Worth the investment
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this for a couple of years now and it is the most important investment I could have made for the household. We have peace of mind that we have security in the event of power outages. We are in a rural area and without power...no heat/ac, no running water (well water), no refrigeration. Strong storms/high winds can wreak havoc and our Briggs has come to the rescue more than once. I would definitely recommend the investment, you'll sl...

Excellent generator and prices
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in September 2024, I am so so happy I did as in Texas we have a weather storm and our electricity goes out often, we were the lucky ones as we slept well at night since we have this generator!!! It’s excellent, it kicked in every single time and he had electricity but my neighbors didn’t. This company is amazing it turns on my generator every single Tuesday to see how well it’s working, they send me an email informing me of my s...

Great Comfort Knowing
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a great comfort knowing that we will have power and our AC will keep running in the hot summer months when storms are at their peak. The Generator tests itself monthly and that is wonderful. It does a long test twice a year. We know it is working and is ready for us if it is needed. The Generator is not overly loud, but we can hear something start up to run the tests. It is quieter than our lawn mower. Thankfully we have not needed t...

This is the best Generator on the market.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought Briggs and Stratton because of their reputation. This company has been in business since 1908. They are doing something right. Their competition can't even compete comparing quality.

Peace of Mind - electricity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this unit a year ago, in anticipation of losing power, not only during hurricanes or storms, but also during brownouts...and so far so good. We are loving the fact that we no longer have to worry about being in 90+ degree heat with no electricity.

Awesome Generator
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased Briggs and Stratton over generac because of two important things, generac does not have the warranty that Briggs has, and they did not offer a 26kw.

Blends in to the surroundings
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this in February 2026 after yet another power outage. Power went out a day after it was installed so it was tested right away. Kicked in and worked seamlessly. It was annoying to be without power multiple times a year. Love not that we are not inconvenienced by lack power anymore.

There's Briggs and Stratton, and there's the rest.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the Briggs and Stratton after much research and good reviews from other owners because it seemed to have better reliability, warranty and was quieter than others on the market. We got quotes on others from different vendors, but none compared to the Briggs and Stratton. The installation was top-notch and since it's been installed it's been issue free. We've only had it kick on a couple of times during a power outage, and it was sea...

Quiet and Improved with 10-Year Warranty
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this at the end of last year to replace an 11 year old GE whole house generator (20KW, and powered by Briggs & Stratton) that had finally taken its last breath. This new unit is much quieter, and its test cycle is much shorter. While shopping, I looked at several brands. This Briggs & Stratton had twice the warranty, and was considerably less expensive than the competition (mainly because I did a lot of research, and took advantage of ...

Confidence in Reliability
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] purchased a whole house 26 kw in November 2024 for our 3200 sq ft home. It has seemlessly transfered power to our home during several power outages. Some for just and hour. Others over night. AC internet refrigerators tvs all run with zero issues. The hum is the only difference between the generator and power from the grid. Unit runs a weekly test on Tuesday and sends me a report. No issues to date. Other family members have aslo bought B&S as...
