This has certainly been my Bunnings experience. And from the folk who service our generator (back up for our solar remote power system) I understand that a cheap generator is indeed a very short-term item. Our Honda has lasted many years beyond what would be expected. Chinese copies as Jason said can be expected to last a year - again this is not from personal experience, but from very trusted and experienced sources.
