Tempted. I saw on the video on the product page they list 240v 25a twist lock and got all excited until I realized it's a different model. This one is 120v only (as expected for this size/price of inverter generator).

As a newbie- would this be a good price for a second or backup for someone who already has a propane generator. Tbh honest I don't know what the difference is between the two

For sure. This is a solid deal for a person without one. Any less you start to give up some features like dual fuel. Propane might be available and gas is not. Visa versa. Long term storage vs keeping relatively fresh gas

Is your other generator an "inverter" generator as well? If not, generally speaking, inverter generators are more efficient, quieter, and better for sensitive electronics. Not sure if any of those matter to you...

I bought a number of these last year. Have used one for several outages (including Helene for 9 days) and sold remainder to neighbors and other folks during outage.
Ran it to my panel with all 240v loads switched off. So the gen was running all lights, 85" TV, internet, multiple fans including ceiling fan, full size fridge and two standup freezers (one small one medium). I don't know total wattage but there was enough room to also run dehumidifier in crawlspace, and microwave or air fryer. Didn't try a window AC as temps were just tolerable enough.
On that load I was getting around 15-16 hours per 20lb tank. Those were exchange tanks, so 3/4 full or however they come.
My neighbor who ran gasoline said he was getting around 24 hrs per tank full. He was running a much lighter load via dropcords, but still at least two fridges. I started running gas toward the end and I could see that being accurate especially if you really fill it up past the little filter thing.
Overall I think it's a decent unit. I also have a Honda EU2200 and I swear the Pulsar sounds quieter when in ECO mode, which is to say it's very quiet.
I mentioned I also sold a number of these to random folks who needed them during Helene. Some did have issues but as time went on it became apparent it was usually user error (assisted by a not so great manual, assuming they'd read it anyway). For instance, the battery in this thing is small, like a tiny drill battery. Folks would press the electric start button and if it wouldn't start, they'd just keep pressing it. At that point it wouldn't start even with pull cord. I believe this causes the engine to flood because once those units would sit for a while, they typically started after a few pulls. So I highly recommend sticking with the pull start if starting a COLD unit, for instance.

At 4500A might not really make sense to have a 240V option - that's less than 20A. Yeah I know it shouldn't be that expensive to include 240V but when you're making tens of thousands of these it adds up, and you want to keep costs low for the target market which is mostly going to be stuff like tailgating, food truck, RV perhaps, etc. who aren't going to use 240V anyway (at least in the capacity that this small gen could provide)

That's a really great point! I had never even considered that before (the available amps once you get to 240v approaching an impractical value for most applications).

Cost goes up dramatically for inverters when doing 240v as u.s. 240 is split phase. For a non inverter generator 240 is easier as it's in direct phase from the other side.. the phase is always in sync. For an inverter you need to then have a synchronizer, or circuitry for synchronizing.
Except for a few items like an electric stove or a dryer, most people don't need 240.
For sure. This is a solid deal for a person without one. Any less you start to give up some features like dual fuel. Propane might be available and gas is not. Visa versa. Long term storage vs keeping relatively fresh gas
Thanks for the input, you are spot on. For the price cant beat it without losing something.
