Briggs & Stratton Brings First Bluetooth Portable Generator to Market
Briggs & Stratton Corporation has brought to market the first Bluetooth-enabled portable generator available for purchase. The Briggs & Stratton 8,000-watt Elite Series Portable Generator with StatStation Wireless featuring Bluetooth technology is now listed on Amazon.com and HomeDepot.com. Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy and convenient for operators to monitor the generator from the comfort of their home or office.
“The integration of Bluetooth technology was the result of customer research that told us consumers become frustrated by not knowing remaining fuel levels or the remaining capacity of a portable generator,” said Dan Roche, director of marketing for Briggs & Stratton portable power and cleaning systems. “StatStation Wireless featuring Bluetooth allows users to check the performance of the generator without having to brave the elements.”
