Honda, i have used 4 different honda generators..They last well for a decade with proper maintainance and shelter from the elements.
2.5Kv is easy for Hondas.. I used the EG3000 for 2.5Kv and i have now a EU3000i for 2.5Kv ,quiet running eco throttle by honda as well.. The EU is more expensive but lasting longer and fuel saving is excellent.. I used a small EU1000i before but had to surrender it at the airport because it smelled like fuel and they forbid it on the flight..

I also had a Big Quiet honda 4500 heavy duty outdoors grade.. I traded that for a peice of Honda grass trimmer.
I just bought a new Honda grass mower also.
I am honda all the way for small engine equipment.. but i drive a toyota car grin..

The Honda EG3000 lasted me 4 years using around 8hours a day every day and even used with some exposure to rain and such.. The thing was abused and still gave me faithful service for 4 years..

The Honda EU3000 gave me 5 years service doing 12 hours a day and even a few months of 20 hours a day.. Then the engine and carburator was rebuilt and it has gone right back into service but i travel much so it sees very little use now by my neighbours. Those things can reach 20 years with lite useage of 4 hours a day or less..

Are you using all your Hondas in Nigeria or overseas?

USA.. All my generators are in Hawaii and i have since fled that place as of November 2013.. I got a new place in another state in USA where there is regular metered electricity, so no genrator here.. I only bought new Honda grass cutting equipment for my new house here..
My neighbours by my place in hawaii are keeping my generator there. I think they use it for washing machine and then they use a smaller one for their solar backup.. My house there is abandoned to the bush and the neighbors keep my valuables..

If i get a generator for Nigeria, it will be a Honda EU2000. But for now i have started a solar power kit for Nigeria.. If i visit and the place proves to draw me there regularly, then i will get a honda generator to back up the solar kit..
Also by now, i have over ten years experience with honda and know how to do all of the basic servicing by myself.. My neighbor in hawaii worked as a mechanic for the local Honda equipment dealer and taught me a lot when servicing mine.. He also did solar installations and taught me that as well when servicing mine.. Honda is easy to self service because nothing major goes wrong for a very long time. Just change the oil and air filter as ordered, keep an eye on the spark plug and clean the spark arrestor if your model comes with one.. The carburator usually goes bad before the engine and we just service the carburator or get a new one for very cheap after 4 to 5 years of daily use.

Honda is more expensive but cheaper in the long term over 10 years.. Some people can buy a new cheap generator every year or two, and constantly spend to repair it, that will add up to more than the cost of one honda generator used and serviced for ten years...

I searched in Nigeria and they are not easy to find if they even sell there. They sell in UK for 240 volt version and in USA for 120 volt version.
My best guess is to search outside Nigeria and import it yourself. Easy to find and buy here in USA and here we have constant electricity.
Its very expensive so maybe thats why they dont get stocked in Nigeria where they will not be afforded. People prefer to buy the big enclosed diesel generators when they have that knd of money, and those big expensive diesel generators are very reliable and long lasting. The big diesel can run 24 hours a day for months without any need to service it.
Good luck searching and let me know if you find where to buy in Naija. grin

Buy Tec Thermocool.

Their current models can run 1,000 hours non stop.

I have used all th generators mentioned above except Sumec and I must say Tec generators are very very reliable.

Honda should be numbers one but original Honda generator cost is way too high.
