4.4KVA Generators

I agree, like a lot of vehicles made today parts and bodies and engines are all made in the same factories but are just badged differently. Thank you for your response

Sorry, coming from the automotive industry I have to disagree.... things can look the same or similar but that's where it stops.

Thanks for you reply even that it's a bit sceptical.

Do you really think Honda and Yamaha would take the chance and manufacture something that was to be sold to another company and sold a lot cheaper then there own product..... bit like Coca Coola selling there syrup to a competitor so they can sell it cheaper.

Good luck with your purchase.

BTW what vehicle manufactures make parts, bodies and engines and rebadge them for their competitors?

Isuzu for holden, Nissan for holden and ford, Toyota for holden just to name a few.

Mark it's a bit different with cars..... either the parties involved have a financial interest in each other or they are forced to work together due to government policy or due to financial limitations on both parties behalf.

The last four vehicle manufactures here in Australia all shared manufacturing of parts for each other due mainly to the small market and cost of specific product of small run parts..... but the never shared parts.

All parties involved had equal benefits for working together.

GM had financial interests in Isuzu, Nissan needed Holden to cast 3lt RB engines for the Skyline and Holden used the engine in the Commodre as they needed something urgently, Holden needed a small car so they got the Pulsar again because Holden made the engine..... the reason Holden made the engines was to earn export dollars for Nissan and Holden offsetting there import duties..... Holden got the Corrolla and Toyota needed a bigger car so they got the Commodore, Nissan needed a commercial ute and van so they got the XF Falcons and ford needed a smaller car and they got the Pintara......... most of these dual model deals in Australia came about after the government limited the range of vehicles one manufacture could import in to Australia....... and to offset import duties.

I don't think China has the same restrictions and the financial rewards would make it unviable..... especially with generators.

Coolone. Great answer.

Interesting, MTM was on my list thank you for the info

Yes we purchased the 4.4 MTM through AGR. The genny is quite good for the price, but I would not expect to to last as long as the Honda or Yamaha gennies. Their service was appalling and they did not send in time as stated on their website. I kept asking "When will you send it?" The robotic replies I got over the next week or so only said

"Whilst we usually ship items on the same day as your payment clears, we are unable to guarantee delivery by a certain date as once they leave our warehouse they are entirely out of our hands unfortunately."

Following the television report, a lot was said on the Facebook eBay sellers page, and not all good :O.

Do you really need a 4.4 kva for camping? We have kept the Honda 2 for back up when caravanning, and needed it when the MTM refused to start during the power outages of last winter's storms.

My Fisher and Paykel fridge runs with no problems from the Honda, but would not start on the MTM, although someone in Queensland has a similar fridge and powers their house from the MTM during cyclonic power outages and theirs worked.

very interesting reading Harry. MTM geny might be ok but certainly not sure about AGR. Thanks mate.

MTM is the name AGR put on their generators..... there is no such generator manufacture called MTM.

Some don't get it!

BTW it's not 4.4kva, this is from AGR's own web site.....

"This range topping 2013 4400i Series is powered by an advanced 150cc over head Cam 4 stroke engine providing a maximum 3500 Watt output while easily maintaining 3000 Watts;"

Opps..... thought they said 4400w not Kva.

So yes 3000w and 3500w.

Thank you for your comment, it is good to hear some one that has had a positive experience with Fuji
