Hallo nairalanders,

I'm looking for a generator now, and got price quote for :

Honda 5kv N285,000
Elepaq 5,5Kv N95,000

The price gap are too much that make me confused.

Anyone can tell me , is it worth it to try ELEPAQ instead of Honda?

Any share or thought will be very helpful.

it really surprising. so i guess your best bet is to do a market survey in shops where they sell original generators and ask for them. then you would know the difference.

The Honda's price is from authorized dealer, while elepaq price come from a regular shop,

I really confused, with this cost difference, i can buy more other stuff, but im afraid the Elepaq could last only 2 months

Any idea on Elepaq's generator quality?

The one for 95k is china made while the one for 285k is japanese.
If you can afford that of 285k, go for it as it can give you upto 15 years of good service.
The one that cost will only last for 1-2 years if well used before the need for overhaul.
Verify from the dealers whether they are actually selling original japanese

Appetito actually advised correctly. I use elepaq at home and after about 2 years I had to do general overhauling of the generator. But i have heard from people who use original Honda or Yamaha that their generators are very strong and durable. One other hing is that if Honda generator is 5kva, then u can be sure of getting exactly that from it whereas the same cannot be said of elepaq (using mine as a case study).

Do market survey and then make your decision depending on your preference.

@ Poster, If u have the money fine buy Honda. When i moved to my house, my neighbours bought Honda from Honda dealers @ N215,000 but i had the money, i make more money than them,however, i decided to give elepaq a try for N55,000 with the mind dat 55 k will not kill me should it pack up (it was a risk sha) and i could use the rest of the money for something else (atleast gud clubbing   ).
we both used our gen but i used mine more than they did as i just can not stand not having light (day or night so my gen used to run for days unless i needed to top the fuel up) thanks to Nepa,theirs had free after sale service for 3 months, mine had nothing, however, whenever their honda guy came, i asked him to service mine as well (back pocket pay).  
To cut the long story short,it is 2 yrs mine and one of the neighbour's gen is still running, while the other neighbour's own has parked up due to cracked cylinder or something.
one thing u have to know is that mine is very noisy, it sounds like the machine used in grinding pepper but it did the job.
So if you can afford the Honda, fine but if you can not and have something else to do with the money, why not buy the elepaq while saving small small for it's replacement in a year or 2?
Just like atasteve said, you may need to buy a higher power rating than you desire. trust china
This is my 1k contribution.

please whats the difference btw the yellow and red elepaq generator, because there is a price difference

As far as the generators have the same specifications, the color makes no difference. The same goes for Elepaq.
