TPU, in general, turns yellowish/brown after a while. Have any long-term users experienced this?

I've had for approx 3 months and, although that isn't really "long term," its still exactly as clear as the day I got it.my only issue with this case, however, is that it seems, I don't know, sort of...not exactly cut right...meaning it EITHER is easy to use the power and volume buttons OR use a USB charger, tough for both at same time unless you really stretch and monkey with it.

The surface of the heated plate on our unit appears to have started discoloring. I'm not sure it's rust;could be lime build-up. We've only had the unit about six months, so this is a little unexpected. The unit works great in all other respects.

Mine is the same. I have used this product for about 1 yr and like it very much!

I've used Tide Free & Gentle and Tide Original. Both have been fine. I've also bleached the daylights out of them with no issues.

As to the yellowing: NO, it doesn't turn yellow with time. I've had mine for over a year and no problems. I can't vouch for the easy removal

Mine became very thick and goopy within a month, but I use it almost daily. I just ordered the Seche Restore to fix that problem. It is totally worth the slight headache and luckily, the manufacturer has a solution.

I havent experienced it yet with the clear one I got, and I've had it for 2 months. I have had 2 cases that were each half the price of this case bought at walmart or something and they turned yellowish although it was a longer span of time. So this type of material must discolor. I wonder if there is any way to prevent it "

I have not seen any discoloration. You might want to check your filters. I clean my every 3 months and change the hepa filter every 6 months because mine runs every day.

The first 3 sets of bottles it was an off-white color, now they are white. It may have been that the outside clear capsule was discolored? The color doesn't seem to affect the effectiveness of it and it still works great for me! And like some of the other reviews state... you need to keep using it once you stop all of the pain and other symptoms come back within days.

hey Barbara, I Have not had a problem thus far. Color is still radiant. Have in my guest bathroom and that could be the reason. This bathroom is seldom used.

When I contacted support I told them that the yellowing was reason I was contacting them and they said no problem. I got my new case 2 days later. So I would have to answers yes to your question based on their action of replacing my case.

I think mine was doing that as well. We threw it out. I scrubbed it and it was still discolored.

I have not had that experience. I've used cleansers and scrubbed off hard water deposit without losing any of the finish or color.

Yes. I recently used up Level 1 (30%) and have just started use Level 2 (50%). No defect; it does have a noticeable Yellowish hue.

Mine started discoloring also. I wish I could help you but I haven't been able to clean mine as well.

Yes. I've used mine and clean it after every use but still see some green/orange tint no matter what.

I've had a similar experience. I suspect it has to do with minerals in the water. Assuming it comes from your tap water, it should be safe. If you really think this a problem then you could try using distilled water. I'm not a chemist, but the heating surface appears to be Teflon or something similar. So I typically remove the discoloration with mild soap and water, the sooner after it's cooled enough the better, or with some vinegar. As for safe, I use my regularly and have had no problems.
