Pulsar PG2200BiS Review

6.4Fair · out of 10Rated from the listing's specs, no buyer reviews yet

Written from the listing's specs, not from our own use · How we rate

If you're after 800 running watts, the Pulsar PG2200BiS delivers, with the choice of gasoline or propane and an inverter engine that idles down at light load on top. Think of it for a quiet campsite and a fridge during an outage: 6.4/10 on what its listing documents.

800 running watts

That's the running figure the listing states, on gasoline. That covers the fridge, lights, the router and phone chargers if you add them up first; central air and a 240 V well pump are beyond it.

What it has going for it

What changes at the campsite and in an outage

Gasoline or propane. Propane keeps for years in a sealed tank and won't gum up the carburetor between storms; gasoline gives you more watts. Propane is rated lower, so find that figure in the manual.

Inverter. The engine speeds up and slows down with the load, so it is quieter and thriftier at 3 a.m. when only the fridge and a lamp are on. The clean sine wave is kinder to laptops, TVs and the furnace control board.

Campsite or outage night?

At the campsite: it's an inverter, so the engine idles down at light loads, the listing states 60 dB and two can be linked with a parallel kit, per the listing. Check the campground's generator hours before you pack it.

On outage night: with 800 running watts, the Pulsar PG2200BiS handles the fridge, a few lamps and the chargers. Anything on a 240 V breaker is a job for a bigger unit.

Great for you if…

  • You need lights, phones and a laptop, not the fridge
  • You'd rather store propane tanks than cans of gas
  • Laptops, TVs or a furnace board will be plugged in

Skip it if…

  • You never want to pull a cord: the listing names no electric start
  • You want central air or a 240 V well pump on it: 800 running watts won't do that
  • You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet

Outlets, fuel and what's in the box

A better fit for your load list?

Well pump or central air on the list? The GENMAX GM2000i (6.9/10) is rated 1,600 running watts.

Neighbours close by? The Westinghouse 1,500W Inverter (6.9/10) states 52 dB.

Our take

The verdict

The Pulsar PG2200BiS earns its place with 800 running watts and the choice of gasoline or propane. No buyer reviews yet, so the Pulsar PG2200BiS has to win you over on paper. The catch with this Pulsar inverter generator: no electric start in the listing, while most picks here have one. We'd pick it if you need lights, phones and a laptop, not the fridge; otherwise, put it next to the DuroMax XP2300iH first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Fill it with oil before the first start, then run it for a few minutes outside with a small load.

The first outage

Pull the cord, let it warm up, then add loads one at a time, the biggest motor first. Propane or gas: decide before the storm and have the hose and the tank ready.

Between storms

Run it every month or so for 20 minutes. On propane you avoid stale gas in the carburetor; on gas, add stabiliser or run it dry before storage. Our maintenance schedule has the full list.

Upkeep

First oil change after the break-in hours in the manual, then on schedule. Air filter and spark plug once a season, and a cover for the months it sits.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Pulsar PG2200BiS, check your load list: 800 running watts have to cover everything you run at once, motor surges included.

Before you buy

Your load list

Read the label on each appliance (or the manual) for its running watts, and note which ones have a motor. Our running vs starting watts guide explains why the motor ones need the extra surge.

How it reaches the house

Plan on heavy-duty extension cords to the appliances, or ask an electrician which inlet and switch would match its outlets. Our interlock vs transfer switch guide compares the two routes.

Where it will run

Outside only, about 20 ft from doors, windows and vents, exhaust pointing away. Pick the spot now, before the storm. Our CO safety and placement guide has the details.

Fuel for three days

Gasoline goes stale in a few months without stabiliser; propane keeps. Check the propane rating in the manual if propane is your plan. Our fuel storage guide covers storage.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Pulsar PG2200BiS any good?

We rate it 6.4/10 (fair). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

How many watts does the Pulsar PG2200BiS deliver?

The listing or manual states 800 W running, usually for gasoline. Size your load list against the running watts and keep the peak for motor starts; propane and natural gas ratings are lower. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements (our sizing calculator turns your loads into a running and peak pair).

Which fuels does the Pulsar PG2200BiS run on?

The listing names gasoline and propane. Output differs by fuel, so check the per-fuel running watts in the manual and whether the hoses you need come in the box. Run it outdoors only, away from doors, windows and vents.

What do you get with the Pulsar PG2200BiS?

Its listing states 800 running watts, the choice of gasoline or propane, clean inverter power, a stated 60 dB and parallel capability. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how loud it is in your driveway and how it handles your well pump's surge can't be read from a listing.

What should I check before ordering the Pulsar PG2200BiS?

Your load list: read the label on each appliance (or the manual) for its running watts, and note which ones have a motor. Our running vs starting watts guide explains why the motor ones need the extra surge. How it reaches the house: plan on heavy-duty extension cords to the appliances, or ask an electrician which inlet and switch would match its outlets. Our interlock vs transfer switch guide compares the two routes. Where it will run: outside only, about 20 ft from doors, windows and vents, exhaust pointing away. Pick the spot now, before the storm. Our CO safety and placement guide has the details. Fuel for three days: gasoline goes stale in a few months without stabiliser; propane keeps. Check the propane rating in the manual if propane is your plan. Our fuel storage guide covers storage.

Where can I buy the Pulsar PG2200BiS?

We link to the exact listing on Amazon, where today's price, stock and seller apply. It is an affiliate link, and it has no effect on the rating.

Have you used the Pulsar PG2200BiS yourselves?

No, we haven't used it ourselves. Everything on this page comes from its listing, read line by line and weighed with our published formula, plus our editors' read of how it compares with its rivals.
