Briggs & Stratton Elite Series Gas Powered Home Generator Review
Anyone who knows the home generator industry will certainly be able to tell you how highly ranked the Briggs & Stratton company is when it comes to providing quality products. The company is unlike many others who pump out new products at a moment's notice - only to move straight on to developing the next.
That's why we knew, right from the start, that the Briggs & Stratton Elite Series Gas Powered Home Generator was going to impress us. Here are some further details regarding the product and its uses.

Power Output
The Briggs & Stratton Elite Series Generator is able to produce 6,200 rated watts of power, and up to 8,750 surge watts when needed. This is more towards the top of the line - and will be aimed at consumers with heavy power demands. Considering that the average house is able to get by with just 6000 watts of power (when running only the bare essential items) - the Elite Series model should provide you with plenty of leeway.
Engine Details
This tremendous power output is coming from the Briggs & Stratton Elite Series engine - which has been specially designed for the company, and for this product. The engine itself is 11 horsepower, and there is an electric start function - meaning that you won't have to spend 10 minutes pulling ropes just to get the thing going!
Also incorporated in to this product is a low-tone muffler - which keeps the noise output to a minimum - in this case, just under 65dB. These days - that figure may not seem too impressive, as many home generator models are below this. However - in reality, it really is a feat of engineering.
Onboard Technology
Technology is abundant on this model. Firstly, you've got the electric starting mechanism, which allows for push button start. There is a special inbuilt battery which allows this to be achieved.
Furthermore, the Briggs & Stratton Elite Series generator has a power surge protection alternator built in - eliminating the need for you to purchase such a device separately, and possible saving you something in the order of $200.
You are also able to run multiple appliances at the same time from the product - as the inbuilt alternator also functions as a common switch.
