Ratings & Reviews for Briggs & Stratton PowerProtect+ 22000 -Watt Single fuel 200-Amp Home Standby Generator Automatic Transfer Switch Included

Not Reliable

We purchased a 26kW generator in July 2023. The day it was installed we told the dealer we purchased it from that it sounded like the engine had a miss in it. They told us to let it run for a while to see if the miss would go away. After less than 20 hours runtime the generator wouldn't start. The dealer that installed it came out and replaced the pressure regulator valve in the generator. In early 2025 it quit working again. By then, the dealer we had purchased it from had gone out of business....

Great features

I had this installed two months ago and am very pleased. Having owned both Generac and Kohler standby generators, I would rate the Briggs and Stratton 1st, the Kohler 2nd and the Generac third. The Briggs and Stratton and the Kohler seem more substantial than the Generac and the Briggs and Stratton has the best warranty; 10 years parts, labor and travel.

Excellent generator! Awesome install!

Very happy with the choice of the system. The company installed it and fully explained its features. The price was competitive with products from other providers and yet they offer a ten year warranty, where the others are offering five.

Very pleased with product

Purchased for the future power outages to come. has set my mind at ease and no more worries.

Ongoing Issues with B&S Standby Generator

Purchased the unit in December 2024 after Helene knocked our power out for 10 days. Power outage in February 2025 and the unit funtiined for 1 hour before shutting down. Next power outage in April 2025, and although the unit powered up, there was no power being transferred into my home. Not happy so far...

I’m happy.

I bought by 26kw Briggs in fall of 2022. After 8 months I noticed it wasn’t running its weekly duty cycle. Called my local dealer and the came out replaced to started under warranty. Have had no other issues and keep my dealer on a schedule for preventative maintenance. This purchase was researched throughly and found Briggs to have the best product, warranty and reliability overall as a product. Other brand’s warranty covered parts/labor but not the mileage for warranty work. That brand woul...

Peace of mind right at home!

I live in a semi-remote area. Outstanding reputation and industry leading warranty!

Being a BRIGGS, I always look for quality products

Haven't needed it yet. But it will be ready when the need arises.

Great Product

I purchased this a month ago and it has been a wonderful experience using it.

Horrible company

Installed new unit, can't get support for warranty. Unit doesn't run

Efficient and reliable product

Purchased 8 months ago and have had two prolonged outages. Power restoration was seamless. Very happy with installation and operation!

Powers whole 3900 sq/ft house

I’ve had two power outages lasting for a total of three days. Almost 4000 sq feet of house with 3 HVAC systems, two large refrigerators, electric 48 inch double oven/range. PP26 powered all without a problem.

Good Quality

We live on the Gulf Coast & need to be prepared for hurricanes.

Very happy with my gen

I am an electrical contractor, I have installed well over 50 of these units over the past 5 years or so with very few issues to talk about. These are nice reliable units and I installed one at my personal residence which works flawlessly.

Great Power!

I'm so happy I invested in this product - it has helped during my many power outages.

Unreliable

Bought this one year ago and has stopped working several times. Our dealer/installer has quit selling these generators because of all the problems

Great American made generator

Great quality, price and most importantly, great warranty. Very happy. Covers my whole house.

20KW Generator

I have this since September 2022 and no problem with its operation

Well built, reliable, strong company

Was installed April 1, 2023 and ice storm took out power April 3, 2023. Started up and worked perfectly for the next two days. Power was out to 338,000 customers in Ontario. We were lucky with others going a week or more without. Worked as promised. My son purchased the same unit 3 month before this and was without power for 3 days. They work like they should. Here Generac had engine issues lately with dealers unable to get replacement engine due to demand to fix them. A hard explanation to a c...

Great backup generator

We bought this system in 2018. It has run great since. Many multi-outages lasting 2 to 10 hrs. or more. Only problem we had was this week on the schedule run, for some reason an error occur and the system would not start. Check gas and it was fine. Turn the generator off and then back on the it work great. Not sure what that was all about. So far this system has work as we had hoped.
