Tools and Hardware Reviews of Briggs & Stratton Elite Series 8,550 Watt 10 HP OHV Gas Powered Portable Generator #030241
Customer Review: Owned 5 Years - Still running great
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the old generac version of this 5 years ago and have been using it off and on for that time, including 14 days of 24hour use last year when we had a major wind storm. I ran all major appliances, heat and lights for that time (except for Stove). Unit runs like a champ and has about 500 hours on it now. Needed to replace the original battery this week as the electric start was not working, but other than that super happy.
We put it in a small rubermaid outside storage crate, and run it in that to dampen the sound and protect it from rain etc. That works well and would recoment other to do the same (so will your neighbors shivering in the dark)
Customer Review: Hoping to replace Generac
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently had a 4400w. xl Generac which was chained, locked & stored in a secure storage place disappear from the back of my travel trailer,! I was told that Generac sold its lower wattage or recreational line to B&S. I had that gen. for 6-7 years. was less noisey than the big fancy rigs at the dog shows,had a spark arrestor & was dependable. I had a steel rack built on back of my trailer for the gen.and used a thin rubber mat for it to set on, & did not have any noticable vibration. This looks just like it. Please does any one know if I ordered the right one? I hope the one that disappeared blows up!Customer Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This came within 4 days of purchase and ready to go after approx 10 mins of installing the handle,wheels and the rubber vibration feet. Started after about half a pull and runs perfect. I bought it mainly for use in my travel trailer when we go camping and it fits throught the door with wheels on, perfectly with room to spare. For a generator that puts out this much power under a load of a circular saw and powering my travel trailer, with the A/C on it is surprisingly quiter than I would have thought. Actually much quiter than alot of other generators I've heard. Buy it and you'll be happy.Customer Review: Started on first tug of the rope.
Summary: 5 Stars
Very satisfied with the quality of the generator. Briggs and Stratton lives up to its long and excellent reputation. I hope I never have to use the generator because of a prolinged power outage but it is comforting to know it is ready. My only negative comment is that it is loud as the hinges of Hell. But I read about that in one of these reviews so it was not unexpected. The neighbors will probably forgive the noise if I let them plug in.
As the title indicates, all it took was a very short tug on the starter rope to get the thing going.
The price was right.

Summary: 5 Stars
My brother-in-law went 10 days without electic after a freak ice storm 2 years ago. That same year I bought this same generator at Sears. Runs great a little load but starts on the first pull. I would suggest buying a transfer switch. I have mine wired to power our fridge, freezer, sump pump, basement lights and electric, pluse our furnace. The generator took everything I threw at it and more. I even ran the sweeper and it hardly hiccuped! I also suggest using synthetic oil, runs smoother, quiter and protects the engine during winter use.
