How long will the motorized feature last

I hope that I won't have the answer to that question for at least a decade. Still working great for me, but if it only lasted five years I would still buy another one because it toasts evenly and consistently. I should mention that I have the two-slice model.

An advantage to the leverless toaster is that the toast is raised much higher and you don't burn your fingers getting your English muffins out of the toaster. I used to have to use wooden toast tongs.

Uncertain....., but you have a 3 yr. warranty on the product. So far for me, it's lasted over a year and still functions extremely well. This has been the best toaster for me to date.....and I've had a lot of toaster. I hope it has the longevity of a Twinkie.....if that's the case, then, I think it'll last approx. 1000 years.

I have only had this toaster for a couple of months, and I wondered the same thing. As far as I can tell, the motorized feature is very dependable. It makes no noise at all, and it's very smooth in operation--certainly no change since I bought it.

I haven't had mine long enough to tell. So far it is the best toaster we have ever owned. consistently perfect toast and bagels. Easy to use. Cuisinart is a known brand so I am not worried about the failure of the motor.

I have had this product earlier also for more then one year without any problems.

Well I had this same model for more then one year and without any problems. My friend liked it and I gave it to him and bought a new one.

When cars went from crank handles for the windows to eletric which is all there is today, people said "how long will it last.. thats another thing to break" also

had mine for about 3 months and still running pretty good. I might need to change the wheels in about a month though.

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.

I think I might have had mine for a year now but I would be surprised if it makes it 2 years. It's weak and the immersion blender attachment stopped locking in properly after a few uses.

I'm not sure about the full life of the motors, but I've run them continuously for 10+ hours at a time to drive a magnetic stirrer. They still work great.

I use this motor and controller in a 15 lb wt class combat robot the they have lasted 2 years and easy to program , and very durable.We have been thrown in the air 7 feet and never miss a beat. Hope this helps.

Maybe after several months. New, it should last 15 to 30 depending on how you drive

I would call Drinkwell and ask if they will replace the motor. 5 months is not long But , I will tell you I don't think the motors are the best made. I am on my second one .

I think 5 years is probably pretty good. Mine is on a swimming pool pump and I hope it will last 5 years. The motor I replaced it with only lasted 3 years.

I'm on my second motor, different part, after less than a year. When it DOES work, it works pretty well if you've got the right litter. But when it goes out, bah! It takes more than a week to get the new motor and then *I* have to spend my time replacing it - it seems like a pretty common issue. After a year, if the company thinks it's getting away with telling me to stuff it because they can't make a motor that works for more than a few months, they will have to find another chump to screw over. It's a tad ridiculous.

I purchased mine about two months ago and I have about 8 a 10 hours on it with no motor problems. I did need to replace a prop bearing but I'd say that was very minor given the abuse I have put it through. I can't fly helis worth a damn but the Alias is a pleasure to fly, especially after I tuned it way down to my skill level. Hope this helps.

Mine worked great for ~1.5 years. Similar to others, the motor died, and now I need to find a replacement.

I haven't had to replace it yet. Mine hasn't had a lot of hours on it. I find it hard for me to use mostly because of my age and handicaps. I expect to pay in the neighborhood of $125 when the time comes. I have a townhouse so the yard isn't large and can be covered in one charge. I recommend self propelled.

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.

I've had it for 3 years and use it 5-6 days a week for at least 30 mins. Sometimes I do 45 mins. or an hour or longer. One time I thought it was breaking down because it smelled like the motor was burning, and it stopped. I turned it off and the next day it was fine. That was about 4 months ago and that hasn't happened since.

Usually electric items are 30,60 or 90 day. I have been using one for at least 6 months now. I like this one.. Everything that moves will wear, I know nothing on how digital timers last , I haven't gone that route yet. Good luck.

Honestly though, it is kinda bad. Would probably be worth more to you to save up and get the motorized one.
