Have been looking at generators for a while trying to decide what to buy. Had a look at the Kipor generator. It's an exact copy of the Honda (except for the case colour), the Kipor 2Kva was $1350 and the Honda 2Kva was $2269. Things were looking good until I asked about warranty. Apparently Kipor don't provide any warranty, the place selling the generator provides the warranty and apparently there are only 2 providers in Australia who can provide warranty assistance. They are Powerlite and Primus. If you buy your generator from a Powerlite dealer then you can't get your generator fixed by a Primus dealership and vice versa. This could lead to all sorts of problems if you get away from your local area and have a generator problem. Just something to take into consideration.
I ended up purchasing a Yamaha 2400iS, ($1899) which has even better specs than the Honda but is slightly bigger overall and supposedly weighs 30kg (it doesn't feel that heavy when I lift it). If anyone else uses the Yamaha 2400iS I would be interested in their comments
