Our Verdict
A Briggs & Stratton 40555 generator is ideal for powering your home in the event of a power outage. This standby generator can be installed on an outside wall or inside a garage, basement, or utility room. It’s designed to use natural gas or liquid propane fuel and has an electric start for easy operation. The 993cc OHV engine runs at 17,000 watts with a 160-ft3/hr fuel capacity. An automatic low oil shutdown protects your engine from damage, while an hour meter tracks service intervals and maintenance needs.
