Style: 10000 Watts - Dual Fuel - Inverter
Pretty good for the price. I have another closed frame inverter, which is "better". It's quieter, comes with a power supply to charge the battery, is A LOT quieter, includes more breakers, has automatic choke, has a digital display with more information, more ports... but it's also twice the weight and twice the cost for the same power output! I bought this guy as a backup, but it's now my primary because it's easier to deal with, and all that other stuff doesn't matter as long as it supplies the power I need during an outage. If I had it to do over again, I would have bought two of these. I have used this one twice for prolonged outages and it works great. EDIT: I live in an area with a lot of dead ash trees that are tacking out power pretty much any time the wind blows. I've had several outages lasting double digits. On propane, this gen takes 2 or 3 pulls to start. I suspect it's because I do not first bleed the propane hose. I always forget, and by the time I remember, I already have the houe tightened, so it's easier to just cycle a few starts to get the gas flowing than to go find my wrench. It's still loud and still a bare bones inverter, but it's pretty darned reliable. I ran it 2 more times since this review was made, for over 12 hours each time, and it never shut off once.

Style: 9500w Tri Fuel Inverter Generator
I wanted a quiet, multi-fuel, portable, whole house generator. And that's exactly what I got. An early warning though - this unit is not light. Don't think that you are going to throw it into the back of a pickup truck and like you would a more portable unit unless you have some help. Having said that, it does have 4 wheels and wheel-barrow-style handles to move it around.....and moving it is not a problem. When I need to use it, I will just roll it out of my garage and plug it into my electrical panel. It arrived on a skid just days after I ordered it. Exactly as advertised. Once you cut the box away it's easy to roll it off the skid.....just use part of the box as a ramp. It was well packaged with no damage at all. I read all directions, hooked my 20lb propane tank to it, and it started right up (you need to add oil first). Easy step-by-step. Anyone can do it. When my electricians arrived to install a transfer switch next to my electrical panel, they were intrigued that this unit could be powered by propane, natural gas, or gasoline. Once they finished the installation, we hooked up the generator to the house and turned it on. My entire house worked without a hitch. I have a 3,000 square foot house and turned everything I could on to see how much wattage was being used. I don't have the specs, but the electrician said I had room to spare. All this while just having it run by propane. The unit comes with the hoses for propane and natural gas. I have an outdoor grill on natural gas so all I had to do was purchase an expansion coupler to accommodate the bigger 1/2" gas fitting. This unit is quiet when running, but keep in mind that it still makes noise....mind your neighbors. I highly recommend this Pulsar generator. It was less expensive than the "higher-end" brands, but it is a great product. I won't be using for anything other than in case of power outages, so I'm not concerned about issues with over-use. It does seem like this product would last a long time. It is solidly built.

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.

Style: Dual Fuel Generator
I have had this generator for 4 years now. I used this thing on a job site for 2 weeks with a bunch of framers plugged in to it no problem. I have lost power at my house multiple times like (8) due to multiple storms for extended period of time. This has ran my 15,000 BTU A/C and all the lights and outlets for my house and shop no problem. During Beryl we were out for 5 days and this thing was very handy and worked quite awesome. Ran cook top along with fans and window unit and never skipped a bit. It ran for 5 days straight. On a different storm 3 days straight. I have a set up to where it runs my house as long as I keep all large 220 circuits off except for cook top. Everything works no problem. It is a bit heavy and the wheels come in handy but you need 2 people to get this into a truck Just FYI. PS I disconnect the battery when I am not using it and have yet to throw a charger on it. The electric start comes in very handy.
