Description

Zoom on the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO

In a nutshell, the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO is a powerful portable inverter generator mostly geared towards:

  • Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
  • Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
  • Camping and tailgating buffs looking to enhance their experience
  • Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure

The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, the extra features it benefits from, and any relevant emission compliance details.

Power & Run Time

The Pulsar PGD95BiSCO in use

The Pulsar PGD95BiSCO

The dual-fuel technology of the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO allows for an output of 120/240V and provides superb power and versatility. If gasoline-powered, the device provides a running wattage of 7,600W and a starting wattage of 9,500W. If propane-powered, it gives 7,200 rated watts and 8,550 starting watts. In addition, the device is parallel capable (parallel kit not included) and thus, can be linked to a similar or compatible unit for added power.

The inverter generator features a simple traditional pull-start mechanism and also a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). It is rated for a noise of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a normal conversation). To add further convenience, the PGD95BiSCO can be remotely started (key fob included).

The PGD95BiSCO, with a fuel capacity of 6.9 gallons, reaches a run time of around 9.5 hours at 50% load utilizing gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.73 GPH). Alternatively, it can reach a run time of around 4.5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.04 GPH) with propane.

The PGD95BiSCO produces a clean sine wave: thanks to a <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), your sensitive electronics can be safely plugged in the AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel features the upcoming 6 AC outlets:

Two Duplexes 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI
120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle
120/240V 50A (14-50R) receptacle

Furthermore, it has 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) allowing you to conveniently charge electronics such as mobile phones and tablets.

Due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the PGD95BiSCO is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.

Portability

The Pulsar PGD95BiSCO is an inverter generator and has an encased design of the following dimensions: L31.4 x W22.8 x H29.4 in. Thus, it is more aesthetical than conventional, open frame products. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.

While the generator is considered to be technically 'portable' (in the sense that you can move it), manually lifting and transporting it may be challenging, due to its high weight of 244 lbs. Nevertheless, thanks to its set of 2 wheels and its folding handle (a decent solution to its lack of maneuverability), the generator can be easily moved, once placed the ground.

The PGD95BiSCO's control panel

Monitoring of the PGD95BiSCO's status and activity is made possible by a digital data center, which provides information on the power output, voltage, lifetime run hours and frequency and is one of the features of its control panel.

In addition to this info, the light indicators show you if the generator is on overload, the oil level is too low and the generator is ready.

The inverter generator includes a built-in fuel gauge, a quick, easy and convenient method of checking the device’s gas level.

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.

Along the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), useful for starting the generator right away, the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO's package also includes these accessories: propane hose, key fob, tool kit and funnel.

Emissions

The Pulsar PGD95BiSCO is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. It can therefore be sold and purchased in all 50 states, including California.

Moreover, it features a spark arrestor and thus, may be used in forested areas.

Product Video

The Pulsar PGD95BiSCO versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO compare to generators of similar power (between 7500 and 8500 W).

  • At a dry weight of 244 pounds, the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO is one of the heavier devices which can produce between 7500 and 8500 running watts. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Dewalt DXGNR8000, with a dry weight of only 183 lbs.
  • With a lowest noise rating of 62 dBA, the inverter generator is one of the most quiet of the generators of similar power.
  • Given that the PGD95BiSCO reaches an autonomy of around 9.5 hours with a full tank and at 50% load, it is placed within the average autonomy range of similarly powerful generators. Furthermore, considering the run times, one of the generators which have a roughly same power output, with the highest autonomy, is the Champion 100416, as it provides around 12.5 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. This inverter generator has an estimated fuel consumption of roughly 0.73 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 50% load, rendering it somewhat average compared to devices of a similar output. If not satisfied with the afore-mentioned fuel consumption, you may wish to check out the Pulsar PG10000B16. With a fuel consumption of as little as 0.55 GPH, it is one of the most efficient generators currently on the market.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other 7500-8500W generators, the Pulsar PGD95BiSCO is on the expensive side of the price range.

While certainly not the cheapest of its kind, purchasing it would most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.

Unlike many websites, we did our best to research each of the specs above. That being said, we are not immune to making the occasional mistake or omission. Should you notice any missing or incorrect values, don't hesitate to suggest improvements so we can address the issue.
* Propane runtime is our own estimation, based on a 20 lbs tank and NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs of propane = 1 gal of gasoline.
