I've had this genny a year now. I'm here to tell you, this is an unequivocal piece of garbage. I was attracted to the dual fuel and supposed wattage capacity. A genny of this capacity should easily run a 15k BTU RV camper with a soft start installed...but it doesn't. Well, not consistently. If it's cool outside, the genny does fine, but you don't need the AC when it's cool. This genny is Loud. Much louder than Honda counterpart. This genny is near impossible to restart when it's hot. This must be a known issue, there are special instructions on how to start the Gen on propane when it's hot, doesn't help at all when you're on gasoline. Once you get it restarted when it's hot, this genny will idle erratically even without a load connected. A generator that cannot provide consistent, flat, power is useless.

Full disclosure- i've only owned this 4000W Duel Fuel generator for 3 weeks, but I've already had some good use from it and I've been very impressed thus far! I bought this to power my truck camper, and specifically my A/C on the truck camper when it's very hot. I had been carrying a 2000W Firman gas-only generator prior, and while I can run the A/C on the camper from that, it is nearly maxxed out when I do so I don't think I could run it for long if necessary, and there is the issue of carrying gas. The storage compartment of my camper requires laying the generator almost on its side to get it in/out of the compartment, and I've had gasoline leak into the compartment prior when doing so. No Bueno!!So I bought this generator, which is virtually the same size and weight as my Firman (which otherwise I've been very impressed with as well, btw) but allows me to operate from the on-board propane tanks located in my truck camper. It's clean and convenient to do so, and this generator runs pretty quietly given it can put out 3,200W continuously and 4,000 surge watts if necessary! It also produces a clean sine wave signal, so I don't have to worry about frying my cellphone, laptops, etc while charging. It is a few decibels louder than a Honda 2000i or 2200i, but close to 2 x's the output for a few decibels more. And at lighter loads on eco mode it is still very quiet (which is where it will operate most of the time I'm using it; less than 50% load.)I bought it and broke it in and tucked it away in the camper to take to the Sierra for one last skiing weekend, and lo and behold, it saved my butt when my diesel fuel gelled and I had to run the Pulsar for 3 hours to power my truck's block heater to get it started! My Firman could have handled the 700-800W draw as well, but again, nice to pull it out, hook it to the propane extension and fire it up. On that note, with propane I do need to give it a pull or two on choke before it starts on propane, but it runs perfectly once I do so.I'm at the 5 hour mark so I'll change the oil again tomorrow which should be the last maintenance I need for awhile. I really can't believe I found a propane generator with twice the capacity as my Firman 2k/1,600W gas generator for $500 (caught a sale on Amazon.) If my experience changes over time I'll update, but so far I'm very satisfied with this Pulsar Dual Fuel generator!

2024 update : first extended power outage of the winter and I pulled this out and it started up in 3 easy pulls on 1/2 choke and powered my fridges for 37 min before the power company got powered restored after i ran my extension cords. HA. it ran great for another hour in the rain before I put it away. This is all off of natural gas, so no gunked up carb.This is a 50lb 3KW (4kw surge) generator that runs great, so far. I have not had an emergency that requires long use, but I ran it for a couple hours each over a few days for break in with oil changes in between. It is powerful : i tested a space heater and some other gear to put it over 2KW load, and it help for an hour no problem. My neighbor thought i was running an air compressor and not a generator. It is quiet enough to have a conversation nearby but not as quiet as a honda. It is >50% as powerful.I have only run this on propane. Getting it started on propane was a pain the first time until I figured out the proper choke setting. The full choke setting won't start, but you have to put it at full choke until you get a partial start, then put it 1/2 between run and full choke. There is no detent, but it works to start and it cranks right up with the mid position.first oil change after 1 hour was pretty shiny. following oil change after a couple more hours was much better.
