This is also ~6-8 db quieter.
Even tried reaching out to Aipower, but never heard back, so that was my first and last time with the brand.
Hopefully a better experience for you, just wanted to share.
Gas - Peak 7100, running 5700
Propane - Peak 6400, running 5100
It does sound like a good price for a dual fuel invertor generator, not sure about the brand reliability though. If I didn't have a generator, I'd really look into this one!

Ran 12,000 btu portable ac and 14,000 btu window unit, 1 freezer, 1 fridge, lots o lights, cpap, chargers... only capped at around 4000
Also the other thing is that I have solar that back feed the grid without any battery. I hear that the solar microinverters sense if the power is not clean as grid, they don't back feed. If that is true, using traditional generator might make installation a lot easier in solar setups. Though I wonder if inverter generators can simulate the grid, I don't have much idea in that and electricians I talked to didn't have any idea as well.

There's also availability to consider. Storing propane is easier than gas, but you need more space. Gas doesn't store well, but may be more readily available.
The great thing about this generator is that you can hot-swap between the two while the generator is running.
I do think propane is the easier solution overall but next storm I will fill up my 5 gallon portable gasoline tank. Worst case I dump it in the car later

I once converted a 15K steady state Gas only generator to dual Gas/NG. It worked fine, no difference in output. Needed a 1" quick disconnect, though.
One important thing about generators, look up the THD spec. If it's over 5%, it's an inferior product.
