This thread's reappearance, and Larry's story about his genset in his
workvan reminds me that we're about to buy a 2000W honda as our backup
and shoreside work genset.

However, it appears that Kipor either OEMs the Honda EU gensets, or
someone else does for both of them, as I can see literally no
difference between them other than color - shape, buttons, outlets,
specs, you name it.

As Kipor makes a line of gensets that would do Northern Tool or Harbor
Freight proud, I am guessing that they're the maker.

So, has anyone had any experience with them? The bigger question,
really, is what about warranty? I'm assuming it would be easier to get
a Honda warranty exercised in the wild, but if it's like buying an
extended warranty on a major appliance (not worth it, cuz they never
break, statistically), perhaps it's of no moment.

So, the second question; among the Honda 1000 or 2000 owners, who's had
a warranty claim?

Thanks.

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely
nothing-half so much worth doing as simply messing,
messing-about-in-boats; messing about in boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter,
that's the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never
get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to
do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
