Which one can run an RV air conditioner?

The WEN. Its 4,500 surge and 3,500 rated watts on gasoline handle most 13,500 BTU RV air conditioners, and it has the TT-30R outlet. The Pulsar's 2,200 peak watts is too small for that load.

Is the WEN worth $270 more than the Pulsar?

Yes if you need the extra 1,700 rated watts, the RV outlet or push-button start. If your loads stay under 1,800 watts, the Pulsar does the job for $429.99 at Amazon as of November 3, 2026.

Which runs longer on propane?

The WEN by a wide margin: 9 hours at half load versus 75 minutes for the Pulsar. The Pulsar's 1.18-gallon tank and small engine make propane a short-term backup only.

The WEN is rated 58 dBA at quarter load at 22 feet. The Pulsar is listed at about 60 dB, but the two figures are measured differently, so treat them as close rather than exact.

Can I move either one alone?

The Pulsar, yes; it is a small 80cc unit. The WEN weighs 100 lb, so use its wheels and folding handle, and plan a ramp for truck beds.

Do both produce clean power for electronics?

Both are inverter generators. The WEN publishes under 3% total harmonic distortion at no load and under 1.2% at full load; the Pulsar lists under 5%.
