Dont go on the looks. You should evaluate your decision on some technical and warranty factorsSo I went to the market today.
Loncin is 72k 6.5kW
Grannitto is 115k 6.5kW
How is Grannitto? By the looks and quality it was looking good, solid unlike Loncin which was looking China like. So which one you prefer?
Ask the dealer why is grannitto expensive??. if it has better warranty or anything then it may be the factor.
but you are paying 43k more on Grannitto than loncin. Thats 1.5 times the cost of loncin.
Let assume that your loncin generator has a lower life and its winding will burn after 1 year and Grannitto will burn after 2 years. the cost of rewinding is approx 10k (again assumption). Your operating cost would still be lower with loncin.
I cannot tell you which to buy and which not to buy. If god forbids you face problem with a generator that i recommended than you might have a negative thought about me.
Price of the product goes up and down with supply and demand. In the time when i bought loncin. Jasco was expensive and it had huge customer demand.
Now it is highly possible that grannitto is a better chinese product than loncin. China can build any quality for a specific price.
Its your decision which to buy. If you feel that you are getting a better product grannitto then go for it. If you feel that extra 43k is not worth it? then go for loncin
Just do what gives you self satisfaction. Dont rely your decision on other peoples comments, not even mine.
