RIDGID 6800 Watt Generator Review

Those who have been using RIDGID power tools know that they provide clean, reliable power through their line of portable generators. The RIDGID 6800 Watt Generator is one of the power tools they offer, designed to meet all types of demanding power needs, whether in the home or on the job site. It has an idle function that automatically idles the engine once power is no longer required, meaning wear is prevented not on the alternator but also on the engine, reducing noise and increasing uptime of operation. The generator delivers running watts at 6800 or 8500 at start-up (surge watts) and has a large fuel tank that holds 8 gallons for up to about 11 hours of operation at 50 percent load.

The RIDGID 6800 Watt Generator features a shielded alternator that has an AVR, ensuring it provides 6800 watts of clean, reliable power. It makes sure you can power just about anything from a table saw to a PC. It features a unique type of removable control panel that allows essential outlets and controls to be moved or mounted virtually anywhere they may be needed, while at the same time the monitoring system displays essential functions such as hertz, voltage, usage and watts. It also alerts when the maintenance time is activated.

The RIDGID 6800 also has a strong zero-gravity frame design and durable tires that keep the unit protected and portable. Transporting it is much easier even when conditions are harsh. To accommodate all power needs, the outlet panel has standard 20 amp outlet types as well as a 240V 30 amp twist lock. The generator also has a 3 year commercial warranty to add to all the important features it has.

Customers who have purchased the RIDGID 6800 Watt Generator indicate that it differs in quality from other generators, such as the ETQ model. All switches, electronic panel, wheels and frame are first class and comes with battery. It also runs smoothly and starts easy. With the idle function, you are guaranteed to save fuel and reduce noise in case the generator has been lightly loaded, something that many users love.

Functionally, the unit comes with incredible power output and can also be expected to not flinch even when using heavy power loads such as AC unit and water heaters. While the 3-year warranty makes the decision to buy the portable generator that much easier, you can be sure of solid power output and performance.
