Hi we have had a wolf genni for over 2 years now with no problems. They have a good review in this months Pratical caravan and if you have a cover for them they are just a quite as the 4 stroke hondas at 10x the price. Generators have had a lot of bad press on here just lately but used on a CL/CS & Rallies they are fine, still not as good as EHU and at £50 you cannot go wrong...

buy cheap, buy twice. save your money and buy a honda ex750, they're the quietest around and bullet proof.

Not sure thats always true.  I have had some good cheap bargains that have lasted me for years.  Some still going strong now.  I have also paid a lot of money for items that have packed up pretty quickly.

Hi, all I have the powercraft labelled generator, exactly the same just diff. labelling own brand etc. And have had it for 3 years, it's never missed a beat always starts, power is sufficient and is not really noisy, Just a gentle hum...but if you want to pay £480+ for a honda.....

For £480 you could buy 9 of the screwfix ones.  I have always found with a lot of the high branded ones, you are paying £80 for the unit and £400 for the badge. I cant really comment though as I have only ever had Honda boat engines, and they were no more or less reliable than any others.
