As an occasional toy I am sure it will be fine, but drown it a few times/cover it in slurry, and it might be a different story.
Most cheap chinese gear is built down to a price, because that is what we the customers want.

I would go more along the lines of this, get a good quality second hand one rather than a cheap new one. The better brands can also be rebuilt so even if the second hand one needs a bit of work you will be much better off in the end. I did this with a huskey, was cheap because it wasn't working (solenoids) but the motor was good, but all parts are still available and after a good clean and service it was fine.
