Pretty sure they are all from the same manufacturer. As far as I have heard they are OK.

I bought the one that auto Atlanta is offering for $49 installed just fine but unfortunately it broke less than 300 miles I have sent it back and they're sending me a replacement

Is AA selling a Chinese repro? The label should state the country of origin.
VDO is the original supplier and they are $167 at Pelican.

they are great, put one on a drill with a speedometer and ran it day and night for four days, never missed a beat. We love them

Four days, WOW! That's about a 1 1/2 month of a couple hour per day commute. Not very impressive life time test...

Well, really depends on the RPM. If you were spinning at a rate equivalent to say 60 mph, that's still less than 6,000 miles.
