Can anyone comment as to durability? I like to work it HARD For 30 minutes EVERY DAY. Has anyone pressed this thing HARD daily for 6 months?

I am 290 and I use it about 20 minute a day not very hard. It seems like a really sturdy machine. Its not as sturdy as the industrial machine at the gym nor does it glide as smoothly as the one at the gym. Been using it for only 2 weeks so far no problems. I have had problems with elliptical machines in the past, it was because I was using them on carpet with a few boards underneath it the machine rocked back and forth and I think that is why none of my previous machines lasted long. Put in on a level hard surface if you can and make sure you adjust it the best you can I am sure the machine will be fine for you. I am 290 and I use it about 20 minute a day not very hard.

My husband weighs 270 and works it very hard. I am on it almost daily but not for 30 minutes. I do 15 then I have a varied routine.

35 minutes daily for one year so far and no trouble HOWEVER I supplimented synthetic bearing grease during assembly.

I have had my aero-press for nearly a year and a half and use it daily. It will loosen with wear. I barely have to push on it at all for it to work now. It was stiff in the beginning for me too. It does considerably help for the plunger to be wet.

pretty durable but I did not use daily and eventually started using a blue tooth so I would say its durable for average use. I had mine about 6 months. My kids still use it occasionally.

It depends on how you use it, My 92yr old friend uses it every day and hasn't had any problems with it. I know 2 older friends who use it and love it. Nothing broke yet.

I've had mine for about 2 and a half years now and it just broke. It's also seen heavy use. If you do the occasional job.. you're probably fine.

I've had mine for about a year and use it for about 4-6 hours every day. No problems.

Looking at the build quality, it shud last for quite some time. I bought it 6 months ago, no complaints!!

This one was used 3 days in a row without a problem... but everyday may be a push. You would need to make sure you take care of it, brushing it out every night, and making sure you don't sit on it. Mine held up really well. It was pretty good quality for the price I paid for it.

Can't speak on the overall longevity as I'fe only had mine since September. I have used it almost everyday since then and it's still like brand new.

I think it will hold up with daily use as much as any other hot pot (provided you don't let it run dry!) I have had mine several months and I don't have any problems thus far.

I am not quite six months out from my purchase but I use it on high almost daily. It's never had any issues and has a very sturdy build along with a sleek look. I definitely recommend.

Mine worked well for over a year. I like it and use it a lot but the squeak is starting to become unbearable. I've been using WD40 and it will help for a while. Also, it doesn't squeak immediately most times but only after I've been on it for a while. I'll try tighten the screws again and possibly try silicone as well.

Hey, I've had it just over a year. I use it maybe once a month or two, since I make a big batch and freeze them. It still works like new, no problems, but I can't say how it would do under harder use. The only concern I would have is the durability of the coating, but it's been fine so far.

I really like mine. I've use it every time I do laundry and its gotten bumped around a bit in the garage. Still like new. I expect it will last a long time.

I've had it for about 6 months now. I use it daily and haven't had any issues.

I've had mine for almost a year and use it a couple times a month. I'm careful with it but it's held up just fine. I wouldn't consider it super durable but there's that fwiw.
