long term, like a year of daily outside use &amp; regular maintenance . What condition am I to expect - replacement after two or three years or less ?

I have two of them, one I leave at home, outside, in the weather, the other is in my car, it is the Explore. I've had them about 8 or 9 months, with no problems. They seem very well built. I like the side fold for in the car, it fits easier.

I was able to replace mine, bought a new motor. Surprised our only lasts two years. I own a restaurant and use it almost 3x a week and replaced it only after 5 years.

It might require some greasing or maintenance more than likely. I've had mine for several years now and with some minor exceptions has worked pretty well so far. Horizon can send someone out for repairs but unless it's still under warranty, I would find out what it would cost first of course.

I saw the same lifetime warranty in the instructions that came with mine. I'd definitely try contacting them to see what they say.

I have had mine about a year and use it 2-4x month, no issues this far. I do take good care of it and clean it after each use, store it inside.

I have cleaned it a couple times and it has worked fine. I assume after so long you will have to replace. I used it for 5 years.

A LONG time. It was years before I had to replace mine, but I don't use it every day. Maybe a couple times a week is all.

Lifetime on frame/hardware, 5 years on upholstery. Replacement or repair, not including shipping.

It was pretty good for the first three years, then it started having some problems. They did cover the replacement parts and costs but you will need to contact them. It is a good machine and is very heavy. Make sure you put it where you will not need to move it. Hope this helps!

Still didn't have to repair or replace parts so I don't know. Considering that I have been using mine since October 2013 with no problems, I think buying a new one if it breaks would not be such a big issue considering the price of $74,18. I think placing it properly and checking the batteries after a couple of months for corrosion will help it last.

Supposedly it lasts for a year, but good luck getting them to replace it. These things tend to die, and they only replace it on a very limited basis.

Had I not lost mine, it was going on three years and performing as new. I'm purchasing the same one as a replacement as I was quite happy with it.

I've been working in IT for 20 years, and I've never heard that. If it wears out, you can replace it.

According to instruction manual there is a 3 yr factory warranty I have had a new one that lasted for 10 yrs with everyday use and a rebuilt one that lasted around 5 yrs. Hope this helps

I've had mine for at least a year, maybe nearly two now. It's out year-round in NJ weather and there is no wear at all.

I do not know, but I haven't had one that didn't last at least 3 years through heavy loading and daily use.

I've had one for 2 years and over 4k miles and it's not dead yet.... not sure if I should be expecting it to die
