Its biggest advantage over its competitors is its weight, because it only weighs 64 kgs. That’s almost half the weight of other generators in its class.

There is also a LED indicator light for low oil, and if you’re running your generator at night there are LED lights that illuminate the control panel itself.

Briggs and Stratton offer a 24 month domestic warranty or 12 month commercial warranty with this model.
Not only did Briggs nail the design of this lightweight, quiet, compact and well thought-out mini power plant, they also made it one of the most affordable generators out there. Just like its weight, its RRP is at least HALF the price of comparable machines.
