Honda generators are good and quiet but not cheap.

Depending where you intend using it, some events are now arguing for diesel generators rather then petrol. I believe the argument for diesel gennys is that they are safer to refuel!

High temperatures, smoking especially etc and refuelling petrol tanks not the safest option. Yes I know Darwin awards etc.

Wow, really shocked at that. I had to track down a replacement pipe last year and even spoke to a ' kipor' engineer who was very helpful to the point of giving me his mobile number if I got any further problems !!!
Has been a worth while purchase though when you compare retail costs Thumbs Up Dave
