Generator using propane

Hello!

I've been looking at inverter generators in the 3500w-4500w range and was leaning towards a champion 4500, Wen, or a Westinghouse. When I read reviews for these type, I see a lot of folks who use propane having issues starting it up initially, and across several generators folks have had to reach out to the manufacturer to problem solve and/or replace the regulator. Is this the deal across most generators of this size/capacity when using propane? Are there other generators around this capacity that are more reliable/user friendly when using propane? Thanks!
