This is the first season for my pots, however two seem fine, but one must not be draining properly because it smells like a sewer!

can't say for sure, this is my first year. They show no signs of wear. I would say several years

Depends if you purchased New or Old or Refurbished or so.They do last 3-5 years depending on how well they are looked after.

Mine last 3 hours even in light breezes. I put them in flower pots around my patio.

I've been using this set for over a year now, and the handles haven't gotten hot. I don't grab them down by the base, but I have used the big pot to cook things assembly-line style, and have never had a problem. I really love these pots.

I planted mine in a pot. One lived for a week. The other lived for a month.

I concur with the answers below and just want to add, I LOVE THESE POTS. I have two of them and they have been wonderful. Caution: they cook must FASTER then conventional pots. IOW, sauces that used to take 10+ minutes to make now take about 5-7 minutes.

we rent them where i work. so they get heavy use and abuse. typically they're used 3 or 4 days a week and last over a year before needing brushes. we usually sell them after a year and a half and they're still going strong.

The ant distributors say one to three months. Ours lasted at least seven weeks, but I bought twice the amount of ants. I wouldn't suggest that because they dug too fast. Stick with the recommended thirty ants and they'll probably last longer.

Depends on the size of the plant, your potting mix, and your climate but I would say about 1 week.

They are LED so they should lasts for around 50,000 hours on. I have had them for 3 years. I have 12 lighs throughout my home. I have had 1 go bad in that time. The whole thing (light and speaker) went bad.

I just planted in starter pots, seeds that are now two years old. I haven't had them any longer than that. They are 2 to 3 inches tall after a month of growth. My personal response would 2 years. Hope it helped you.

I bought some of these pots last year to grow vegetables in and they have held up quite well. You likely will get several years out of them and growing perennials shouldn't be a problem.

They probly would last at least two weeks, I used them for my daughters wedding flowers. So I added water a couple days before, I have been told from friends that you can reuse them I have not, I will use them again, they really make for a nice centerpiece,

About 2 weeks on average. If the soil is more wet when the globes are filled, they'll last a bit longer.If the soil is less wet, the globes won't last as long. For a 17 day trip, we put 2 globes in our larger planters and 1 in the smaller ones and that worked quite well for the period of our trip. Though all the globes were empty when we returned, the plants were fine.

Yes, you can keep them in the pots they come in--- for a time. I think I ordered them about a month before I needed them and they were fine. Stay inside with bright light.Of course the pots are small, so at some point they'll need to be transplanted into something larger. I used them as 'gifts' for an event I was hosting.I've also seen them planted into pot saucers, so you can put several together.

I have about 20 smaller smart pots and one big bag bed. The smaller ones I've been using for at least two seasons and they still look great. The bed I got only few months ago, but I expect it to last at least as long as the smaller pots. In fact, I bought the bed because I was very happy with the quality of the smaller pots.
