    Counterfeit Generator Could Potentially Harm Your Business

    If an item is priced at a fraction of the original value, or when the offer is unrealistically low, then it is likely a counterfeit product. In fact, counterfeit products are increasingly becoming a global concern – circulating around the world and present in almost every market.

    That being said, big-ticket items such as generators are no exception, with unethical businesses seeking to profit by producing counterfeit generators that look identical to the original – imitating and marketing as the genuine manufacturer to mislead customers.

    Here are some implications you should know about purchasing a counterfeit generator:


    Unreliability and Safety issuee

    Counterfeiters are generally out there to make a quick profit illegally and have no interests in putting quality into their production; hence the counterfeit generators are produced at low-cost made with low-quality components in place of the original. These are neither tested for product reliability nor did safety approved, which means it could cause severe safety issue and putting lives in danger.

    Its unreliability will also put the business in dire situations such as unexpected downtime – costing a significant amount of money for restoration or replacement. On the contrary, genuine generators are manufactured to comply with stringent safety standards and built to meet all quality requirements before deployment – ensuring performance, efficiency and reliability.
