First question everybody has about these things... "Are they noisy?" The technical response for this one is: "Yes. It is noisy." The practical response is: Noise is relative. Compared to other options for gas powered portable generators, this model is relatively quiet. It's louder than an average 18-wheeler truck exhaust and quieter than almost any gas-powered push mower. It's sound is adequately muffled that even if it would register high in decibels, it does not have a grating sound to it, which makes it conceivably comfortable as background noise, even if you were only standing 10 feet from it. Quite frankly, when I had it outside running out a tank of fuel as a break-in run, I was in the house and hardly heard it running. I almost forgot it was even out there running because I had to turn down the TV to listen for it. As for size, it's about as big as a moderately filled hiking backpack. Its weight is a bit hefty for the size, but the handle is in a well-balanced place and was easy for me to carry it around, walking 50 to 100 feet in the process. I just wouldn't recommend using it as a free-weight while jogging! Setup was easy. I opened the box, removed the top part of the packaging, which contained the oil and accessories, and was able to pull the generator out of its box with ease. From there, I followed the setup guide in the instruction manual to open the side cover. After loosening two screws, you have to "pop" the cover off as it had plastic pins that hold it in place. From there, you can easily access the oil fill hole. Unscrew the oil fill dipstick, then screw in the convenient oil-fill funnel that's included in the accessories. This made it easy to pour in the oil. Then pour in the contents of the included motor oil. The container of oil contains exactly enough oil to fill the oil reservoir. I tested the level with the oil dipstick. One piece of advice, keep that little bottle. You can refill it to the bottle's full line with conventional motor oil for a convenient, premeasured amount to add later when you do its recommended oil changes. As for its usefulness, I didn't test it under any scientific means. The picture I attached to this review shows it powering my workshop. The picture skews the size of the generator. It looks big against the workshop, but the angle of the shot and angle of the camera lens makes it look bigger than it is. The workshop is 18' wide from that view and is about 25-30 feet from the generator. I had all lights on in the workshop. Two LED workbench lights and two LED ceiling lights. I also turned on a desktop computer I had in there, an old CRT video monitor, and two pieces of specialized electronics test equipment. If you're curious, the test equipment was an old logic analyzer from the 1980s with a CRT screen in it, and a two-way radio service monitor from the 1980s. Both test equipment devices consume about 250 watts each. In all, I may have had about 750-800 watts of devices running and the generator just hummed right along. I wasn't going to overexert it during its break-in period, but I was satisfied it would handle my needs. I do not have any personal research on how long it will run under various loads. I don't expect a generator this small to run overnight. If you use this for convenience, like I will tend to do when I sell electronics at flea markets and want to let people test them, then this is perfect for me. If I need to power my refrigerator and freezer if the power goes out for an extended period of time, then I expect to be refilling its tank more often. But at least I would be able to keep the fridge and freezer running. This is a generator for emergency or convenience only. It's not intended to be a whole home backup generator.

j,ai fais quelque test et elle fonctionne très bien !

I’m really impressed with the Pulsar PG2300iS 2,300W Portable Inverter Generator. What immediately stands out is how portable it is. It’s lightweight and compact enough that I can carry it easily when I’m moving around the yard, heading to a camping trip, or just stashing it in the garage. That portability makes a big difference compared to bigger, heavier generators. It’s also impressively quiet for a gas-powered unit. Even under load it doesn’t put out the loud, disruptive noise you’d expect from most generators. The USB outlet and standard plugs make it easy to run everything from phones and laptops to small appliances without pulling out adapters. The build quality feels solid and reliable. It doesn’t feel flimsy, and everything fits together well. I also like that it’s CARB compliant, which gives some peace of mind about emissions. Setup was easy and the instructions were clear. Once it was filled with fuel and oil, it fired up without any trouble. Overall, this generator delivers great performance in a package that’s easy to carry and use. If you want dependable backup power that’s not a hassle to transport, this is a strong choice.

Apres une période de deux mois d'utilisation pour le camping,cette génératrice fonctionne a merveille et fournis l'électricité au dela de nos attentes.Le niveau de bruit est tres bas et la consommation d'essence est vraiment faible.Parfois le démarrage néccéssite plusieurs essaies apres une longue période d'inutilisation,je suggere d'utiliser de l'essence sans éthanol pour diminuer cet inconvénient.
