Zoom on the Pulsar PG2200BiS

In summary, the Pulsar PG2200BiS is a compact and lightweight portable inverter generator especially useful for:

• Camping and tailgating hobbyists looking for a portable power source
• DIYers who wish to improve their efficiency with tools

The subsequent sections will explore in detail its power characteristics, the diverse outlets it provides, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it offers.

Power & Run Time

The Pulsar PG2200BiS

With its dual-fuel technology, the Pulsar PG2200BiS delivers 120V, and offers power and flexibility. Running on gasoline, it boasts a running wattage of 1,800W and a peak wattage of 2,200W. When powered by propane, it delivers 1,600 running watts and 2,000 peak watts. Moreover, since it is parallel capable (PGiPAIRB2 parallel kit (opens in a new tab) not included), its power may be doubled if linked to a second compatible unit.

Enjoying a noise rating of 60 dBA (just as noisy as background music), this inverter generator gets running thanks to a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism.

The running time of the PG2200BiS, with its 1.2 gallon fuel capacity, can reach around 8 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.15 GPH). With propane, it can reach around 20 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.24 GPH).

As the PG2200BiS produces a clean sine wave, with a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), sensitive electronics may be plugged in the AC outlets safely.

Outlets

The control panel features the upcoming 2 AC outlets:

Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R)

Moreover, it presents 1 DC outlet: there's a 5V USB port with which you may charge electronics, for example mobile phones or tablets, conveniently.

Portability

As the Pulsar PG2200BiS is an inverter generator, its encased design (L18 x W12 x H20 in) offers more aesthetics than a conventional, open frame product. The generator has a contemporary design, convenient for recreationally generating power.

With a dry weight of 54 lbs, the PG2200BiS can easily follow you wherever your power needs are. Furthermore, the PG2200BiS's ease of transport is ensured by its convenient handle (molded in the case), providing enhanced grip.

Features

The PG2200BiS's control panel

The light indicators show you if the generator is on overload, the generator is ready and its oil levels are insufficient.

As for its security measures, the device features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), letting you use it with a peace of mind.

Besides the classic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to get you promptly started, the Pulsar PG2200BiS also comes with some accessories: oil, propane hose, tool kit and funnel are included.

The Pulsar PG2200BiS versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Pulsar PG2200BiS compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 1500 and 2500 W).

• At 54 lbs, the Pulsar PG2200BiS stands out as one of the heavier inverter generators rated from 1500 to 2500 watts. if you wish to prioritize weight, the Genmax GM2000i is one of the top contenders in its power category, weighing only 34.2 pounds.
• In comparison to generators with a similar running wattage, this inverter generator's lowest emitted noise of 60 dBA can be considered noisy. For those who are looking for a less noisy device, we suggest the Honda EU2200i. With just 48 dBA, it is one of the most quiet devices in this power range.
• Thanks to an impressive running time of around 8 hours at 50% load, the PG2200BiS benefits from a higher run time than many inverter generators of a similar output. If runtime is a priority for you, the Westinghouse iGen2200 stands out as one of the generators with the longest run time in its power range, providing around 10 hours of continuous use.
• Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary to get the full picture. This inverter generator provides better fuel efficiency than most others in its wattage range, consuming approximately 0.15 GPH (gallon per hour) at 50% load. If you wish to further improve in the area of fuel efficiency, the Westinghouse iGen2200, which boasts with a gas consumption of only 0.11 GPH, may be the right generator for you.
