Briggs & Stratton generators are built for outstanding performance. View the generator's features in greater detail. See the product specifications.


A 6.5 HP Briggs & Stratton Intek OHV engine provides extra torque when you need it. Watch the Briggs & Stratton video on torque power.

With five convenient outlets protected from the elements by a durable weather-protected panel, including four 120-volt household type and one 120/240-volt 20 Amp locking type, you can easily hook up TV's, stereos, coffee pots, heaters, laptops, and more. An internal Power Surge alternator will help to give you peace of mind by protecting your valuable electronics.

The generator's included 8-inch solid wheels, along with its lightweight 127-pound design, mean that you can easily move this generator as your power needs demand. And the generator's lo-tone muffler keeps the noise to a minimum, so the conversation inside isn't drowned out by the noisy machine outside.

This Briggs & Stratton portable generator has a 4-gallon fuel capacity that provides up to 12 hours of continuous runtime at 1/2 load. The generator measures 23.9-by-19.9-by-21 inches (LxWxH) and is covered by a 2-year limited, manufacturer warranty. Click here to find the Briggs & Stratton service center near you.

I purchased this generator too use with our travel trailer to recharge the batteries and run the airconditioner. It works well and starts very easy. Only negative is that it has a higher noise level than some of the more costly units.

4 out of 5 stars Exceeded my expectations   August 18, 2007

This is a fairly high quality unit. It's pretty compact so it won't be a pain to store and it fired right up after assembly, filling with oil and pouring some gas in it. Tried it with a 6A load and it never changed RPM.

The engine is an OHV of a very popular Japanese design that should be reliable and durable. The aluminum block casting clearly has the Briggs icon cast into it which means it's a Briggs engine rather than some just some random east-asian knockoff. Lastly, I was surprised to see the words "Assembled in USA" on the generator. Hang in there Briggs & Stratton!



5 out of 5 stars An excellent emergency generator   June 12, 2007

This is a basic no frill generator. Just what I needed to run my sump pump and fridge/freezer. Assembly took about 20 min. Put on the wheels, handle and front foot. Added gas and oil, and it started in one pull. This unit puts out 29 amps at 120 volts. More than enough to power what I need in an emergency. It is a little loud, but at $460 who can complain? I switched to synthetic oil after break in to help starting in cold weather as recomended in the manual. This is a very nice, well made, simple to use generator.
