Pulsar PGD40ISCO Ultra Light Quiet 4000W Portable Gas Inverter Generator

I needed this as a 2nd light-duty backup generator for using around the yard, utility sheds and a small RV trailer. so far, it has also powered my 2 whole-house pellet stoves, several lights and other other light duty appliances in the house, and will certainly be able to power my trailer except for possibly the air conditioner. this is a filtered power supply-my pellet stove with their motherboards need this and will not run off my regular unfiltered generator, and it worked perfectly. Not the quietest, but not the noisiest either. Also portable enough that i can carry it with one hand anywhere on my property to work remotely for electric chain saws, lighting or my work sheds and still position it right on my decks for running temporary power safely into the house. and unlike my other generators, this one so far has started up every time, no problem. lastly, it is well-made, looks like it can take alot of abuse and still work well. A good buy, well worth it

I bought this to power my camper at my sons kart races. At it's current price it's a great value. After a 10hr break in, we ran it onsite for around 36hrs straight, running a 13500btu AC with a soft start. It had no issues with the load and even handled the microwave with the AC once. I was concerned about the noise as it's not very quiet, especially when running AC. It's less noisy than an open frame generator but twice as loud as the Predator 3500 or Honda eu2000 the trailers next to me were using. I also had to refill the fuel frequently, it probably would only go 5-6 hrs running the AC intermittently overnight, and 4 max during the day. Overall I'm super happy with it for what it cost. It's amazing how capable it is for the size.Update: Now in my second summer hauling this gen around to run my camper's AC in the brutal summer heat. Hit 210 hours last weekend with not a single issue. We run it typically 48 to 72 hrs straight on pump gas. Fuel tank size is annoying but other that, no complaints. Just don't over fill the fuel tank, change the oil frequently and store it with ethanol free gas.Update #2: Now into my third summer depending on this little generator to keep us cool at the kart track. 410 hours and it's still running like a top. I replaced the spark plug this year along with an air filter cleaning but no other service. After each long weekend I change the oil which takes 5mins and make sure to run ethanol free fuel (or drain the fuel). Now using a Maxpeeingrods extended run pump to extend runtime. At this point this generator owes me nothing.

We have a camper with a 30 amp circuit and this starts on first pole every time and the AC unit fires up perfectly fine with this generator

Seamless integration into daily life. Quiet, energy-efficient, and designed for long-term convenience.

The media could not be loaded. I added photos of what items are included. The two plugs are not adapters. They are in case you need to convert what you have. The funnel is for the oil and works well. Based on what another reviewer said I didn’t pour all the oil in right away although the container only has 15 fl oz and that’s what the generator needs. I probably put in 12oz then tested the level and in the end used about 14 oz. I did pull the start rope a little thinking it may help disperse the oil inside but I don’t know that to be true on this motor. I’ll test the level after the gen cools from its test run to see if I can fit the rest of the oil in. The spark plug tool doesn’t seem to fit well, I was going to check the gap but couldn’t get it out with that tool. The screw driver is duel ended, flat and phillips. It started with no issue. It’s louder than expected and vibrates. The video is my attempt to show the vibration and volume but I know those don’t come across well on a phone camera. If you can zoom in or look at the rope handle you can see the vibration better. I downloaded a decibel app and standing above it with phone at normal use height on the exhaust end it read 86db. Each 5 additional feet I moved away it read 2 db less. 5 feet was 84db and so on. I only tested household items I do not have the rv near by to test the air conditioner just yet. I’m giving it 5 stars because I haven’t found anything really wrong that warrants a bad review but if I do I’ll edit as needed. There is one thing, the plastic case isn’t snapping closed very well on the top, I added that photo too. I’ll take a look inside once it cools to see if something is broken or loose.

It started up on the very first pull and Then we plugged in our 30 amp tiny Toyota motorhome just to see how the air conditioner would work and it worked perfectly. The sound is very quiet for a generator and that’s just on regular mode. The low Eco mode is even quieter. I have no complaints. Hopefully I won’t have any later, but I think I picked the best one. It fits right into our generator compartment And I will highly suggest this product.

Ordered In May 2023 before hurricane season. Didn't even open the box. This year, 2024, hurricane Milton, had to open the box and use the generator. Imagine a brand new generator never opened, putting gas in and it pouring out the bottom.After speaking to Pulsar, due to it being over a year old, nothing is covered but parts. So in my opinion the generator wasdefective when it left the company.If you buy this brand or any brand generator, open it and be sure it works!

Very very gooog
