Tools and Hardware Reviews of Briggs & Stratton H7159 Briggs & Stratton® 5500, 10 HP Generator

Customer Review: Dependable and powerful
Summary: 4 Stars

I purchased this a day after Ike hit us near Houston, TX on 9/14/08 and it ran without a hint of trouble for 6 days until power was restored to our neighborhood. It consumed less than 1/3 of a gallon an hour at night with the refrigerator being most of the load and around 1/2+ gallon an hour during the day when the load was double or more.

Pros: It works when needed. Came with a 25 ft 30 amp cord with 4 connectors! Came ready to run as soon as you add some gasoline.

Cons: the gas consumption can get expensive (and gas can be hard to find after a storm too). The exhaust is pretty loud (but you learn to ignore it pretty quickly if it is keeping your food cold and some fans running to keep your family cool. The oil needs changing fairly often since it does not have a filter and the prep for storage can take a couple of hours but I sure want it ready for the next hurricane season!
