| Summary | The Firman WH02942 is a 2,900-watt dual-fuel inverter generator built for users who need portable power without sacrificing runtime flexibility. On gasoline, it delivers 2,900 running watts and 3,200 starting watts. Switch to propane and the running output drops to 2,600 watts, but runtime at 25% load stretches to 19 hours versus 10 hours on gas. This makes it a practical choice for RV owners, campers, and homeowners seeking backup power that can run all night on a single fuel source. The 3% THD output means laptops, phones, and sensitive electronics stay protected from power surges. At 58 dB, it runs quieter than most job sites and many competitors, making it suitable for campgrounds and residential areas. | The Pulsar PGD16iSCO is a gasoline inverter generator with a rated output of 1200 watts and a peak of 1600 watts, designed for portability and clean power delivery. |
