It really does look like a Kipor so really make sure there are service facilities that can get parts for these.
The Kipor specs out identicle to a Honda and a Honda dealer I talked to showed me some literature from Honda that accuses some Chinese brands of copying Honda technology and using inferior parts and not having any parts and service network available.
Kipor is trying to establish itself in USA and maybe they have started marketing them under the Mc Cullick name.

I know someone who has a Kipor and is having trouble finding a dealer to service it.
If you have to mail them back to your retailer when you have a problem it can get very expensive. Ask for a list of dealers that can fix your Generator because the Honda guy told me they are not allowed to work on these Chinese Honda Clones and one of the larger Kipor dealers on the Internet has just stopped selling Kippors for legal reasons. Be very careful.
