Kipor generators

I wouldn’t go so far as to say they are a “Honda” in different livery. They are, like the Honda, a 4 stroke digital inverter generator though so they are quiet and of reasonable quality. I’ve owned the 2KVA Kipor (Yellow model, not the blue ones) since 2006. I’ve used it infrequently and have had no issues with it.

I would say that the Honda and Yamaha are of much better quality and you’re paying for that.

Heres a link to a search of the forum. There are countless posts about the cheaper generators.

Hi KingAnn, just bought one last week, it was unused in the box when I got it S/H. Just filled the tank, oil and started it to test it. They recommend running them in on half load so I loaded it with a 1000w heater, it ran for about 3.5 hours on Eco throttle at that constant load. Not as good as the book says. A bit noisier but it is bigger than the 2Kv Honda or Yamaha.
My biggest problem will be the weight, 26kg dry weight but if it could be mounted so that I didn't have to lift it in-out of the storage area of our new van, this would probably not be an issue.
Depends upon what you want to run. I thought that this one would run the Air-Con when we are off site in summer. Without considering this, a smaller model could do anything else.
Paid the right price so it was a god buy, let you know if we have any other issues.
Cheers,

It's a good product however whilst the engine maybe Honda derived, perhaps and old design, the rest of the product is not. I have 2 Kipors and they have been good, the rubber feet broke on 1 unit, but due to rough handling. I wiould be happy to recommend them. They are also serviceable easily.

Have had the 2.6 for a couple of yrs now the only prob we had was sometimes it wouldn't start.the prob was the cut off switch was stuck in the off position,quick clean and haven't had a prob since.
We brought it so we could run a/c.
Price was big consideration was 1/2 the price of Honda.
Would well and truly recommend them.
Cheers

Hey

I dont own one personally but my parents do they have the bigger blue one it has been a brilliant unit for them from caravaning free camping it was even used to power a water pressure pump whilst fighting a massive bush fire on their property it pretty much saved one shed whilst the fireys an bombers saved the 2 houses so all in all id buy one. sorry i dont have alot of info on it just personal experiance i spose.
