I think ive asked this before and so have others but its what you pay for, if its cheap then i cant see it lasting that long but i may be wrong and others might have brought this and there good.

Is there not welded that well it will leak over time i guess.

Im sure someone will shed some real light over this as im not a pro...

It's just made without the usual ridiculous mark up by the seller, it may well be made in a different country where labour/materials are cheaper, that may explain the price.
I don't know you'd be any worse off with this than 1 of the big names, as I've never yet heard of the big boys in this game fixing/replacing under warranty, even when there are issues like breakages leaks etc.
Personally I'd go for a airtec, very solidly built, not the prettiest but do the job, unnecessarily heavy though!!
