| Summary | The Cummins Onan P4500i is a 3700-watt inverter generator built for users who need reliable power without the noise penalty. Its 4500-watt peak capacity handles startup surges for air conditioners, power tools, and RV air conditioning units. The gasoline engine runs clean enough for sensitive electronics like laptops and phones, thanks to a 3 percent THD rating that protects against voltage spikes. This unit bridges the gap between portable camping generators and stationary backup power, making it useful for RV owners, homeowners facing extended outages, and contractors working near occupied spaces. | The Pulsar PGD105TiSCO is a 10,500-watt peak inverter generator that operates on tri-fuel options including gasoline, propane, and natural gas. It features a 458cc OHV engine, multiple starting methods, and is suitable for residential, outdoor, and work applications. |
