Updated Review! Original Purchase Date 8/14/2017. Still works great!
Update 1/20/2024** I'm updating this review because after 7 years this little Pulsar 1,200W generator is still reliable (I originally paid $143). So this past week we were expected to have a winter storm with temperatures in the single digits, so I got both my generators out of the shop and made sure they would start. I last started the Pulsar generator about 6 months ago. This past week I did have to clean the spark plug, but once I did that with just a few pulls of the cord it started right up! Simply amazing. As mentioned before, I only use gasoline that is free of ethanol and I always treat the gas with a fuel stabilizer AND TURN THE GAS OFF AND LET THE ENGINE RUN UNTIL THE CARBURETOR IS EMPTY for best restarting results. I really don't use this little generator much anymore since I have upgraded to a duel fuel generator that I only run on propane, but it really is impressive how long and how well this generator has worked. Update June 9th 2018 (I give it 5 stars now), I've had this little gen for around 10 months now and it has never let me down, not once. I do make sure and cut the gas valve off each time I'm finished using it and let it run until the carburetor is empty (completely). I haven't had any problem starting this generator after it has set for over a month. Just make sure and use good gas (no ethanol unless you use a stabilizer in your gas ** just avoid ethanol in all 2-stroke engines***please*** you'll be glad you did) and always run the carburetor empty after each use. I recently (last weekend) had to use this generator to replace a broken hinge on the entrance gate to our property. It was sure nice being able to run this out of the back of my truck while it powered my electric tools. *** I received the Pulsar PG1202s 1200 watt 2-stroke generator on August 22, 2017. I bought this generator hoping that it would be an inexpensive power backup to our Renogy Solar Panels. First off, I paid $138 and change for this unit, but I took advantage of the Prime shipping and standard delivery (received about $6 off the purchase price for the delayed delivery option, which turned out not to be a delay after all!) The generator was packaged well with foam inserts within a retail box packaged in the Amazon box. Overall the quality looks to be really good. The finish is good, all instructions were well placed, written, and made sense. I added a little premium unleaded gas and 2 stroke engine oil to the tank at 50:1 ratio as recommended, switched the choke lever to choke, pulled the recoil starting rope a few times and the little generator started right up. I have ran this generator for about 6 hours now simply breaking it in. I applied a few light loads, a few heavy loads, and ran it some with no load and it performed well each time. Note; I did notice that the voltage fluctuated a lot at low rpm/load levels (my lights were dimming and getting bright). It's not real loud-depending on where you are standing and I really didn't notice much of a noise increase during heavy loads. Time will tell if it will last, but right now it seems like a very good product and an excellent price for backup power. Items I powered up with this generator. Drill press, large shop fan, band saw, bench grinder, angle grinder, radio, and 3 fluorescent lights. I ran all these at the same time, basically it powered my shop. However, it would not start my pancake compressor (13 amp) and I don't think you need to run anything to sensitive with this generator unless you clean up the (power) sine wave.

Read the instructions.
This is basically a small lawnmower motor with electrical outlets. Follow the instructions. 40:1 gas oil ratio is 3.2 fluid ounces of 2 cycle oil per gallon. Don't start with anything plugged in, and unplug before you cut the unit off. I used a Sawzall to cut some stumps down as a test run, and worked perfect. It does idle quietly, and revs up when I was cutting. As it should. There's a chart of what the unit is recommended for in the instruction booklet. Read it thoroughly, and you should have a pretty good small use backup generator.

DO NOT BUY!!!! REPEAT DO NOT BUY
After a rocky start with a delayed delivery due to bad weather, I finally received my little gennie. After the usual un-boxing ceremony with my son, it was time to mix up the fuel, 30-1 mix. This you cannot be mistaken about because it is in yr face everywhere. There is also a handy measure cup attached underneath the fuel tank lid. So after reading the instructions (recommended) we fueled her up and pulled the starter recoil chord. It fired up on 3rd pull. Noise I can say is acceptable. We have some other generators in the moorings that run all night and I cannot say this is any more noisy. After letting it run for some time we connected my sons gaming computer which draws around 220W and kept this running for about 4 hours. I then plugged it to my pro-sport 20 battery charger to which is currently used for my Renogy (worst companyEVER) 200AH useless AGM battery. It handled both the charger and pc no problem. Overall, so far impressed with this little generator. Big heart in a small package! Ok, so, a lot has happened since. So yes, the gennie works hard, but on the 2nd day it started producing smoke and pushing out oil through the exhaust system and dripping onto the exhaust manifold. I asked support re this and was immediately told I would get a replacement. Nice talks and I even offered to send pics so that they could see where the oil came from to send to product development. Well!! Not so simple!! For the replacement, I then received the message that I should send this back, they would inspect this, and only then start to process a replacement! Also some notes about removing the oil etc. So now, I should sit without a generator for about 3 weeks for all this process to take place! This was totally un acceptable. After much back and forth discussion, they came up with another solution! I should destroy my unit completely, send them pictures, and then they would send a replacement. In what world does this company live?? They sell a product that is defective, offer to replace it, and then come with all these stories! It is like they are holding me responsible for the defect of their equipment, which was paid for. What are they thinking, I am trying to steal from them? Get a free unit??? The mentality is way and over beyond anything experienced before. If this is their customer support policy on the inferior products they sell, then anybody is much better off looking elsewhere. Would NEVER recommend this product or company to anybody. DO NOT waste your money!!! Update: Cheap and nasty. It gets worse, this generator has now negatively affected my main battery systems on the boat. I also tried to use this to recharge my eco-flow river pro. The readings were all over the place and the eco-flow did not like it. Had to unplug this asap. It would be suffice to say that the power produced by this generator is NOT in any way smooth or clean. Maybe for a picnic or camping with really nothing special connected to it, it may suffice, but as a real tool, it is definitely not worth the time or money! The noise it created also increased exponentionaly over the days until it is completely unbearable. It has now stopped working altogether!

