CSI Winch Experience or Review?

[Tanto]

Curious if anyone has any experience with them. I've looked all over for a review but cannot find one. They are made in China, the specs on the unit I'm looking at are as follows:

CSI Integrated unit:

9500 lbs. Rate Single Line Pull.
6.0 hp /12v series wound Motor.
92', 5/16 Cable.
3-stage planetary drive.
Gear ratio 216:1 (I think)
Max line speed of 42' per minute.

Compared to Warn 9500ti:

9500 lbs single-line
4.6 hp / 12v series wound
125', 5/16 cable
3-Stage Planetary
Gear Ratio: 156:1
Max line speed 26.5' per minute

I know I have most of the CSI specs right, pretty sure on Warn but had to piece the information together.

What's the warranty like on the CSI unit?

One year. As far as I can tell it looks like a repackaged T-Max. For what it's worth, I don't really want to debate the merits of Warn's warranty.

Don't know about this unit, but do you have a link to their site?

I say go for it. Max it out, submerge it in water, use it in -25F and report back as to how it works out. There's only one way to find out.
