Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that a ton of early Black Friday deals have dropped. There are the usual suspects like laptops, electronics, gaming gear, and beyond. But me, I prefer to pick up unusual items during the huge holiday sales. You know exactly what I mean, the kind of stuff that doesn’t usually go on sale any other time. One of those items is a portable generator. Where I live it seems like they rarely go on sale, and when you need them most they’re never in stock. People flock to the stores to buy them just before a big storm. Well, right now, Pulsar and Walmart have an incredible deal on a 12,000-watt dual-fuel generator. Normally $900 it’s down to $749 which saves you $151. It can run for up to 12 hours on an 8-gallon fuel tank.

Why shop the Pulsar 12,000-watt dual-fuel portable generator for Black Friday?

You’d be surprised how many people wait until a big storm is coming to start their prepping. That doesn’t just apply to the hurricane-affected regions, it also applies out west and up north. Get your prepping done early people. Like, right now, early. That’s precisely why you might consider grabbing this Pulsar 12,000-watt dual-fuel portable generator during the Black Friday sale. You’ll be ready when the time comes. Who knows, you might even need one this winter?

It’s a 457cc single-cylinder 4-stroke and air-cooled generator with an electric start. It takes both gas and LPG fuel sources, so propane. Plus, it comes with the propane hose you’d need to connect a tank. Automatic voltage regulation and low oil shut-off provide some much-needed safety features. Drop-down handles and wheels make it easier to move around your property. Moreover, a 3-in-1 digital meter keeps you informed at a glance.

It delivers 12,000 peak watts with 9,500 rated watts while powered by gasoline and 10,800 peak watts/ 8,550 rated watts while powered by LPG.

Just in case it needs to be said you cannot use a generator like this inside. It needs to be placed outdoors where it can properly ventilate. Only portable power stations can be used inside because they utilize electric battery technology. Even so, gas generators are still super useful to have and they can help you keep your appliances running in the face of an outage. With something like this you wouldn’t have to throw away spoiled food in your refrigerator — as long as you have it plugged in or a replacement plugged in.

Normally $900 it’s down to $749 which saves you $151. That is a great deal.
