"I deal with generators on a daily basis. This unit is one user friendly piece of equipment. Easy start, easy to maintain and compared to other generators was no louder than the normal. As far as portables go, for the price, you will not find better. I was also impressed with the way I was kept informed with arrival time and date. A all around pleasurable experience. Thanks!"

Briggs & Stratton 6250 Watt Generator,
November 17, 2008
By wayhollis from East Central Ohio
"This generator is really a good piece of equipment. The unit is well constructed, heavy , and has all the options found in much more expensive generators. I really like the large wheels and the convienent folding handle. This generator weighs in at 190 pounds, but moving it around is a breeze. This generator came complete with a float charger to keep the battery charged, the controls and outlets are easy to get at and have waterproof covers over them. The fuel tank has an empty-full guage in the lid. I would recommend this generator as a great buy for the money."

Hurricane tough,
September 28, 2008
By Texican from Conroe, TX
"We bought this product to be used as an emergency home generator. Hurricane Ike was the ultimate test. It ran 7 days with stops only for oil changes and gas refills with no problems.
It is a bit noisy - but you don't have it in the house with you. I appreciated the moderate volume because I knew when I woke up in the middle of the night that someone hadn't stolen it. We ran a side by side refridge or our upright freezer, 3 fans, a dish network receiver, TV, a 60 watt light, and a computer/monitor with no strain. If you count the watts, no problem.
It consumed approximately 10 gallons of gas every 24 hours - better than the manufacturers estimate. The electro-start is a huge convenience and the envy of my over-50 neighbors. If you want a workhorse for a good price, this is the one."

"I bought this generator when I needed some portable power. Working in remote areas, I found that I wouldn't always have a 120VAC plug around. This generator unit is quite noisy, but setting that aside it's great. I've been able to run my portable 5cfm air compressor, electric grinder, 140 mig welder, and 1000 watt work lights. No hesitation with push-button starting so I've never had to use the secondary pull-start. Sturdy design that feels solid, even the no flat tires. It's a bit much for one person to load on a truck weighing in at 160-170 pounds. Four 120VAC plugs and one 240VAC twist lock plug. One extra is a LED light that shines on the plugs for night use. Quick connect trickle charger for when you don't plan on using it for a while.
On the down side:
Noisy, but helps when turned away from the work area
Heavy to lift but easy to roll around on the wheels
It would be nice to have built on hooks for lifting the generator vertically"

"easy to read owners manual, easy maintenance, easy to operate! I used this product during the hurricanes in FL (Jean and Frances)and others! but when I was out of power for 14 days,. my Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator — 6250 Watts, 1450 Series OHV Engine with Electric Start, Model# 030362 came into play! it was dependable and all I had to do was fill it with fuel and change the oil according to the manual. kept my family cozy while in hot and undesirable conditions, I still own it and I was ready to use it for Fay. highly recommended!"
