So Far So Good!

Review Posted 01/14/2025
We just moved out into the country and we knew we wanted an additional power source for emergencies. After reviewing the top competitors, we chose this model.
We just installed our Briggs and Stratton 22KW generator with 2 transfer switches for our home. The install went fairly easily with the propane company and the electrician doing the install. I poured a 4 x 6 concrete pad for support. We haven't used it for an outage yet, but the customer service line was very informative and helpful for my questions.

The Symphony system is designed to manage large electrical loads. It requires the Briggs & Stratton 71053 Hover to zoom Briggs & Stratton Symphony® II Low Voltage Dual Module for Home Standby Generators and/or the Briggs & Stratton 71051 Hover to zoom Briggs & Stratton Symphony® II High Voltage (50A) Remote Module for Home Standby Generators.

As a 68-year-old, Briggs & Stratton is a name I grew up with and trust. The very morning my installation was completed. we had a power outage that evening and the generator performed flawlessly.

This generator is a powerhouse! It is good-looking and easy to program. I recommend vs other makes. The warranty is also COMPREHENSIVE and not prorated like other makes.
