Openroad 13000 Panther series 2s

[FKN Slayer]

Do you guys have any experience with this company? Every YouTube video I watch, has this company advertised now. I know it isn't American made and you probably wouldn't want to trust it with your life , but It is also $415, not $2000. The reviews all seem pretty good for it. I was hoping for some 1st hand knowledge from someone on here.
If I had to guess my usage with any winch, it will be 5 times or less in the next 10 years. Those uses will also probably be in my yard, dragging trees. My wheeling will consist of driving on the Outer Banks, so nothing hardcore. Overlanding in my area is all relatively tame. I don't anticipate winching offroad, but in a pinch, it would be nice if it worked.

Probably comes out of the same Chinese factory as all the other off branded winches of the same type offered for sale. Just Google the companies contract address at the bottom of their web page, it comes up as some residential house and that should tell you something.

If me, going down this route for something similar, I would say at least look for something like the Harbor Freight Badlands Apex winches bought with their extended warranty. At least then, you have physical place to deal with if you need to return it.

I checked. It is a house in New York. So much for that.

Harbor Freight XZR is $349 and for under $100 you can grab synthetic rope. If you watch sales they go on sale for $299.
