Pulsar PG12000B Dual Fuel Generator vs Champion 10,625W Dual Fuel Generator

The Champion is the better buy for most home backup shoppers. It has a CO Shield carbon monoxide shutoff, Volt Guard surge protection, Cold Start Technology and a fuel select dial, and owners rate it higher. The Pulsar wins on raw output: 12,000 peak and 9,500 rated watts on gasoline against 10,625 and 8,500, plus a 50A RV outlet and a larger 8-gallon tank. Both are heavy, loud, non-inverter units at about 74 dB, so neither suits campsites or tailgates where quiet matters.

• Choose the Pulsar if you need the most watts for the money and want a 50A RV outlet and a bigger tank for long job-site or home runs.
• Choose the Champion if home backup safety and cold-weather starting matter more than the last few hundred watts, and you want CO shutoff and surge protection.
