Best Generator ever! Very well made and very powerful. I m very happy with it. I just love it 5 stars.
I have run this for a short while only, but may add to comment later. It started after a couple of pulls. It ran well and was tried using various household loads ending with a 1Kw blower. The noise level goes up as the load increases. In contrast to the Amazon spec of 55db, I notice the B&G paperwork mentions 76db. I am installing a 125A changeover switch to enable the B&G to run the basic household electrics.
One of the main reasons I’m doing a review before I’ve actually used it (I’ll follow up with and update once I’ve used it) is to let folk know that the sizes of the unit given on the product review are of the size of the box the generator comes in and not the actual size of the unit, which as far as I can see isn’t even mentioned in the user manual either. I thought this info might be useful to anyone wanting to buy a cover for the unit at the same time as buying the unit itself. Anyway, allowing for a margins of error that might occur when measuring the unit as it’s not an easy shape to measure exactly, are: length 51cm x width 31cm x high 45cm. Quite a difference from the product info.
UPDATE
The weather improved enough for me to finally be able to start the generator up. A little tricky to put the oil in without spilling too much even with the supplied funnel but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it. Filled up the tank and after 6 or so pulls on the starting rope it burst into life. I let it run for about 90 mins and it chugged away quite happily. I didn’t put any load on it for its first outing. It’s fairly quiet and overall I’m very happy with the unit. I’ll start it up again in a day or so and try it with a small load, then change the oil. Should be ready for all eventualities then.
UPDATE
Finished off the running in with a 1hr run and changed the oil. The unit started first pull and had a 800w load on it for most of that hour. The generator behaved perfectly. Even happier than before!
Very pleased. Would have given it 5 stars if it had some sort of fuel gauge!
Price of this seems to fluctuated wildly.
I paid 489, then the week after it was 777, then a week later down to 564, now it’s back at 777.
Don’t know what’s going on there???
The generator with light easy to use and most if all pretty quie
Would buy again and very happy boater, thanks
Problem – how do you register this on the Briggs and Stratton website? My telephone number fails validation every time and is a required field. It seems to only accept USA format numbers, even though I have changed the area on the top of the page. The QR code and text suggestion that comes with the machine don’t work. Any ideas?
Otherwise, good machine.
UPDATE: Briggs & Stratton have emailed me to say that there is no need to register this product if not in USA, despite all the paperwork for registration coming with the machine. Don’t waste hours trying to register like I did!
Noisy than I expected but good quality product great build quality
Daughter lost all power to house for several days this generator allowed her to stay in the house while repairs were being made
Not used it yet. But it’s perfect and looking forward to using it.
Very good quite dose what it says on the ti
After extensive research THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW! For this and any other petrol generator or bike.
Modern petrol contains ethanol which can create water within the system when left even over short periods of time, causing starting issues etc..
From research I have found that Esso is the only company that offer a fuel that contains no ethanol.
I would recommend the lowest ethanol fuel you can find.
AND MOST IMPORTANT – Use Briggs and Stratton fuel fit to keep your petrol fresh for longer even when stored B&S state the it can last for 3 years. I run it in this genny and my scooter. Never had a problem even after extended storage periods, Ernest Doe sell fuel fit or look on Amazon .
