reliability???? Do they work for years?

We are only on it's second year of use. So far, so good. I do not like that the fan runs all the time. We have an older dehumidifier that the fan only runs when it is needed.

I can only attest to the 7 months I've had mine. We live in Iowa and ours runs nonstop in our basement. We have a 10ft supply hose attached to it for drainage rather than emptying the basin. To date it has done its job flawlessly and I am happy with it.

I have had one since last July and it has run continuously without any issues. I have it pump the water into a rain barrel and we use it to water our plants. You just need to clean the filter screen on the unit every few months. Very simple procedure and takes about 5 minutes to do. So far, very reliable.

I have had them for about 4 months with no issues. They are mechanical switches so I am an guessing they will last a while since they did not fail immediately. I have them controlling lamps.

I've had mine for about a year, and have no problems with them. They are build very solidly.

If you use these on a regular basis (daily, weekly, even bi-monthly) they continue to work for years. If you fail to use them on a regular basis (in a bathroom were no one takes a shower for 6-8 months) that is generally where they fail.

I've had mine for about two years...maybe longer and mine never unstiffened. I love them to death, but the cables are horrible. Note : they still work

I have not had any problems at all. Have been using them for over a year now.

They are good quality. 20 years? I have had them for 2 years now and they seem to be doing ok. However I cannot assess whether they will last 20 years. If you are looking for a good long term investment in your audio setup it may be better to look for options that explicitly guarantee long term duration, as this ones don't say anything about that. In my opinion, if these babies give you 5+ years, it was already a good investment, as I love the sound they have.

If by "work" you mean are they compatible? Yes they are. If you mean do they "work" as in "will they function properly?" I hope they "work" longer than mine did.

They will eventually quit working but, mine are still going strong. Warranty, I don't believe there is one after the first year.

If they were more reliable, they would be fine. We use(d) them to light interviews in a dim room about 2 hours a week. However, we bought 2 kits (6 lights) and 3 of them have ceased to function. We have had them less than a year. Additionally, they tend to blow through bulbs pretty quickly. They were good to get us started but we are ready to upgrade to better quality.

When they say 7 year life, they're really close. Bought 4 of these units in Oct, 2004. They have worked well over the years and haven't had any problems. Last month, one generated an "ERR.." code and just last week, another generated the same "ERR.." code. It looks like they've lived their useful life and I'll replace them without calling the manufacturer. Technically, I'm just curious how they can predict the 7-year life...???? Great product though.

I'm not sure, but I have two that have worked perfectly, one for over 3 years and 1 for more than 2 years.

I have had mine for over a year(never used them) and when I tested lately they worked fine. Nevertheless all batteries can eventually discharge so I would check hem periodically Maybe every 6 months. Since they are for emergencies you want to be sure they will work.

Yes! I've had mine for over a year. Just don't drop them or they will break..

I've had these around for a long time and never any problem. I've gone a year at a time and no problems.

Yes they do fizzle out over time due to battery wear, but this photo may have been posted several years ago and never updated. It's up to the seller to ship units that have recent dates code. At Small Fleet Parts we only ship current units with a full warranty to work.
