  • 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

  • Powerful generator at a very good price
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
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

  • Great reliablity
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
Have a generator that was 12000kW. Twice as heavy, drank twice as much fuel, and this little tiger beat it on all counts. Dual fuel is the best 👌. Have two hundred and sixty three hours in use, for a month. Changed the oil four times. Goes through about five gallon of gas in seven hours in approximately eight thousand five hundred watt load. Never heard of pulsar before, but I tell ya can't go wrong with this little gem. ... show more

  • So far so good

Hooked up to whole house. Power went out and did the job nicely. A/c and all. A little loud. Will check into a muffler.

  • Quality product, great customer support
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
Unit is quality in appearance and build. Haven't had to use it in an emergency yet but I've been running it weekly and just did the break in oil change. The start switch failed recently, and after a short back and forth with the seller a new one is on its' way. As a pro mechanic it's no problem for me to install. And speaking of starting: for such a large engine the rope start is surprisingly easy: three pulls got it started in thirty degree weather. For a product that should last years if not decades support is important. ... show more

  • The best bang for your buck, right here!
Style: Dual Fuel Generator
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
