I have had it since November 2019 and so far it has worked great. Living on side of a mountain l get a lot of gusty wind. My last wind turbine burned out due to the gusts up here. Which lasted a year and half. I plan to get another one next year. With my solar panels and this turbine it does the job keeping batteries charged. I mean for $200 bucks you can't expect it to fully charge the batteries at night. But does help my batteries. As long as you have wind of course.
