Just wondered if anyone here has experience with a Kipor generator. Are they as quiet as the Honda and as easy to start? They are a bit cheaper than Honda, but not as cheap as the no-name ones on ebay. I know Dave won't approve, but I've worked out it's the easiest way for me to go, given the equipment I've...

All you lovers of the English language might enjoy this: There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP' .
