When sellers tells you a gen is 5kva unknown to the buyer, the gen has a lesser KVA like 3 or 2 kva

But will one actually blame the buyer or the gen manufacturers because am thinking some sellers might not be aware.

Depending on the brand you want you can check their website to know how to identify the genuine generator.
Itunu97:
So my question is how can one Identify an Original Generator? Because that's what attracts me to this topic.

That's the reason why end users should find out more about the brand they are about to buy. These information are online.

Well for me, I have been using Sumec Firman generator for years now. I found out that its so easy to identify their genuine generator cos they have authorised stores in different locations, FIRMAN is engraved on 8 parts of the generator and more interestingly, they have a Service Center where you can enjoy good after sales services.

Another feature to watch out for in a good generator brand is the availability of the spare parts. This is also important

If I may ask what were some of the spare parts you were given? Becaùse its quite harď for me to get the spare part of my Generator, my Mechanic had used a wrong one for me of which I wouldn't want it to repeat it self again.
