Loncin generators?

[Phill]

Looking for a suitcase type generator of 2KW, and have eliminated some of the cheaper makes. I had set my heart on a Honda EU20i but at just over £1K it's expensive, considering it will only be used occasionally. I've now seen a Loncin which is similar to the Honda, but half price. Just wondered if anyone had any first hand experience as I've not heard of them before.

Chinese copy, probably fine until you need spare parts.

Kipor.

Absolutely fine, especially if you need parts.

He's right but if you can stretch to the Honda you'll notice the difference. I did when we sold the Kippor and bought a Honda, much quieter and smoother running than the excellent Kippor. You'll also sell it for most of what you pay for it when/if you're done with it.
