Description

Zoom on the Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder

In a nutshell, the Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder is a portable generator mostly geared towards:

  • Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
  • Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
  • Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure

The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, the extra features it benefits from, and any relevant emission compliance details.

Power & Run Time

The Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder

The Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder's engine, 420 cc Briggs & Stratton OHV 4-stroke, fueled by gasoline, can deliver 120/240V. It provides a running wattage of 6250W and reaches a peak wattage of 8500W.

This generator is started via a simple traditional pull-start mechanism.

With a fuel capacity of 7.5 gallons, the Storm Responder may run for around 11 hours at 50% load with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.68 GPH).

Outlets

The control panel includes the following 5 AC outlets:

Two Duplexes 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI

120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle

As it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the Storm Responder is transfer switch ready: in case of a power outage, you will be easily able to connect it to a breaker box and power your household.

Portability

The dimensions of the Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder, which are L28 x W27 x H28 in, and its typical, open frame design provides stability and enables the generator to be raised above ground level. The design is ideal for rough environments and demanding outdoor use.

While the generator is considered to be technically 'portable' (in the sense that you can move it), manually lifting and transporting it may be challenging, due to its high weight of 210 lbs. Nevertheless, it can still be moved quite conveniently with the help of its wheel kit (⌀10") and its folding handle, once it is placed on the ground.

Features

The Storm Responder's control panel

Monitoring of the Storm Responder's status and activity is made possible by a digital StatStation™ data center, which provides information on the power output and lifetime run hours and is one of the features of its control panel.

The generator allows for a quick, easy and convenient assessment of its gas level, as it is equipped with a built-in fuel gauge.

As for its security measures, the device features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, letting you use it with a peace of mind.

Besides the usual set of documentation and owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to get you promptly started, Briggs & Stratton also included a extension cord in the Storm Responder's packaging.

Emissions

The Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder is neither EPA approved nor CARB-compliant..

However, it features a spark arrestor and thus, may be used in forested areas.

Product Videos

The Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder compare to generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).

  • Considering its dry weight of 210 pounds, the Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder is one of the heavier generators producing between 5500 and 6500 running watts. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Pulsar G65BN, with a dry weight of only 126 lbs.
  • The Storm Responder, offering a run time of around 11 hours with a full tank at a 50% load, falls within the average autonomy range when compared to its peers. Furthermore, considering the run times, one of the generators which have a roughly same power output, with the highest autonomy, is the Westinghouse WGen5500, as it provides around 15 hours.
  • Even though run times are undoubtedly important, they are dependent on the fuel capacity to a large extent. For a more wholesome picture, we must take into consideration the fuel consumption of the generator. Compared to its peers, this generator is not exactly fuel efficient, compared to similarly powerful devices, with an estimated fuel consumption of 0.68 GPH at a 50% load. If not satisfied with the afore-mentioned fuel consumption, you may wish to check out the A-iPower SUA7000L. With a fuel consumption of as little as 0.36 GPH, it is one of the most efficient generators currently on the market.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other 5500-6500W generators, the Briggs & Stratton Storm Responder is on the average side of the price range.

Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.

The bottom line

Couldn't find the right answer for you? Ask your own question.

How do I know my starting watts?

If the running watts are not on the tool or appliance, you may estimate using the following equation: WATTS=VOLTS x AMPS. Only motor- driven items will require starting watts. The starting watts required may be estimated at 1-2x the running/rated watts.

How much can you run on a 6250 watt generator?

7.5 Gallon Fuel Tank Up to an 11 hour run time at 50%.

How long will a Briggs and Stratton generator run on a tank of gas?

Its Briggs & Stratton OHV engine is durable and reliable to keep delivering power even if your generator has to run for a few days. It can run up to 8-hours (at 50% load) without refueling.
