Have a look on the omnivac site - they do two, a Chinese Loncin and a Honda engined one.
I'm using a Loncin - seems ok so far.

I have the Honda gen and 110v Vac. The Honda starts first time every time.
Honda renowned quality or a similarly priced Chinese make I had never heard off. I had no choice to make.
-
Loncin was way cheaper than a Honda so i am expecting trouble but so far it starts first time every time (electric start). I think Kev R uses one for pretty heavy commercial work without any problems. If mine falls apart after the warranty i'll go Honda. Stephill were the cheapest range i saw that used Honda engines.

so what yr saying ftp is go for a make like sdmo/pramac which both use the honda engine rather than a Honda genny
to get myself covered was just going to get a 6.5 kva machine is this what the lads have done or have you bought on the watts rating ???
-
To be perfectly honest i looked at what Omnivac were using (5kva) and sourced my own.
If you want the best then buy a Honda but be prepared to pay dearly for it. I'm no expert on generators but would think the engine was the most important part so if you want a Honda like you said then there are ways of getting one with that engine in it.
-
Sorry to confuse, but I meant a Honda engined generator. Didn't even know Honda do a complete generator. The Loncin was about the same price as my Stephill Honda generator from Omnivac. I did check a few other places and Omnivac's price was competitive.
-
the Honda engines are very good on them, they use them on Go-Karts
they last forever
-
I have used an Omnivac for the past two years and bought a Pramac 6.5 kva Honda generator and its been great. I have just upgraded to Omnivacs latest 4200 watt vac and thats even better than the old one 8)

how much was the new vac ?
-
I have the Loncin from Omnivac its been no problem - starts first time every time. I found it to be competitively priced, especially as I would not buy one from ebay!!! The Loncin is a good generator I'm really pleased with it.
What a strange reply? I've seen the Gutter vac on ebay from Omnipole.
Have seen this company on ebay too http://www.pump.co.uk/shop/Generators/PetrolSilent/d24/sd77?code=LC5000DDC
Also seen Cleaning Spot and Pure Freedom too amongst others.
So not all things on ebay are bad ;)

Hi Kev
Its difficult to judge as my old vac had a lot of use and it had lost power in the end. But the new one seems to have got a lot more suction. As to the price Steve hopefully Glyn will come on and let you know as i have my paperwork in my office and i cannot remember.
Cheers

Steve was supplied with one early as he supplies feed back to us.
