I've had mine a couple years now and they still work perfect. I do bring them inside in the winter though

Free for life. No extra fee. However, Garmin gets to decide what the "life" of each product is. I suppose you can count on at least four or five years. I've used the unit for some time now and really enjoy it.

Yes. Thats what I wanted to know. I just needed someone to tell me how many years I might expected to be using this thing and you gave me a good estimate. Thanks.

Yes, seven years. And it is pretty accurate in that timing, so at 6 years 9 months I toss and replace.

It states lifetime however, I have yet to have to see if this is really true.

If I remember correctly, it's 5 years. If you want to know more click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCYpBWZLFlY

I believe the recommended time is 6 mos. I have kept it for longer and it;s been just fine.

I dont know about super long term, but I've had mine for about 4-5 months and so far i dont see any signs that lead me to believe anything will happen anytime soon.

I think the manual from Panasonic says a big number like 10,000 which is 5 years.

I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I think it's 10 years for the motor. Less for other parts, one year I think. It's built to last.

It varies but usually anywhere from about 5-10 days depending on where you live.

If your units are at ten years in service they are at end of useful life according to the manufacturer. The manufacture date is in the bottom of the unit

the packaging says 6 years, i tend to agree with that as that about the time toner will lose polarity.

I've had mine for 6 months, and it did start to turn yellow at around 5 months. At ten bucks though, I'm not really complaining.

My first one lasted over 10 years. Read my earlier review for more details.

I'm not really certain. I would think it will last me 5-7 years with how little I use and how infrequently I need to clean it.
