What is the average lifespan of the unit?

I've owned mine for close to 4 years and used it hundreds of times. Even though I run it outside (in Florida, where the humidity is high), I have not had any problems with it. Overall, I'd say it's built really well.

I've been using mine for six years and I've distilled about 700 gallons of water with it so far. I'd say it's paid for itself over the years and it's saved me from lugging home gallon jugs of water from the local bodega.

I have a "Kenmore" brand that I bought in 1982 and I am still using it! At that time I paid $75.00 for it! Have several from "Waterwise" and they are still going strong! Of course one has to keep them clean, change the filters and just take care of them. I love my distilled water, but remember one has to add mineral drops to the distilled water, because there are none left in it.

This one is still going strong! This is nicer than the first one because it's quieter. The first one I got at Sears lasted 20 years!

The unit comes with a 24 month warranty on operating parts. We've had our about a year and no problems whatsoever. So far, so good!

I just installed the unit. The manual says about once a year. I installed a filter on the water supply to the unit and the unit works very well. I had a Honeywell and it lasted 2 years, terrible piece of equipment.

Not sure of lifespan, but I know that 2 of the 3 I originally used are no longer working. I originally set these up in December 2013.

From my experience, the life expectancy is about 2 years. The only reason I keep buying these batteries is because I have several pieces of equipment that uses this battery and I don't want to just throw them away. I have about 4 of these batteries and i keep one in the charger most of the time. I have thrown away about 3 of them in the last 5 years. The battery will do well for about a year and then it will lose it's charge sitting on the shelf. I'm guessing these batteries that we are buying are several years old when we receive them. Sorry to tell you this.

Probably a bad unit. Mine only lasted a little over a year. Just outside the warranty.

I had 2. One died about a year ago and the other is still going. It will be 26 years old this January. Honestly.

I've owned two units...the first unit died after about 2.5 years and the other is on year three without any issues. Advice, don't turn up the temperature to it's highest setting....back it off and set it lower. The unit will last longer.

You'll find the mnfc. date on the inside of the unit. The unit will be good for five yrs from that date. My last one lived for almost seven yrs. before needing replacement.

We currently own two of these units. Both have been used daily for 6-9 months for 2-4 hours and are still going strong. No problems to report.

Yeah, for a small appliance like this that would seem to be the life expectancy, depending on use and charge/recharge cycles.

I believe 90 days. I replaced mine over a year ago if not longer, it is still working just as advertized. The great thing about Amazon is they will protect you if you are not happy. Not going to speak for Amazon and they will not take care of you if you are not treating them properly but if you have a genuine complaint about the unit, let Amazon know and they will help. I would buy this again.

I believe it said 10-15...but the unit begin going off randomly about 3-5 years in, and to claim warranty (if you can get them to agree)...they will make you ship it to them. The unit only costs $13. It's hardly worth the trouble to claim a warranty IMO.

The unit I bought was a gift for my oldest son. It works great and is still working. I understand the units have a 2 year warranty so all you should have to do is get in touch with them for repair and/or replacement.

I've had mine for less than a year so I've no idea how long it will last. Over one year i'd say.

I assume the warranty of life time would be honored, if I live that long. At least we haven't burned any units up, or over heated them.

I can't speak for the average lifespan, but I've had mine for 9 months now and I run it about twice per week on about a 1500 sq ft floor. I haven't had any issues. One thing though, with that much animal fur you are going to have to empty the robot's dustbin a lot as it isn't very large. I usually have to empty it once in the middle of it's run, and I only have one cat. They do make a bigger dustbin for them.
