I was reading about them on Australian 4x4 and camping forums and the reviews were pretty good, certainly as good as honda/yamaha.
Mind you that was a couple of years back so my info could well be out of date.

The place I went and looked had the honda and kipor side by side, started them up and I could see no real difference and it was even suggested at the time that they are a direct knockoff of the honda.

The other one that was of interest at the time was the subaru/robin
I have no idea of the pricing compared to the honda or kipor, but it was on the short list for when I go hunting for one
Subaru Robin
