Can the Pulsar 2,200W run an RV air conditioner?

No. At 1800W running and 2200W peak on gas it falls short of the surge most 13,500 BTU RV air conditioners need. The ERAYAK's 4500W peak and 30A outlet are built for that load.

Is the ERAYAK worth $129.01 more than the Pulsar?

Yes if you need 30A RV power or more than 1800W running. If you only charge devices and run lights and a TV, the Pulsar covers it for less.

Which runs longer on a tank?

The Pulsar, at about 8 hours on gas at half load from 1.18 gal. ERAYAK does not publish a half-load run time for its 2.25 gal tank, and its larger engine burns more fuel at the same load.

Close. ERAYAK rates 58 dBA at 23 ft; Pulsar rates about 60 dB. ERAYAK's ECO mode lowers speed and noise further at light loads.

Can either run on propane?

Both are dual fuel. ERAYAK drops to 3150W running on propane; Pulsar drops to 1600W and runs about 75 minutes at half load on a bottle.

Do either have electric start?

No. Both are recoil start. ERAYAK offers electric start on the 4500PDE model instead.
