Pickup available at 17583 Railroad Street
Usually ready in 24 hours
Simple to Use
Fill and Start
Add regular gasoline to the 1-gallon tank, check the oil level, and give the pull cord a quick pull. The 79cc 4-stroke engine is designed for easy starts. You will be running in under a minute.
Power and Charge
Plug appliances into either of the two 120V 20A AC outlets, or charge phones and devices directly through the built-in 5V USB port. No adapter, no inverter box needed - clean DC power straight from the generator.
Chain Two Together
When you need more power, connect two GX230N units in parallel using a compatible parallel kit (sold separately). Together they produce up to 4,600W peak - enough for a small AC unit at your campsite.
Go Light. Go Anywhere.
40 lbs of whisper-quiet inverter power - built for campers, tailgaters, and adventurers
Surprisingly Small, Seriously Capable
The GX230N measures just 17.72"L x 11.42"W x 17.32"H - about the size of a carry-on bag. At 40 lbs, one person can lift and place it anywhere. Yet it delivers 2,300W of clean power, enough to run a small AC, a camping refrigerator, and charge all your devices at the same time.
- Dimensions: 17.72"L x 11.42"W x 17.32"H
- Weight: 40 lbs - truly portable
- Ergonomic top handle for easy carry
Clean Inverter Power for Every Device
Unlike conventional generators, the GX230N produces stable, consistent AC power with less than 3% total harmonic distortion. Safe to plug in your laptop, CPAP machine, camera batteries, and other sensitive electronics without fear of damage.
- Clean sine wave output
- Safe for all sensitive electronics
- Two 120V 20A AC outlets
- Built-in 5V DC USB output
79cc Engine Built for Efficiency
The compact 79cc 4-stroke OHV engine is engineered to extract maximum runtime from each gallon of fuel. On a single 1-gallon fill, the GX230N runs for up to 4.8 hours at half load - giving you a full night of power from a single tank.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this at a campground with a quiet generator rule?
Yes. The GX230N is an inverter generator and operates significantly quieter than conventional generators. Most campgrounds that allow generators permit inverter generators like this one.
Will it run a small portable air conditioner?
It depends on the AC unit. A portable AC rated at 1,000-1,400W would run fine on the GX230N. For larger ACs, consider the GX420N or use two GX230N units in parallel for up to 4,600W peak.
Is the USB port a standard 5V USB-A?
Yes. The built-in USB port is a standard 5V DC USB-A output, suitable for charging phones, tablets, Bluetooth speakers, and other standard USB devices.
Can I run this indoors?
No. Like all gasoline-powered generators, the GX230N produces carbon monoxide and must only be operated outdoors in well-ventilated areas, away from windows and doors.

Shopping Guide
Who this is for
The Pulsar GX230N is a gasoline inverter generator for portable power at a campsite or tailgate, for a small AC or a camping refrigerator, and for charging devices. It delivers inverter output with under 3% THD, listed as safe for electronics, and its operation is listed as quiet.
It is not an indoor generator: operate it outdoors in well-ventilated areas. It is also a compact 1,800W rated unit, so if everything you want to run at once adds up to more than that, a single unit is not the right fit.
How to choose
- Add up your load. This generator is rated for 1,800W with a 2,300W peak. Total the devices you want to power together and compare the total with both figures.
- Decide whether one unit is enough. It is parallel ready: connect a second unit for up to 4,600W. The parallel kit is sold separately.
- Check the carry weight. It weighs 40 lb, and a parallel setup means moving two units.
Spec highlights
- Power: 2,300W peak and 1,800W rated.
- Power quality: inverter output with under 3% THD, listed as safe for electronics.
- Weight: 40 lb.
- Outlets: two 120V 20A AC outlets and one 5V DC USB-A port.
- Engine: 79cc, 4-stroke OHV, with recoil pull start.
Common questions
Can I run the GX230N indoors? No. Indoor use is listed as No on the spec sheet: operate this generator outdoors in well-ventilated areas. Quiet inverter operation does not change that rule, so plan to set it up outside wherever you use it, whether at a campsite or a tailgate.
What fuel does it use, and how long does a tank last? Gasoline, from a 1.0-gallon tank. The listed run time is up to 4.8 hours at half load. That figure is stated for half load only, so use it as a reference point and compare it with the power you plan to draw. The spec sheet lists no other fuel type.
How big is it, and will it fit my storage space? It measures 17.72 in long, 11.42 in wide and 17.32 in high. Those are the listed overall dimensions, so measure your storage spot against them. The listed weight is 40 lb. If you plan to run two units in parallel, you will need room for both.
What do I need to run two generators in parallel? A second unit and a parallel kit. The spec sheet lists the GX230N as parallel capable, with up to 4,600W when connected to a second unit, and notes the kit is sold separately. Without the kit and a second unit, you have a single generator rated for 1,800W.
