Generators

I assume you are a honda fan, or have you actually heard anything about Genquip?
Cheers neil
P.S. if I am only going to use it 2 or 3 times a year, I don't see how I can justify the extra dollars, unless they are total duds.

Yo Neil,

Have done much research via this forum and on my own.

The gold award always seems to go with the Honda. I currently have one on lay-by 2kva job.

I do know for a fact that there has been quite a few probs with the Kipor (also see on this forum) and one dealer in Cairns will no longer sell due to the number of returns.

As far as the genquip goes I really do not have any knowledge save they very rarely get a mention here .....
Grrr!!!

Further to my last- just had a check of the genquip and it is a rebadged KIPOR.

Don't go near them = I know some swear by the Kipor but as has been stated - you get what you pay 4.

Grrr!!!

Yeah they do look exactly alike now you mention it
Thanks again, I on my way to the shed to get my grovel pads out.

Thanks I also think along those lines, but there is always exceptions to the rule, so I thought someone out in forum land may have either heard or had personal experience with Genquip, you think if they were total rubbish CW magazine would shy away from promoting them.
Cheers and thanks Kim

Engel make quite a good gen set around $ 600.00 cheaper than honda

Also look at Yamaha. I've had a 700w unit for around 25 years and it's been an excellent little unit.

It'd be helpful is you let us know what you want to use a generator for. I purchased a 2kva Honda 18 months ago which is capable of running power tools for bush repairs. However, if you only need to run a fridge, lights etc one of the smaller capacity models will do fine.

Regards

Kim
