps changes because of other loads on the circuit may have been drawing more at that particular moment. The battery charger, A/C and refrigerator could have been pulling 1 amp more each. I always try to look at the big picture +- 2 to 3 amps. Thanks David for watching and sharing this, My subscribers always amazing me, you guys are awesome 😎

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.

That’s actually my next video👍🏾

Yes I would.

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

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

@@GeneratorReviews awesome and happy new year to ya too as well man 👊🏽👍🏽

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

@@GeneratorReviews Thanks Gavin. It is on a 220 30a breaker

@@sh839c OK this will not do it I’m working on my 220V generators comparison please. If you haven’t subscribe go ahead and do so now so you can get my updated video

@@GeneratorReviews Subscribed, thanks for the help.

Yessir that is correct

@@GeneratorReviews Thank you for the rapid reply. I just found your channel since I've been hunting for a new generator for hurricane season! Great information,

The champion 4500 is the quietest one for sure

If you meant inverter generator I would look at the genarac iq3500 it is ultra silent

@@GeneratorReviews thank you

Yes you can, but you can only run 120 V appliances.

The champion is quieter. I would get the champion 4500 dual fuel.

Thanks for asking the question Tim that would have been my question too and the champion is the way to go, Thanks for the confirmation Galvin

That’s not the same Generator this one’s the dual fuel version in the other one that was just a gas generator

I guess with the additional hardware for propane I need to test the two models against each other

I would like to see the comparison between the westinghouse models!

@@hoss_ironsights Which models are you talking about the dual fuel and the gas models comparison

@@GeneratorReviews yes sir. Would like to see comparison between the duel fuel and the gasoline only models. Thanks for your videos!

The Westinghouse is a great Generator also.

I like the champion due to size and quietness, however, I don't like the option of not being able to drain the fuel. Is there a work around?
