Air-X 12v wind Gen lifespan?

Does anyone outthere own one of the Air-X 12v land wind Gen?
Was thinking about getting one but don't know much about that product? What is the lifespan of a small wind Gen anyways?

I don't own the land version but have instead the marine Air-X version. I don't think there is much difference except for some non-corrosive metals used in the marine type. The book said, if memory is correct, to expect more than 5 years, and likely to go 10 or more. I see quite a few older air-x units installed aboard sailboats that are still working fine. I use my Air-X to keep a single group 27 battery topped off for use of the bow thruster on my sailboat.

The AIR is not considered one of the better bets out there for wind power...the older ones had noise problems and they apparently solved that by slowing it down in higher wind, meaning that it drops off production dramatically at 30 or 35 mph wind.
   I have the older 500 watt turbine from the company that SW Windpower bought. But they dropped this little turbine (H-20). It has been flying for about 7 untroubled years so far.
