We have had 2 Chinese generators in the last 5 years, first one lasted 14 months, that current one has been going 3.5 years. The mistake we made with the first was not keeping an eye on the oil. They are sensitive to oil viscosity and cleanliness. We change the oil twice a year now, and check volume every 20hrs of runtime.
We only use ours once a month for about 8hrs a time. Ours is a 3kva petrol.
