A major purchase of a great produced in America
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the biggest unit available over a year ago and it has been a terrific product. It was installed on time and tested within a couple of days. I can say positively that is has been called upon a number of times to provide home power. It never missed a beat! It would trip on within 20 second each time. Here in Nebraska we have any number of old power that is constantly being update. And in addition to that we have days, seemingly in on Thurs...

My New Briggs 22kw Generator
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought i this a little over a year ago and it has only had to come on 2 times. It started and powered my house as long as the power was off and shut down when the power came back on. It runs for about 10 min at 4 p.m. every Monday as programmed. It does run a little ruff while running in test but in a actual power out it starts and runs and sounds fine.

A good preformer.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now has been in service about a year now. Has operated without any issues. Ran consistently for a two day period when a very severe storm passed through our area. Bought it over the competitive units. This do to it’s overall design.

Second review
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second review--Still a bad unit. Two more service calls since last review 3 months ago. Now the gas solenoid is bad. The unit still has an issue with the unit that sends the run/test information--still no text messages. Many parts replaced on this 3-year-old unit--never has worked right. B&S said that they would contact me---this has not happened.

Service is king
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our first generator lasted for 12 years. We switched to a B & S due primary to better service. We found that the dominant market player with a majority market share could not keep up in a crisis when everyone needed service at the same time.

Great backup peace of mind
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we survived a hurricane and lost power for 6 days so we needed a backup power source. solar is great when the sun shines but if it doesnt then we are out of power. we evaluated kohler, cummins, generac, and briggs. we selected briggs because of our positive experience with their small engines and because their notification system is cell-based. We bought through a local dealer and not from the three choices below.

Worth the Peace of Mind
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had our 26Kw generator for over 2 years now and have gone through numerous outages and storms. Never had an issue with start up or transfers, combined with having the ability to run anything you want is truly priceless during a outage.

Dependability, of course...it's Briggs and Stratt
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was installed in March of this year. During May, there must have been a power outage, because I heard it running on a Tuesday evening. The lights didn't even blink! It was seamless.

It works well and isn't too loud.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in a rural area and often lose power for no apparent reason. We decided to buy this unit 2 years ago in April. It has given us such peace of mind and we know we're good when the inevitable happens.