Genial
Title: Compact and Affordable Backup Power Solution The Pulsar PG1202S 1200W portable generator is a practical option for light backup power and outdoor use. It starts easily for most users and provides enough energy for small appliances, tools, or camping equipment. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to transport and store, which is a big advantage for emergencies or travel. However, it can be a bit noisy and is not suitable for heavy-duty or high-power devices. Overall, it’s a budget-friendly and reliable choice for basic power needs.

Not a bad generator for the price!
I bought this generator over A month or two ago. Only needed it temporarily, so wasn't too worried about a lot of wattage output. The one thing that was a very pleasant supprise was that i could run my 2 fans my desktop with dual monitors, and my little lamp , as well as charge my phone and 2 battery packs/ As well as ru8n electric cord to my friend's place where he ran a fan, lamp. 32" tv and a vcr or dvd player... This little 1200 watt peak generator not only did that, but where my friend's 2000 watt 4stroke generator would run both placers, it was always dimming the lights and almost cutting my pc off at times---where as this 1200 pulsar generator never dimmed the lights once doing it all.. the 4 main drawbacks i found--- #1 would not run my hotplate, #2 will not run space heater big enough to heat normal size 10' x12' ,, and #4 and the worst of all of it is that it cost me almost $10 a day just to run the generator from around 6:30pm to 1 to 3 am in the morning everyday. so that's almost $70 a week($3.00 or more for 2cycle mix and about $7 in gas every night... But all in all i still got mine, will use it as needed and if need be ill buy another one of these gems

Nice little generator
The Pulsar generator arrived intact as described and started almost right out of the box on the 2nd pull. I am completely pleased, and would buy it again without hesitation. It is somewhat quieter than I expected. It appears to have a larger muffler, which helps the exhaust noise, but also has other noise from occasional misfires and noise from the engine casing itself that a muffler can't help with. Note that this generator is rated at 900 watts continuous, and 1200W for short duration. I tested it with a Kill-A-Watt meter and a 450 watt load. Under no load, the voltage was about 122V at 62 Hz, under 1/2 load (450W) it was 120V and about 60 Hz. This is acceptable performance. It is an attractive unit. The instructions are relatively terse, but mostly adequate. The only assembly required was mounting the handle with the 2 supplied screws using a standard phillips screwdriver. It comes with a 12V cable leading to alligator clips to charge a 12V battery. It also comes with 2 110V plugs, not sure why these would be included since the owner will already have plugs on whatever you want to run. It comes with a spark plug wrench. Gas/oil mixture is 40:1. There are no specs as to what 2-cycle oil should be used. I used the standard Briggs & Stratton 2-cycle oil. I also added Sta-Bil gas stabilizer to the mixture in the gas can to minimize gumming if the gas is not used right away. After running a few minutes, I stopped it and restarted the generator with no problem. The recoil starter pulls fairly easily, but the compression is high enough that the string does not pull super smooth, as on some lawnmowers made special for easy pulling. The recoil cord can get caught at the top of a stroke and kick back a bit, so don't hold on too tight. This is all normal for small engines. The owner's manual is available online from the Pulsar website. I read the manual before ordering the unit.

Be careful
It works about 9-12 hours a tank. Low power however couldn't power an air fryer. However the ease of service is impressive. Quick start easy operation not hard to clean.

Amazing little machine
I don't write reviews. I'm writing this time because this little gizmo is outstanding. My first test was to start my compressor. I was shocked to see it perform this operartion. This is the second year to take it camping with our RV. We use the Onan for massive electrical use, then switch to the little gen to run all day for most 110 watt usage. It powers all our devices for communications and work at home systems. UPDATE: Although the generator is working perfectly and we are using it regularly since we are at our campground with our RV, we have had a minor failure on the machine. The heat shield has fallen off the exhaust. Looks like the rivets broke. I might try to restore it when we return to my home shop.
