The duel fuel version Westinghouse WGen3600DF is also for sale at $380. I got that one because propane can be stored indefinitely as a back up fuel source, whereas liquid gas will have to be stabilized and rotated out a couple times per year.
This seems like a great deal. I've had a 5000 watt since Ivan in 04. It sat in my garage without running until Sally in 2020. Fortunately, I had remembered to drain the gas and it cranked right up when I needed it. This would be a great addition with hurricane season coming up. I like the dual fuel but you better have it on hand before a storm because you can't find it after it hits, but the good thing is that propane doesn't go bad like gasoline.

How long do these tend to last in terms of running hours before you need to refuel. I feel as though it will depend on many factors so it might be a dumb question

Click the product link OP has & read the specs - this says 14 hours
Mine actually runs about 10 hours (TV, Fridge, couple lights) - depends on the load.

Since it's not an inverter model, It's very noisy, correct?

True. I looked into that option before buying, but it takes time and money to do the conversion ($10 best case according to that particular video), you end up with a crude jerry-rigged system, you void your warranty, and are likely going to run at lower efficiency and power than a model that's been properly set up to take propane. Might be an ok option for some, but I'd prefer to pay extra for a properly engineered solution that meets my needs out of box.

the price delta for duel fuel vs regular, and efficiency (frequency of usage) should be considered.

for me, I just want something for emergencies (extended prolong blackouts) one every 5-10 year event type. is the efficiency really that great that I will recover the difference in the price in just couple big blackouts.

Also, efficiency is important for how long fuel will last in a emergency. It's only practical to store so much, and however much that is will last longer with better efficiency.

We have several blackouts a year, and I'll probably go buy gas at the pump for regular usage during those times. The propane is a long term backup solution in case of large hurricanes etc. where gas may not be readily available.

the problem with gas station and propane is that during massive and extended blackouts, all that stuff is sold out. I have natural gas at home I can just connect and don't have to bother with all the maintenance and upkeep that comes with the other 2 type of fuels.
