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 ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working
- RV travellers looking for even more independence
Over the following sections, you'll uncover its power characteristics, the selection of outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it includes.
Power & Run Time
The Pulsar PG7750BCO
With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile Pulsar PG7750BCO provides an output of 120/240V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 6,250W along with a peak wattage of 7,750W. While propane-powered, it provides 6,000 rated 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 standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism, but also to an easy-to-use and reliable 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 is equipped with the following 6 AC outlets:
In addition, it provides 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A output making battery charging a breeze.
Even though this Pulsar generator isn't quite RV Ready, its L5-30R receptacle allows an easy RV connection via an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the PG7750BCO is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during 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. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.
Even though this device may be technically portable (as in movable), manipulation and transportation without special equipment can be a challenge, as it weighs 176.6 pounds. However, the lack of maneuverability can be offset with its wheel kit (⌀12") and its folding handle, which allows for convenient shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.
Features
The PG7750BCO's control panel
The PG7750BCO and its control panel include a convenient meter, which displays voltage, frequency and lifetime hours. This feature comes handy when monitoring 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.
In terms of security, the generator features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during its 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.
With the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), letting you start the generator quickly, the Pulsar PG7750BCO also comes with several accessories, including: funnel, tool kit and propane hose.
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).
- Weighing in at 176.6 lbs, the Pulsar PG7750BCO is one of the heavier dual fuel generators available in the 5500-6500 rated wattage segment. If weight is your top priority, one of the champions in this power category is the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO, weighing just 118 pounds.
- Among the generators of a comparable running wattage, this generator with a lowest noise of 78 dBA can be judged as noisy. If you’d prefer a less noisy device, one of the most quiet devices, which share the same power range with this one, is the Powerhorse s8000id, whose lowest noise levels reach just 62 dBA.
- The PG7750BCO provides around 9.5 hours of runtime at a 50% load on a full tank, placing it within the average autonomy range among similar dual fuel generators. For those prioritizing autonomy, the Firman H05752 could be considered, as it offers one of the longest run times among generators with similar power output, reaching around 12 hours.
- Even though run times are undoubtedly important, they are dependent on the fuel capacity to a large extent. For a more wholesome picture, we must take into consideration the fuel consumption of the generator. This generator is somewhat less fuel-efficient than devices of comparable output: its estimated fuel consumption reaches 0.69 GPH 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.
