 Dead Generator - Dead Customer Service June 9, 2008

I purchased my generator from Home Depot on 13 April. I had a licensed electrician install a manual transfer switch. On 8 June, we had our first power outage. The generator started up immediately and ran for 10 minutes and then shut down. On restart, it ran for 5 minutes and shut down. After about an hour of this we decided to just weather the 96 degree heat with no electricity.
The next morning, I called Briggs & Stratton and followed their voice prompts which gave me the name of a local "Briggs & Stratton authorized warranty repair facility". I loaded this monstrous machine into my SUV and drove it over to the designated facility. About an hour later, I received a call that the "authorized Briggs & Stratton warranty repair facility" could not do the work because the Briggs & Stratton generator had a Generac motor on it. Another trip to pick up the generator and then called Briggs & Stratton back. After 1 1/2 hours of listening to how important my call was and that my called would be answered by the next available customer service rep, I called Home Depot from my cellphone who was willing to issue a refund even though the generator was more than 30 days old.
I give this Briggs & Stratton 8000 watt generator a 1 only because 0 was not an option. I would give Home Depot a 10.

Amazon had an incredible price on this when I bought it, and I couldn't be happier.
About a week after I placed my order, the delivery company wheeled it straight in to my garage (for free!) and setting it up took about 10 minutes by myself.
After doing some research, I learned that using synthetic 5W-30 oil was best in weather that's below 40F (which describes Michigan for about half of the year). I dropped a quart in, added some gas, and the generator fired right up.
I did notice what sounded like misfiring, as another reviewer noted. However, as soon as I added an electric load, it went away immediately. After talking to some other generator owners, I found out that this is normal, and leaving a generator running with no load is typically not recommended.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I dare the elements to stand up to me now!
Great price on a great generator March 13, 2008

I just recieved my new generator today. Amazon delivery was amazing. The truck line called. backed up to my door at my convienience, and me and the driver had it off the truck in less than 5 minutes. Keep in mind this is a 2 person job. Adding to the plus for the delivery is that it was absolutly free.
It took me a total of 10 minutes to install the wheels,support bracket, attach the battery cable(yes it does come with the battery installed),fill with the supplied oil and put in some gas. One little choke and the unit fired off a lot sooner than I anticipated. I ran some electrical power tools to make sure the unit was putting out power and they all worked flawlessly. I searched far and wide untill I settled on this unit. The Vangaurd engine ( built by mitsubishi according to The Briggs rep I talked to) was the major selling point. It is quieter than many larger generators and can ramp up to a 13500 watt surge. Im not hoping for a power outage , but I sure would like to put this baby to the test. I might just throw my transfer switch tomorrow and see what it can do. Very happy at this point

I just received my " Elite " generator just in time to go on my yearly camping trip. I started it up and it puts out a total of 3 1/2 volts. Its kind of hard to run my fifth wheel campers' air conditioning on that kind of current. Now I've had to find a service center, haul it there, be told they can't get to it for a week and I'm out of a generator. Now I have to see if I can rent one, at probably quite a fee, to use for my trip. The engine fires right up but has a noticable miss every 2 or 3 seconds.The free shipping is also a joke, I got a call from a truck terminal a half hour's drive away to come get it. When I got there they couldn't find it. So many cell phone minutes later I was finally able to assist them in locating it. What an experience this has all been. Next time I'll go down to the local hardware and buy a Honda.
