Great product and quieter generator
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my 18kw B&S generator because I wanted something a little more powerful. The 18 worked great though. The generator works great and it is much quieter than the Generac brand (which I have owned at another house). My neighbors have Generacs and they are noisy!

Hi Farley, Thank you for leaving a review. Glad to hear you are enjoying your Briggs & Stratton generator!
Best generator EVER
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will never be without a generator. This one replaced the 17kW that was here when we bought the house in 2019. The original briggs & stratton generator made it 12 years before it died in 2024. It outlived its 7 year warranty and probably its life expectancy! Long live Briggs & Stratton! This new generator was not as expensive as I has assumed new generators cost. That was a pleasant surprise. This new generator is 1000% more efficient than th...

Very Thankful for the Peace of Mind
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased our Briggs and Stratton generator a little over a year ago. Our grid in the Houston area (from Centerpoint) is very reliable, unless we have another hurricane. This was our primary reason for adding a dependable backup. Earlier this month, some equipment in our neighborhood failed, and we finally had an outage. It was 0530 and I was brushing my teeth when everything went black. In just a few seconds, I hear a very welcome soun...

Works as advertised
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Briggs & Stratton generator over 2 years ago. The power has gone out several times over this period and the generator has responded as advertised and perfectly. It is such a relief to know we have a generator as a backup.

Purchased for reliability.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this generator to provide peace of mind in this hot Texas heat. No major power outages yet but I'll be ready for hurricane season where long power outages are probable.

Dependable comfort
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the generator back in 2024 and it has been working great. It starts every Tuesday Afternoon to test functionality and whenever we have a power outage. It is also easy to maintain and was able to find all manuals and documentation online.

Peace of Mind!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After having experienced power outages, though infrequent, being our late 70s addressing that problem is not an inconvenience; it is a necessity! We have health equipment which needs power and not having it is not an option. We have had the Briggs and Stratton generator for about a year. It has been needed a couple of times in that year with no issues. I am very pleased and would recommend it along with the service company that installed it wit...

Wise decision.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My area had a history of short…sometimes long outages. Tired of it. “Brotherly Love” did a very professional install of my whole house 22kw gen set. Love it. Can barely hear it run. Two years old and I don’t even know it’s there. Except when power is lost. Should have done it years ago. Would have saved me much grief.

Legendary Company, Reliable Generator
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Because of landslide conditions I had to install a combined system of solar panels, batteries, and generator to be completely off grid. I chose Briggs & Stratton for the quality and reliability of their products. When your home power is off grid you can't take a chance on products of lesser quality. Even after grid power was restored 1 1/2 years later I still rely on Briggs & Stratton batteries and backup generator to backup and augment loca...
