Does anyone have this model for more than 14 months? I'd like to get some feedback on its reliability. Thanks!

I've only had this model for a few months, but I had the earlier model for nearly two years. Both offer great performance, are very reliable and take excellent photos. I spend most of my time out-of-doors in rough terrain and all types of weather. Have had no difficulties with either of them.

I'm not aware of any problems with this unit. I got mine in July 2014 and have made tons of salsa, slaw, veggies, soup, etc. with no problems. Although I don't run the thing very long (mostly multiple pulses or quick/short runs), ours has been a champ. Maybe it is just an issue with the most-recent production run?

I've had mine for three months now. No problems at all, it works perfectly.

I have had mine for several months now without any problems, still works great but I don't use it daily.

That is something that has perplexed me from the day I bought the unit. Otherwise, it performs well. I've had it about 3 years now with no problems at all.

I haven't had any problems at all, had it for about 6 months and use it everyday. I would think if someone had a problem with it working only randomly that there was something wrong with it.

Just bought one two months ago and put it in heavy use. No issues. Works great!

I had 2 of the older model and they both lasted 15 years. I am using the EJ351 now with now problems.for the price it is well worth it.

I am sorry that you're having such issues. Ours has worked find since we started using it last October, and we use it daily, sometimes more than once. I would definitely call their customer service.

I do still have this and I still use it occasionally. I haven't had any issues with it at all. If you are looking for something consistent to use every day I wouldn't be sure on this, just because I haven't ever used it that consistently, but it has been 2+ years and it still works. Hope that helps!

I think yours is defective. I have used it everyday for 3 months and not 1 problem. Best one I've ever owned!

I no longer have mine. I used it for about about 5 to 6 months and it died on me. I was lucky enough to get refunded from the company. They were having problems with some of them. Sorry I can not help you. Hunter was nice about it. I registered it on line with them when I purchased it.

Mine is two years and still going strong. Try taking it out and reinstalling

I have had it for 14 months. I used it earlier this week. Today, it does not work, will not turn on. Checked all electronic connections, they were clean and tight. It is 2 months out-of-warranty, nearest Panasonic Svc Center is over 250 miles away. Even before this incident, I could not buy bags locally. Had to special order them and it took forever to find a supplier, even tho I live in a major city. I was not happy with that, but "Hey, it is a great vacuum cleaner!" Not any more. A vacuum of this price should last more than 14 months, especially when it is used once a week! Update, 2/20/15. Used a local vacuum cleaner repair company. There is a circuit board in the on/off switch. A rheostat burned up. I had them bypass that, which meant it would be only one speed, HIGH. That's okay. It works now. Cost $69. Hate to see what a new circuit board would have cost.

I replaced 2 15 year old models in my restaurant with one new one - they have run everyday for 15 yrs! Sold them and paid for a new model - never had a problem - runs like a champ. Don't know anything about the other model in question.

I am in the same boat. I found that the 1200 is the "newest" model of it... And don't like it. The 1400 looks slick, but doesn't have too good of reviews. Did you find anything since then? I see you posted in Jan. :)
