Documented warranty and customer-service case
Lonnie Barkby
BBB Complaint #25096048
"Your threat of a BBB complaint is likewise not helping your case. BBB follows rules, and frankly, given the tenor of your email, I'd rather deal with the case on their platform. This will, of course, additionally delay your resolution."
Tom Irwin, VP Product Development, Pulsar Products Inc.
July 23, 2026This reply followed Lonnie's July 22 escalation after 22 days without a response to the requested parts list. The preceding email asked Pulsar to confirm shipment and stated that a BBB complaint would follow if no confirmation arrived by Friday.

Short account
Lonnie Barkby purchased one Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO generator from Amazon on April 10, 2025, for $1,099.57. Pulsar issued a warranty replacement in July 2025 after Lonnie reported that the first unit stopped starting before it had used one tank of fuel.
On May 10, 2026, Lonnie reported several problems with the replacement generator. A May 17 test record lists 203.2 total hours. Pulsar later said it required a qualified repair-facility inspection before authorizing warranty parts. The dispute moved to BBB on July 27 and remained under BBB review when last checked on August 18.

Pulsar Products Inc. public BBB profile
No public page for complaint #25096048 was found on BBB when checked on August 18, 2026. BBB says the complaint text it displays might not represent every complaint filed. The public list therefore cannot establish how many complaints have been filed against Pulsar.
I have not found a BBB source explaining why this complaint is absent from the public list or stating that open complaints are withheld. The ongoing review may be one explanation, but that is an inference, not a statement from BBB. The reason remains unknown.
To keep a public copy of this case available, I created this website and linked it to the supporting records. My opinions appear in the complaint itself. This site is designed to connect you with the evidence so you can form your own opinion of Pulsar Products and its vice president of product development, Tom Irwin.
