Been using a Kipor 2000 watt honda clone for about ....... must be 7 years or so. No problems. I don't use it a lot, mostly when I need to power something that my solar system will not handle like an air conditioner (small), large saw or compressor.

I paid less than $400 shipped. But then again that was a long time ago. I do routine maint. which means change the oil, and clean the spark plug.

I need to put a new pull rope on it this year. The rubber feet broke off, but that was because it was bouncing around in the back of my 4x4.

It is a bit louder than my neighbors new honda 2k, but mine was pretty quiet when I bought it.

I would do it again.
