We don't have actual data to confirm durability or non durability among the brands. Of course, the only ones complaining are those with problems. What percentage do they comprise of?

I've read a complaint stating that they would never buy this brand any more because of durability issues. Only to find out the real cause was the fried lizard. Their solution was to buy a different brand. LOL!

Also, customer negligence. During a brownout, did they pull the plug to protect from power surges? Have they grounded it properly? Did they check the voltage whether it's fluctuates from 220v to 190v? Did they follow periodic maintenance? Are they cleaning the filters regularly? Things like these can and will shorten the life of the product if not properly addressed.
