Oh for the love of God why did I convince Debs that Buying a Kipor Generator would be a good ideaoh:. In my defence it was £900.00 for an IG6000 which I am under the impression would power a small town.
I am sure you can see where this is going!
Well it would if the thing would work! well the engine runs but it does not produce any electric.
we brought it (or rather I did) 12 months 8 days ago because our departure on our travel was running some months late it went into storage when it was delivered. I took it out about a month ago gave it a run and checked that it was producing electric all good.
So long term test:-
Day 1 Ran for 5 hours All ok
Day 2 Ran for 5 hours All ok
Day 3 Ran for 10 mins Lost electric
Rang the supplier, they gave me number for engineer. Spoke the very nice man who talked me through what could be wrong. Its the Inverter card thats gone down.
Ok, I know its out of warranty so I'll just buy the new bit job done. Whats the price of that then I ask. £450.00 ish plus delivery to Portugal £39.00oh:
After a lot of searching online it seems that the Inverter Card is a common problem with the kipor
So the moral of the story is yes you can by a kipor more cheaply than a Honda
but in my opinion you would be mad too!
