Portable Generators

12 years ago

I am considering the Briggs and Stratton Elite 30470 generator, 7000 running watts and the Black Max 7000.

The B&S has a 3 year warranty and the Black Max has 2

year warranty. The Black Max is a Sam's and costs $1100,

the Briggs and Stratton is from Amazon and costs 899.

Please give me info abou these two generators.

There is a large write-up on the Black Max earlier, you will gain much insight. As for the B&S, read all the write-ups at Amazon, Home Depot. I have read that B&S has a weak valve problem, and when repairs are needed, the service centers keep them for months.
