MILWAUKEE, March 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- For the
second year in a row, Briggs & Stratton Corporation®
(NYSE: BGG) has taken to the road to showcase power equipment
innovation heading into the spring season. And based on reviews
from more than 200 consumers, the products were a hit.
The engine manufacturer recently spent two days in Clearwater, Florida talking with consumers and
giving them the opportunity to test out an array of outdoor power
equipment, including:
- EXi walk-behind mower that never needs an oil change*. With
Just Check and Add™, only add oil
when necessary
- Quiet Power Technology™ featuring Just
Check & Add for a walk-behind mower that not only never
needs an oil change, but also is up to 60 percent quieter** than
comparable gas-powered mowers
- InStart® featuring Just
Check & Add technology that features a lithium-ion
starting system for easy, reliable starting and never needs an oil
change
- Snapper® 360Z residential zero-turn mower with an
integrated cargo bed, providing much more utility than a
traditional zero-turn mower
- Briggs & Stratton's Pro Series™ Pressure Washer with
commercial strength and durability for the toughest jobs
- Troy-Bilt® All Steel Base pressure washer brings
strength to the residential pressure washer category
- Briggs & Stratton's new surface cleaner pressure washer
attachment with a wider surface area to scrub surfaces up to 4x
faster
- Briggs & Stratton's Ready Start® for Ride
technology means no priming or choking on your lawn tractors, just
turn the key or push the button
- Snapper's line of 60-volt interchangeable battery powered tools
including a leaf blower, hedge trimmer, chain saw, walk-behind
mower and string trimmer
- Briggs & Stratton's new Gas Off™ product, the only product
designed to remove the odor and residue of gas and diesel from your
hands, clothes, car and outdoor power equipment
After trying the equipment, visitors had the opportunity to tell
Briggs & Stratton what they thought on video or via an online
rating or review. Many took up the offer and results were
exceedingly positive. Of the 213 reviews collected over two days in
Florida, the average score was
4.78 out of 5.
"There is no substitute for getting to talk face-to-face with
the people who use our equipment," said Carissa Gingras, marketing director for consumer
engines and service at Briggs & Stratton. "Hearing what they
like and don't like is what fuels our innovation and ensures we're
developing products that answer a need in the marketplace."
