Which Kipor to buy .... ?????

[Colinevan]

Well i think im going to go the geny route but would like to know which model to go for.

Iv seen the 980, 1000 and 1300 models which relate to the power output in watts. Which is the most popular jobbie?

From what i understand, how many chargers etc can you run off one. I hear that some owners have at least 3 power supplies running with around 5 chargers etc. Will the 980 model cope with this surge.

Any advice people can give me on the kipor range is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

none...as far as im aware honda have a court order ruling because the kipor ones were a blatant copy of their gennies,i seem to recall that kipor genies were being confiscated on sight and crushed,i will have a look and see where i read it,it was a bit ago

Theres still loads available to be honest. You are right though about the crushed jobbies.... I'll just make sure that if a really cheap one becomes available thats its not in 50 pieces lol

all im saying is that if you have one of the illegal ones you can have it taken from you with no warning,no compo and your down a few hundred quid so just be aware what your buying.and what you see people selling.

[losixxx]

think thats more the shop selling them rather than people using them

Tbh though i dont think that Honda Uk would actually challenge an operator of a Kipor geny asking then to politely hand it over as its identical to one of theres lol.... They would only concentrate on xxx such a companies stock if they were still manufacturing them and selling them on clearly disregarding Hondas lawsuit. This happens all the time with almost every thinkable item thats in use all over the world. They would only go after the big fish as they say

Just imagine a rainy national full of miserable racers abouts to have there kipor 's revoked lmao..

and for some reason you think that wouldnt happen?

while i agree that honda would be targetting the main importers/sellers etc,they want everyone of those kipor gennies that have gotten honda copied parts in,trashed.

honda lost a lot of money over this in sales as the kipor ones were a lot cheaper than the honda ones,now honda has the injuctions ,you try to buy one of the illegal ones and you could land in very hot water..it wouldnt take honda a long time to search forums and google as we do to see where they are being sold and bought,now i know its very unlikey you would get done,but isnt that what car tax dodgers say?

the importers had all the kipor ones confiscated and crushed..
