Pulsar GX400BN Dual Fuel Inverter Generator vs JEGS 4500W Super Quiet Inverter Generator

Pick the Pulsar GX400BN if you want a light, dual-fuel inverter you can lift into a truck bed and run on propane. The JEGS 86012 is the step up for home backup: electric and remote start, four outlets and a much longer run time, but it weighs 120 lb and has no written warranty. Owners of the Pulsar praise quiet propane running and reliable starts, though several report it is louder than the 62 dB claim and that the display is inaccurate.

• Choose the Pulsar GX400BN if you need propane capability and a 55 lb unit one person can move, and you can live with recoil starting.
• Choose the JEGS 86012 if you want push-button or remote starting, four outlets and long run times for home backup, and you have two people to move 120 lb.
