Best advise is to STAY AWAY. They will tell you what you want to hear about parts available and so on. Your better to spend the $$ on something with a reputation and has people to help you. All the name brands(Apex, DRR, Polaris, Kasea, Honda, etc) will cost you less in the end as far as head aches, customer service and parts. Good luck with the decision.
