<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I got the Kipor 2000. It has been flawless for the 2 seasons I have had it. It goes for about $700 shipped. The Kipor 1000 is $475 shipped on ebay. It is the same as the Honda, same size, weight, sound, but less cost. #1 selling brand in Europe they claim. <br><br>Spend the extra $175 over the home depot noise maker. You, and the other pilots will be glad you did. It's well worth it. <br><br><div><strong><em><font color="#0000bf" face="comic sans ms" size="3">Chris </font></em></strong></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div><br><br>--- On <b>Thu, 9/24/09, Budd Engineering <i><jerry@buddengineering.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Budd Engineering <jerry@buddengineering.com><br>Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Home Depot "Sportsman

I ‘m familiar with Honda quality – currently own two Honda vehicles and a Honda mower. LOL. Got 255K miles on my first ( 92) Accord and could have gone another 100K. No doubt their 1000 is the cream of the crop- but it’s a bit pricy, IMO. At last glance, the Home Depot generator weighed very near what the Honda weighs-unless I read the stats for
the wrong model. As long as it handles the job, I’m satisfied .Keep the oil clean and keep it from over-heating and it should last. The HD warranty for one year is a good way out if it is a bomb. They said that they would repair it for free or issue a refund . Now, someone out there must have one to give us a report.</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Frank</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p><div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <hr tabindex="-1"
