Well, the Nissan will way outlast the komatsu.
They liscence the nissan engine etc., and make it in korea (or wherever) and in my experience, it's just not the same.

I have no idea why you'd be scared of the mazda's, they are the toughest little engines I know of.

The short story is, if you are not going to use the unit a ton everyday, then the cheaper brands will do just fine.

So I'd suggest tcm, hyundai, daewoo etc.



All the big brands will sell you a superior unit, but @ 188 hours/year, you'd never see the difference.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
