Honda versus Kipor

Hi

can anyone help me with a bit of advice about gennies? I have used a Honda suitcase type in the past and its been very good (it was a borrowed one) Have now decided its time to buy one for myself but Hondas are VERY pricey. I've seen the Kipor ones advertised on ebay for a fraction of the price and so have been looking at them. Does anyone have any thoughts on these - is the old adage "you get what you pay for" applicable here?

thanks again
 
Aileen, I do not know if they still fit a rather inferior spark plug, but it is worth just changing it in case for a NGK CR6HSA
 
Hi Aileen.

Go ahead with the Kipor. We live in Scotland were the power supply can be a bit iffy in winter. We have purchased a Kipor diesel genny for the house and on a dummy run it supplied a big fridge freezer, the oil fired central heating, two computers.This proves it supplies a true sine wave A/C. The television and numerous low wattage lights. The output is 2,000 watts (2KW) and was
