I'll look out for the Clarke brand. Presumably you would warn against the sub-£300 bargains sold by the likes of B&Q?

I would most defintely give any of those cheaper frame generators and such like from the DIY chains a very wide berth and certainly wouldn't plug any sensitive electronics into them. The Clarke generators you will also see badged-up with the Kipor brand name with a model number prefix of "IG" followed by the VA rating. This is the cheapest I've found the 2.2KVa model:

Hyundai also do a decent line of inverter generators which come somewhere between this price point and the genuine Hondas, certainly worth a look.
