Just got one here in Clarksville, apparently it is a corporate sale which gets sent to the stores, not in the flyer. Mine was still marked at the original advertised price, almost walked away, but asked and they checked their corporate messages and yup, $184.99, $202.56 OTD. Had maybe 10 more left, almost got two but barely need, (want really) one.

Good point. When I got mine last year, they were still marked at the original price but rang up at the counter at the discounted price.

Just picked up one at Franklin Aldi. Had one more on shelf, and girl said there were two more in back. $184.99 but shelf sticker still says reg price.

Bought one last year (that I never got around to opening), and another one yesterday (Bartlett had 3 more). They're 3 hours into the 5 hour break-in before first oil change, both started on the first pull. They handle an 1875 watt hair dryer like a champ. Going to get a kit to run them in parallel.

Thanks for the info. Where do you get parallel kit?

This is the one made by the manufacturer

[Andy S.]

^^^^ Thank you, was wondering if Pulsar made one or you was going third party. Thanks again.

Stopped in at the store up the road (Springfield) and they didn't have any. Kinda small store so maybe they don't get everything the larger stores do.

 

[Andy S.]

Picked up one today, last one on the shelf at the store I went in.

I watched a youtube video on another generator, the Honda, about mods. One was an hour meter, to keep track of use, for oil changes and other maintenance. I figure for about $10 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073V4NYV9 it was a good buy. They also mentioned, in a Pulsar generator video, to change out the spark plug, I ordered one but I think I'll run this one for a bit first, then change it as per the schedule. I also found the parallel adapter for those that want to hook up two units. This one is the one from Pulsar, which makes the Aldi generator $79 +taxhttps://smile.amazon.com/Pulsar-Products-PG-iPAIR-B1-Inverter-Parallel/dp/B011NNI126, and this one is from Harbor Freight $60, $48 + tax with coupon https://www.harborfreight.com/rv-re...r-predator-2000-inverter-generator-62564.html.

Good call on the hour meter, I'm adding one too. Also changing out the oil dipstick with one of these:

I was looking at those, but couldn't figure out if it fit the pulsar. The set I was looking at had the dipstick, a funnel for oil changes (really want this), and a fuel cap to connect an external fuel can. There is a mod for the existing cap, which I don't need, but if it's cheap with the kit I'll get it for S&G.

Let us know how it works.

In the comments somebody did mention that it fit the Workzone generator they got from Aldi.
