Is the "R218P12" a disposable unit as well? I see the white one is.

Yes it is. I'm on my second one, the first one lasted over four years and probably would've lasted longer if i hadn't put it in storage. something the manufacturer does not recommend.

None of the Maxtec devices are dispoable that I know of. Maxtec are hands down the best analyzer I've ever used. Most accurate. Best part is care and maintanence. Most other analyzers need to be sent back to the manufactor every year to get recalibrated and serviced. Not maxtec, just need to replace sensor once a year. Another great feature is the battery. They use AA or AAA batteries. Easy to replace. Their competitors in most cases have very specialized batteries. In most cases you have to send them back to replace battery. Highly recommend Maxtec.

I don't think this is expected to be disposable, been using it for an year now...

Not worth fixing. We have bunches of portable units all over the place. 3-5 years is normal.

Sorry, I have no idea where to get parts. At its price, the unit is disposable.

Sorry to hear you got suh a short use...I got only about 12 hours total use when the same thing happened. I contacted optima and was told it would cost $100+ to repair plus shopping..what a rip-off. If anyone else knows of a substitute that will project as wall as the pk201 does and NOT made by optima, please advise.

That's a question for the manufacturer and/or product seller. I no longer have the unit.

I wouldn't worry about the picture. The product will have an expiration date on the package. The components do have a defined lifespan, after which the unit should be replaced. It's a very easy installation.

Uh.. ye-ah! Seriously, this things dont last forever. What's the alternative.. get it repaired? Good luck with that.I'm not being a smart ass.. I'm realistic. At the price you originally paid, a unit with reparable parts would be 2 -3 times more expensive.

ditto here J. White ... 26 months to a great looking pile of USELESS stainless, electronics but a beautiful (non-working) LCD... for a premium product this is ridiculous

Not sure. From what I can tell these units are disposable. It says "unbreakable" but "unfixable" is more accurate.

This is a disposable product. The battery cannot be replaced by the consumer.

mine appears to be a brother unit, but likely remanufactured. did not come in brother packaging and had no brother literature. was wrapped in bubble paper and strapping tape.

Mine is white. Mostly plastic. Works fine, but I have to say its a little loud sometimes.. Probably not all of them because this is the same unit as the one that we had been renting from a spring water company and that one was quieter

I think it is the same unit. I think mine has the same warranty. But they said they are NOT respecting the warranty since they are under bankruptcy....

Mine are disposable. One co2 thing lasts me a whole pint of whipped cream. I love mine.
