It is a fact that many, if not all, dealership stores will not work on any other brand but the one they sell. Example the Honda generator dealership here in town can, by contract agreement, only work on Honda's. It is the same with many other dealership stores. Any independent repair facility will of course work on Any brand. It was that very same dealership, a friend of ours that told us the Kipor was a rip off of the Honda generator with @90% of the parts being the same. They could easily repair it but were not permitted to. In fact a local RV dealershp took on the Kipor line . He was a "authorized Honda dealer and repair facility. Honda found out and told him if he wanted to continue to sell Honda's he had to drop the Kipor line...He dropped Kipor. There are however a lot more Honda dealareships than KIPOR..something to consider.We have never had a probem with our Kipor. We run it every month for 30 min's. Sears repair facilites are good with all brands. We got the Kipor at a really good price but The Honda would be a better choice for many of he above reasons.
