If the generator was a Honda that set me back $2,000 dollars, or an Onan that came in at over $3,000 - sure, I would be pretty upset if it became totally obsolete and no parts were available in 5-10 years. But for a $250.00 Chinese import, I don't care if parts are not available in 5-10 years (I could possibly adapt or make other parts work if needed). "If" it does make it 10 years, that is only $25.00 per year - pretty good depreciation ratio. By then there will be a newer technology that is most likely cheaper and more efficient.
I don't necessarily disagree with you. But there has been alot of talk about these being fairly hi quality units. If that is the case, it is not unreasonable to assume that, if this isn't heavily used, it is quite possible that it can last 5 years.
Forget 5-10 years, since this thread has started, the models going to pep boys have changed a few times in the span of 1 year.
And I am not bashing, I am probably buying one of these units this week, just trying to find out which one.
And yes, I keep stuff for a long, long time. ;)
