Briggs & Stratton 8000W Electric Start Generator

En effet elle démarre au quart de tour....très satisfait. Ça fait 2 ans quelle passe l'hiver dans un container et au printemps....elle démarre comme une neuve. Un peu lourde mais super ...je la recommande

I bought one of these machines for use in our Search and Rescue group. Our first trip out, it spewed fuel all over the trailer, ruined seals, destroyed flooring and walls. Did several thousand dollars worth of damage, not including time spent to clean up and troubleshoot, trips to the repairman, time without a generator, etc. Spent several months trying to get this sorted out with Briggs and Stratton. They abandoned us completely in the end. Said it was our fault for putting in dirty fuel. uh, no. That's the same fuel hundreds to thousands of people use per day. I've used that same fuel vendor for years, with no problems. The authorized repairman left me with the impression that this is exactly how B&S would react. Because they have off-shored everything, the products have completely tanked and they are making huge money by living off the name of a once great company. Turns out that due to poor manufacturing and design, there is a tube that goes between the air box and the top of the fuel tank. If the unit is jiggled too much during transport, it will spew fuel out the breather hose. I proved this by filling the fuel, removing the air filter cover so I could see the breather hose opening, and shaking the generator back and forth to simulate braking, turning, accelerating in the back of a trailer. The unit immediately began spraying fuel, with quite a bit of force, out of the breather hose. There is no way to stop it either save for B&S' recommendation of "drain the fuel out of the generator before moving it", or to "put a bolt in the vent line when transporting the generator". Neither of those pieces of poorly considered advice are in the manual, and both go against safety as well as all sense and reason for having a portable generator in the first place. Because B&S abandoned us, I was forced to buy this dangerous pile of garbage personally so that our group could purchase a Honda generator instead. Six times the price for the Honda, but worth every penny considering what B&S put us through. 1) DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT: IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD - YOU WERE WARNED 2) DO NOT BUY FROM B&S: THEY MAKE A GARBAGE PRODUCT AND WILL ABANDON YOU IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG - YOU WERE WARNED I want to see a full and complete boycott of this company for what they've done. They should sink like the Titanic.

We have numerous power outages out here at the Lake and this bad boy keeps us alive!!! I keep the battery charger plugged in at all times because once in freezing weather after sitting idle for about 5 months it didn't have the cranking amps... so now no surprises. I run my entire house (2 fridges, freezer, HW tank, Water/well pump, TVs, internet, etc etc) I use LED lighting in my entire house so am sure that helps. Never has failed me... mostly used for a few hours at a time. I have it plugged into my Generlink transfer switch (behind the meter) so no inside switches/breakers to worry about). Just start... wait a bit... then throw the switch on it. It's always connected to my Generlink. It's not as quiet as a Honda but it's outside anyway. 5* for this family.

J’ai acheté se produit le mois dernier et j’en suis fier

Very happy that I found this on sale. Needed a generator as we just bought our first house out in the sticks where the power tends to go out all the time. Generator works great and is a great buy!
