What is the age of your units? I don't mind paying a higher premium for items that last but if this one is doing so please let me know.

My unit broke last month and haven't had the time to fix it. The circuit board started smoking. This item I think it lasted 8 months. I haven't called Aleko yet to see what support they offer - if they offer at all!

The Rollers make all the difference. If your gate rolls well by hand the unit will last. don't use gooey lubricants on the chain. they gum it up and will limit the life of the motor.

I have had mine for 3 years and it has not given me one issue. And we use it to open our main gate several times a day.

You are very welcome. it is a great unit and I wish I could find a new one at the same price (or even close to) from a few years ago.

This gets asked frequently and I'm happy to say there is a positive answer! Mine were dated at least a year out and I've seen others post the same response. Hope that helps!

It is the same unit others are selling for less. It looked different in the add but it is not. It does not last very long.

Valued Customer- Replace the entire unit. (new or used) The price isn't enough to replace parts. Thanks for your inquiry. Good Luck

We bought ours for the same reason. I will have to check the date. We have used only two and hope the rest will last to next summer.

Call the company when in doubt, most are 1 year. We had one for many years with no problems, that is why I bought another one.

I noticed that as well -- now it looks like Amazon has stopped selling (new) units themselves altogether, with no explanation. We bought ours from Amazon recently and it seems to work fine. A thorough and generally well-done review was posted by someone on July 25 if you haven't seen it.

We've had ours 6 months now and they are holding up so far. For the price we paid, I think they are a better deal then buying them from Sears. They were outrageously expensive.

I had 2 that were still working for at least 7yrs. I've since sold that house, so don't know if they are still working. I guess if the bugs come back, then the unit is done and need to purchase another.

If you check the back side of the unit you will see a label which has various pieces of information including a manufactured date. I quite sure you'll find it is probably six or more years old. That being the case, the unit must be replaced. It's useful life has been reached. It is designed to be this way. New batteries will make no difference.

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

Unfortunately the pricing does not make sense. Our prices may fluctuate to stay competitive. I will look further into the pricing in case the listing is wrong.

Thanks for your contact! I do have multiple machines in stock - so, I can send you some photos - but, they would only be an example of quality, not necessarily the exact unit you would receive. All these machines are in good used condition - no damage or defects - just minor signs of handling due to use/testing/shipping/etc. Please don't hesitate to get in contact with any further questions. Thanks!

Mine have been in for 6 months and still working. Use some Duracells to prolong the operation of this unit. I hav e ought a few of these types and like this one the best. GOODLUCK

Depending on how long you have owned it, I would first go to the vendor on a warrantee concern. After that see if you could either purchase the component or canabalize it from a defective unit.
