Customer Review: I've Got The Power!
It's actually almost a year and a half since I purchased the Briggs & Stratton 6200-Watt Generator at Amazon. And just as I figured, after making the purchase, we've not lost power for any great length of time that really required powering this baby up...that is until this past weekend. And, man, am I glad I had the generator.
First of all, I have well-water where I live. No power = no water because the pump won't work without power (duh). We had guests this weekend, and with no power for 24 hours, the toilets would have gotten...okay, you get the idea.
Plus it was the weekend, and without the generator the beer would have gotten warm (nooooo!). We have the generator set up to run not only our main refrigerator, but also a mini.
Also on the generator are heat/hot water (oil burner), kitchen lights, living room lights and the wall sockets in the kitchen and living room that include a TV/DVD player. The central air conditioning in my house would be a bit too much for the B & S 6200, so thank goodness it wasn't one of those 95 degree weekends. The 6200 gives you just enough power for the essentials (and a TV!).
The 6200 has an electric starter that's super convenient, but in between uses you might consider completely disconnecting the battery, or charging it every now and then by running the machine. I did not follow my own advice and had to use the pull start this past weekend, which was simple and effortless...the 6200 started on the first pull.
I highly recommend this little 6200-Watt machine. All in all.....it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!
Customer Review: It's a Generator what are you expecting?
I've looked long and hard to find a generator that will fit into budject and project size. A stroke of luck landed me this. I was so happy that I saw the price go down I could barely believe it. and was on pins and needles the day that it arrived. The waiting for the freight to arrive was an experience. A semi truck rolls down the street stops at my house pulls out a portable fork truck rolls it to my garage and pulls out again. something to see in a quiet neighborhood. the Assembly was easy enough, my only complaint is that the bracket that holds the rubber feet did not have a hole to bolt into and I had to (per instructions) loosen a vibration mount that attaches to the generator motor to install the rubber hoot bracket. that and the bolts that came with it I changed out with stainless for the rubber feet to attach to the bracket. They were all wrong for it. easy enough fix. so after all my boo hoo'ing........wait one more that I forgot...ever thought on the instruction it says that there is a oil dipstick on the engine......don't believe them and just dump the whole bottle of oil that's included into the motor! after the oil, gas and the minor hook-ups it started with no problems and ran like a dream! I had a pull generator before and that's the last time for that!
I would recommend this for women that don't want to be left in the dark and without means. It has all of the features that are easy to work and you not need any special knowledge of mechanics to get the job done. the only thing that might hold them back is the weight....it is darn close to 200 pounds. every bit of it! but once you have the wheels and front bracket with rubber pads on you've only got maintenance to worry about once and a while and then when you have to fire it up.
Edit of review - One year Later September 13, 2008
The machine still looks like brand new. Runs like it did out of the crate. I've done the required maintenance to it and keep it in my garage most of the time. But when I needed it, it came through like a champ.
We had a 3 day power outage and that generator run for about 22 hours at a time and alot of gas. But it kept the power going to about 1/2 of the house. Great generator!!!!
