I bought this generator after the first safety power shut off here in Nor Cal so I would have power the next time. The generator arrived on time. I dodged the 2nd shutoff, but am now in the end stages of shutoff number 3. The unit was easy to unpack and load with the oil that came with it. They also give you a funnel and some other accessories for hardwiring the unit if you wish to do so. I filled the gas tank and she fired right up. I then plugged in the fridge, internet modem, TV, and some lights. It powered then all no problem. After 4 hours I shut off the unit to go to bed and woke up at 5:00 am to refuel and run it again until 9 am when I planned to shut it off and leave for the day. I figured I would be adding another gallon but it only took about a quart! This thing is efficient and is keeping me out if the dark. I recommend changing the oil after 5 hours like the manual says. Must be some sort if break in assist. It was very easy to do. After that it is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours. Great product. Read full review

Added oil and gas to generator it started on the first pull. Generator ran smooth and quiet however when I plugged a blow dryer into outlet it wouldn’t run dryer, Wiggled the plug a little bit and the dryer started cutting on and off. Obviously there was some loose connection behind Front panel. Rather than pay shipping to send generator back to California from Florida I decided to takeoff Front panel And take a look. Found a broken wire connection that was spot welded or soldered on breaker terminal next to outlet. Installed flag style push on type connector,have only run the unit about a half an hourSince repair. Time will tell if this unit is good or not,seems like they missed on the quality control on my particular unit.

So I bought this little dandy for camping, music festivals, boating etc. I cannot express how well it works! No problem at all running the 5000 btu ac in our camper. Ever using the energy saver feature, which by the way working amazingly well. Our last night at Bonnaroo we were completely beat down and hot so we retired early at around 8 p.m. at which time I filled the fuel tank at 9 a.m. the next morning it was still running strong! In fact, I have yet had to get up at night to fill it on any camping trip. It is very quite and easy to be around. We love it and are very happy with the purchase.

Power outages are becoming common in calif. I have a 4500 watt that runs everything. It is very loud and uses a gallon of gas every 2+ hours. I wanted something quiet and runs the necessities. This generator fits the bill. I wired it into the house circuit. It runs the frig, basement freezer, TV, lights, computer and coffee maker. It is quiet and has always started on the first easy pull. A six year old girl could start it. I broke it in for a couple of hours and let it run dry. When the power went out and I filled it. Ran the house for 9 hours and I shut it off and went to bed. Next morning I filled it and it only took just over a half gallon. I was amazed. Using little gas is important. You may not have a lot of gas on hand when the power goes out and the local gas stations are likely closed. Haven't used the big generator since. Read full review

I couldn't be happier having bought this Pulsar generator. I opened the box, put in the oil that it comes with, filled it with gas and it started on the second pull. (I didn't have the choke on for the first pull). It is so quiet that if there is any other noise in the vicinity you can't tell it's running. I took it to my sailboat and plugged it into the shore power, then turned on the boat three bank battery charger, some cabin lights, a Ryobi battery charger, and the TV. While the shore power was plugged in I plugged in my skilsaw worm drive saw into the second AC receptacle on the generator. The skilsaw draws 13 amps. I held my breath and pulled the trigger to cut some marine ply. The Pulsar revved up and smoothed out without skipping a beat. I ran it for three hours the first day. Hoorah, I bought a Pulsar.Read full review
