What is the life expectancy of this item?

The mesh should be fine. The metal frame would probably rust. I believe that it should last at least 3 years. If you immerse and rise in fresh water after each use it could last longer.

We've had these same traps for 8 years. We only use them once or twice a year and wash and rinse them well when done, but they hold up very well. We have caught lots of crabs in them. I expected the salt water to rust these traps before now, but so far so good. The bait bag is rather small and did not last long, so we keep and use our onion bags to place the bait in.

It's is built fairly well for the price and seems like it will hold up for several years with average use. I haven't owned mine for more than a few few months, but no problems so far.

If your units are at ten years in service they are at end of useful life according to the manufacturer. The manufacture date is in the bottom of the unit

Hello Anthony, it works very reliable and much better than the small key chain controller or the ones who come within the box. I can't tell much about life expectancy as I only use it for 2 years now....but guess its the same as every remote control depending on every day usage etc.

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

Having no problem with mine. But I should think it should last at least a year. I'd contact seller.

We have been purchasing this item for several years. I don't believe we've ever had any go bad on us. I'd say that their life is nearly infinite. Hope that helps.

I don't have an exact amount of time for its shelf life. But in my opinion, it lasts long enough to be satisfactory, whether in a drawer or whether it's been used to glue something. Nothing, as we know, lasts forever.

the original part lasted a good 8 years. I expect 5 years, but I bought 2 to have a spare. I think the original part got cut by a piece of plastic being sucked up or it might still be going.

I've had mine for 7 months and so far it's great. I hope the life expectancy is much longer than a year....

Ours had a typical life span when we purchased. (At our vacation home so I can't provide exact date.)

I think it's about 2 years. The one I bought has a date about 2 years from when I bought it.

About two years old. Many quality issues reported with this device--ours died within a week. I would not recommend it.

I believe my last one lasted about 3 years. The first two lasted about 2 years each. I've been lucky.

I'm not sure entirely, but the computer will complain if they are too old (planned obsolescence). They have lasted for anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 years has been my experience.

I would say if you don't overheat it...it will last for many years. I love mine.

Overall lifetime, I don't know. We've had ours for at least a year with no obvious performance loss.
