Description
Zoom on the Pulsar PG7750BCO
To sum up, the Pulsar PG7750BCO is a portable generator tailored for:
- Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
- Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working
- RV travellers wishing to enhance their freedom and nomad lifestyle
In the sections ahead, the power characteristics, availability of various outlets, the portability, and any additional features of the device shall be discussed.
Power & Run Time
The Pulsar PG7750BCO
The Pulsar PG7750BCO, equipped with dual-fuel technology and delivering 120/240V, ensures both power and versatility. Running on gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 6,250W and a starting wattage of 7,750W. On propane, it provides 6,000 running watts and 7,500 starting watts.
Pulsar’s patented Switch & Go technology allows you to switch from propane to gasoline or from gasoline to propane while the generator is running.
Enjoying a noise rating of 78 dBA (less noisy than a dishwasher), this generator can be started thanks to a manual recoil starter system, but also to a practical and straightforward electric starter (battery included).
Concerning its running time, the PG7750BCO, featuring a 6.6 gallons fuel tank, can continuously run for around 9.5 hours at 50% load with a full gasoline tank (consuming fuel at approximately 0.69 gallons per hour). Alternatively, when utilizing propane, it offers around 5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.94 GPH) of runtime.
Outlets
The control panel features 6 AC outlets as follows:
Additionally, it offers 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A output with which charging your batteries is made easy.
Even if this Pulsar generator isn't quite RV Ready, it still allows for an easy RV connection via an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor, thanks to its L5-30R receptacle. Besides, with its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the PG7750BCO is designed to be transfer switch ready, allowing easy connection to your breaker box for powering your home during a blackout.
Portability
Measuring L26.8 x W20.5 x H21.7 in, the classic open frame build of the Pulsar PG7750BCO delivers stability and easy maintenance access to components, facilitating air circulation. The generator is designed for ideal use outdoors and in rough environments.
While technically classified as 'portable' due to its ability to be moved, the 176.6 lbs of this generator may make manual lifting and transportation somewhat difficult. However, its challenging mobility is solved by its wheel kit (⌀12") and its folding handle, which will ease its displacement, once it is on the floor.
Features
The PG7750BCO's control panel
Integrated into the control center of the PG7750BCO are a convenient meter, showing voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours metrics, facilitating the monitoring of its status and activity.
The fuel level of the generator can be determined quickly, easily, and conveniently with the help of its built-in fuel gauge.
Security-wise, this product benefits from an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, which gives you a complete peace of mind when using it.
The unit also benefits from Pulsar's CO Sentry carbon monoxide detection. The sensor monitors for the accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide gas around the generator, and shuts down the engine is increasing levels of CO gas are detected.
While the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), helpful for starting the device promptly, come with the Pulsar PG7750BCO, the following accessories are also included: propane hose, funnel and tool kit.
Product Video
The Pulsar PG7750BCO versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Pulsar PG7750BCO compare to dual fuel generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- With its weight of 176.6 lbs, the Pulsar PG7750BCO is one of the heavier dual fuel generators in the 5500-6500 rated wattage category. In terms of weight, one of the champions in their power range is the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO, standing at just 118 lbs.
- This generator, with its lowest noise level at 78 dBA, is noisier than most generators of comparable running wattage. If you'd like a less noisy alternative, the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO is a strong contender. It boasts a noise rating of 62 dBA, placing it among the quietest generators in its power category.
- At a 50% load, the PG7750BCO's around 9.5 hours of runtime on a full tank fall within the average autonomy range for similarly powerful dual fuel generators. If run time is one of your main concerns, the Firman H05752 could be worth looking at. It boasts one of the highest run times among units of comparable power, lasting around 12 hours.
- Though run time is a significant parameter, it's closely tied to the generator's fuel tank size. To get a comprehensive understanding, fuel efficiency must also be taken into account. Compared to similar devices, this generator is less fuel-efficient than most: it burns around 0.69 gallons of gasoline per hour at a 50% load. If you're placing a high priority on fuel consumption, the DuroMax XP7000iH, with a low fuel consumption rate of 0.38 GPH, could be an option to consider.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 5500-6500W dual fuel generators, the Pulsar PG7750BCO is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.

Can this generator be powered by natural gas, as opposed to propane? (Asked June 04, 2021)
The unit is designed to run on gasoline or propane. You may find third party natural gas kits, but we do not recommend them, since they would most likely void your warranty and potentially put you in violation of your local emission laws.
