Couldn’t as for better
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
I purchased this generator in 2019. It always starts, always works, and it’s a beast . I live on a small farm. I secured the generator to a small utility trailer along with my Lincoln (cracker box) welder. I have used it to weld dozens of times and the generator doesn’t even breathe hard. It is very fuel efficient, running air compressors, saws , and any power tools you can imagine and all at once, for as long as you need it to. I used it to build my house, my barns, and my fences etc. it also serves as backup power for my home during outages. It runs my heat pump in the winter and my air conditioning in the summer, my computers, my tv, and lighting with no issues. It has done this faithfully for 7 years … highly recommend if you need a large generator at a decent price. ... show more

Excellent Generator
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
Excellent Generator. Are there better ones? Of course but this thing is a beast, and absolutely reliable! I haven't used it in two years just sat covered in the garage. We had a massive unexpected wind event and the Pulsar fired right up with the push button. I was shocked the only thing I needed to do was change the oil and she has been killing it for 3 days, on propane with no issues! ... show more

Powerful generator at a very good price
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
Review Image by A Customer

After the hard freeze we had in February, I decided it was time to purchase an emergency standby generator. I looked at many models and finally decided on this unit. It does have the power to run our whole house in either, winter or summer. It has the ability to run on either gas or LP. Like all of the other reviews, this unit is somewhat louder than competing models, but this is just for emergency purposes, so this is a compromise we are willing to make. One thing that I did notice was even after putting in a couple of gallons of gasoline, the fuel gauge had not moved any. Suspecting that something had gotten knocked loose in shipment, I removed the gauge to inspect and did not find any problems. Upon further diagnosis, I realized the arm connecting the gauge to the float was too short and not allowing the float to go down all the way to the bottom of the tank; it was 1.5 inches from the bottom of the tank at the lowest point. I have made a new arm that replaces the original one which now allows the float to reach the bottom of the tank and will now give me an accurate tank reading. Other than that, I am pleased with this unit. Update: I have had this unit for a while and while we have not yet needed it, I thought I would add a couple of screen shots of a USB scope and the waveform. There are two, one of our household utility line power and the other is of the generator. From the various loads I ran, there was not any noticeable difference in the sine wave. I am very impressed with this output for this class of an inexpensive generator. This gives me the confidence to connect it to our house without doing any damage to sensitive appliances. ... show more

Worked without issues
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
Ive had this unit for close to two years now. It stays outside under cover. I was skeptical and did a lot of research before buying anything. Ive used the unit twice. Once on gas and once on propane. It started up first try both times. Its a generator so it will create some noise but I am unable to hear it from inside the house. I have 2400 sq ft house with two A/c units. I had it run to my circuit board so it takes a minute to shut off all the circuits and then switch to the unit power and turn the circuits I want to use on but not unreasonably. I ran almost everything in the house. Right after purchase the price dropped and I was sent a refund for the difference. I would have preferred to have a Generic automatic on unit but I don't have a gas line to the house and don't want to get a large tank. Overall this is a very good unit. Not good for the price just good in general. ... show more

Runs well on propane, adjust rpm for proper frequency
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
I won't use gasoline to avoid fuel storage and longevity issues for times it doesn't get used, but propane works great with this generator. I ran it on my home circuit for 6-7 hours on a 20lb tank. It varies but it was about a constant 2500 watt load. I did have issues initially with the generator outputting too high s frequency. I understand it does this to compensate for a full load and it would settle around 59hz when it is fully loaded. But I was getting 64.5hz with no load, and my home load still didn't bring it below 62hz. This caused my UPS battery backup's throughout the home to trip over to battery mode and never charge on generator power. After some research I found you can adjust the RPM with a screwdriver and a wrench via the linkage to the carb. I turned it to be at 60.2hz while it running my usual home load. Now the UPS's accept the power and no longer trip. It starts up quickly and easily with push button or pull start. Assembly was easy as well. It will come on a pallet from a truck with a lift gate, so be prepared to have a way to move it or assemble where they leave it. Tips for oil changes, I cut a small jug the height of the frame and slid it under for easy draining with no mess. I ran mine for the 5 hours they recommended with synthetic 5w30, then I drained and replaced with the same oil, ran it for 5 minutes, then changed it again so I know it's ready for service and all the break in metal is removed. I think for $200 more I could have gotten a similar one with a remote start, I probably would have rather done this but it's working just fine for me. ... show more

Exactly what I needed
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
Purchased this as an emergency generator for the major appliances in the house, during a power outage. Saw the many positive reviews and it was at a good price point for the rated output. The assembly was easy, requiring only a few basic tools. Battery was charged and I was easily able to start it up after a few seconds priming. Very easy to move around and store until needed. Update : Even happier .. After purchasing this generator, we had an electrician move the essential circuits to a sub panel and install a safety disconnect, so it wouldn't back feed electricity to the pole. We lost power during a snow storm and this generator was able to handle the demand for 2 days. Well pump, microwave, 2 refrigerators, as well as lights, TV and computers. Occasionally, we would hear the engine rev as there was more demand, but no brown outs. Most of the time was on gasoline, but early in the morning we were running low and it was still snowing heavily, so I switched over to propane (hose and regulator were supplied from manufacturer). Again, ran with no problems. After 3-4 hours, I did see that the propane tank and regulator were icing over and started to run a little heavier, but I think this is more related to propane, not the generator itself (it was in the mid 20's F outside). I don't think this would have happened if it were warmer out (for example during a summer storm). Once we refueled and switched back to gasoline, it ran fine, again. Very easy to switch between fuels. ... show more

The best bang for your buck, right here!
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
Review Image by Jason Pasquale
The most important thing for me when buying a generator is the usefulness of it. This Pulsar machine makes enough current to handle anything I can throw at it. It has four regular 120 outlets plus a couple different 240 outlets for larger tools. There’s even a separate 12 volt dc connection for smaller stuff and for charging a car battery. There is a little digital display that shows functions and a service reminder. There is an oil level light and each outlet has its own breaker. Finally, this is a dual-fuel generator. When the power goes out at home, I can put this generator to work right away and not have to worry about filling up a gas can. If needed, I can just grab a propane tank from my grill and have it up and running on clean, smoke-free propane in less than a minute. Everything about it is useful and not complicated. The next most important thing is the look of it. The thing is solidly built, but with an open tube-frame so you can get to everything easily. The third point that is important to me is the color. I carry this in my work truck. The last thing I want is some brightly colored attraction in the back of my truck while I’m working. This generator is a nice blend of gray and matte black. It looks good, but it blends in with the rest of the stuff in my truck. I think it is a very good value for the price I paid ... show more
