Description
Zoom on the Pulsar PG7750BCO
In a few words, the Pulsar PG7750BCO is a portable generator perfectly suited for:
- Food truck owners who do not wish to see their business interrupted under any circumstances
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
- RV travellers who wish to upgrade their experience to another level
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the extra features it benefits from.
Power & Run Time
The Pulsar PG7750BCO
Delivering 120/240V, the Pulsar PG7750BCO is enhanced by dual-fuel technology, providing power and versatility. Running on gasoline, it boasts a running wattage of 6,250W and a starting wattage of 7,750W. Alternatively, when propane-powered, it delivers 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.
The generator is rated for a noise of 78 dBA (less noisy than a vacuum cleaner). Its starting mechanisms include a conventional pull-start mechanism and a no-fuss and convenient electric starter (battery included).
Regarding its running time, the PG7750BCO, with a 6.6 gallons fuel tank, can operate for around 9.5 hours at 50% load with a full gasoline tank (with fuel consumption estimated at around 0.69 gallons per hour). It also offers around 5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.94 GPH) of operation when using propane.
Outlets
The control panel features the upcoming 6 AC outlets:
Furthermore, it showcases 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A output providing easy battery charging capabilities.
Despite not having the 'RV Ready' status, this Pulsar generator provides the benefit of convenient RV compatibility through its L5-30R receptacle, enabling you to easily power your RV using an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, since the PG7750BCO bears a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: it is easily connectible to a breaker box and can power your home in case of a power outage.
Portability
With a size of L26.8 x W20.5 x H21.7 in, the Pulsar PG7750BCO features an open frame design, providing stability and simplified maintenance access to components, enhancing air circulation. The generator is designed for outdoor use and demanding 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, the limited maneuverability is remedied with its wheel kit (⌀12") and its folding handle, facilitating convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.
Features
The PG7750BCO's control panel
The control panel of the PG7750BCO includes a convenient meter, which displays voltage, frequency and lifetime hours, helpful for the monitoring of its status and activity.
A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the generator.
From a security point of view, the generator is equipped with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, giving you a peace of mind during use.
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.
In addition to the traditional documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to help you get started promptly, the Pulsar PG7750BCO also includes several accessories: funnel, propane hose and tool kit.

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. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO, with a dry weight of only 118 lbs.
- In comparison to generators with a similar running wattage, this generator's lowest emitted noise of 78 dBA can be considered noisy. If you wish to prioritize minimal noise, the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO stands out as one of the quietest options among generators of similar power, with a rating of 62 dBA.
- The PG7750BCO's runtime of around 9.5 hours at a 50% load on a full tank positions it within the average autonomy range compared to other dual fuel generators with similar power. If you wish to prioritize autonomy, the DuroStar DS8000iX shines as one of the top contenders, offering one of the highest run times among generators with similar power output, totaling around 14.5 hours.
- Autonomy holds its importance, however, it is largely dependent on the generator’s fuel capacity and so, it is nonsensible to discuss it without mentioning fuel efficiency as well. 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 wish to get a unit of similar power, but with one of the best fuel efficiency, you could consider the DuroMax XP7000iH, which has an impressively low fuel consumption of 0.38 GPH.
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.
