What is the typical lifespan of this magnet when in constant use on, say, a refridgerator door?

Well, as far as I know magnets don't ever lose their magnetic properties, so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the typical lifespan.... but I can say I have purchased these magnets and they are very strong - much stronger than a typical (decorative) refrigerator magnet you might buy in a novelty store or something. So I think they would last you a very, very long time!

Who knows -- attached to a metal door it would seem to lose connection at 15' of the freezer. I've also had it be pretty reliable at 20' of the refrigerator. It may be that the device range is different given different temperatures

Barely. I tried some refridgerator magnets on it, and it will stick. But if I hold the sheet vertically, the magnets are not strong enough, and will slip down. However, if the magnetic sheet itself is on the fridge, then fridge magents will stick on it.

None have broken in their quiet life in refrigerator magnets. Very strong -- just ordered more

I installed one on my refrigerator 10 years ago and it is still working. I had a 30 year old whirlpool upright freezer I installed another one on it to fix intermittent compressor start problem. It worked for a few weeks but the freezer compressor failed no fault of the RCO. If properly installed and it don't fix the problem you probably need a new appliance or professional opinion.

I put it in a metal hollow core door and it works fine for me. I've not had any problem with the magnets.

"Outdoor" is a loose term. I would prevent any water from coming into contact with the unit. However I believe the product would hold up to dust and dirt. Heat may degrade the magnet over time. The cold may not have any affect on it.

i tried several different regular refridgerator magnets; they all stuck, not very good, but they stuck. they stuck to the fridge a little stronger.

I have a five day igloo cooler that I used in my cook shed before I got my refrigerator and ice maker installed. I was going through the old plastic hinges and latches all of the time. The stainless steel hinges and latches have lasted for around a year. Best investment I ever made. If I buy a new cooler I will replace the hinges and latch with stainless before the plastic ones even break.

Not sure precise temps but, you can set it low enough to freeze food in certain spots. I would say normal range for any regular refridgerator

I used it on a refrigerator for about two weeks. For a washer I might leave it on for a month to account for different usage. Then average it out for the year.

I use mine in my kitchen but believe me it is nothing like your regular refrigerator magnet...it is super magnetic,I use it on anything metal in the vicinity of the tv which is in my window, have to move it around something's depending on signal....if the area you plan to use it is not metal I would think it would slide...hope this helps

I don't know exactly but the material is well made and I expect would be acceptable for that application. It's the same material used for your refrigerator magnets.

Don't know yet. Not yet set up for use. Will surely get answer in 6-8 months of use. Have used other smaller magnetic device in the Toilet Tank. All old build up slowly went away and no new build up for last 5 years. Nik.

Well, I didn't need the clip & wanted it gone for the same reason you did. So the magnets would be close enough to adhere to the fridge. I can't remember exactly how I removed it but managed to do so without breaking the timer. If you get a magnifier & look at the parts, I bet you could figurer out how to get it off just like I did. :) Now I'm very happy with the timer & all its features.
