How long does it last?

It will depend on how much it is used. My prior, different brands, waffle irons have averaged 8-10 years. This one I've had going on 2 years, using it weekly. This is a great product, flexible, and best of all it beeps when the waffle is ready. It also cooks faster than previous appliances I've owned.

We've had ours less than a year. It still works, though the non-stick is inconsistent. It seems to work better on the setting that cooks the inside more thoroughly.

I'm still using mine after four years but I had a lot of trouble with it starting in just a few months. This is my second Chef's Choice 830B. The non-stick cooking surface failed on the first one and then the fuse blew out. Even with the problems with the waffle maker, I liked it so much that I purchased a second unit. On this unit that I bought in December 2009, the internal fuse kept blowing out and I returned it for repair two or three times until I decided to try to find out why the fuse was blowing out and replaced the fuse myself. The repair service was free and was excellent but it was costing my $15 for shipping to send it back. I discovered that the problem making the fuses blow out is that resistance of the heater element is too low when used in the "Crisp Exterior" mode as the two heater elements are paralleled for the Crisp mode. Replacing the fuse was a difficult job for me, but I was able to disassemble the unit and replace the fuse myself, and for the past two years or so, the waffle maker has worked perfectly but in order to keep the fuse from blowing, I can use it only in the "Uniform Texture" mode. The uniform texture is ok, but I did like the Crisp mode. Anyhow, I still use it, only in the Uniform texture mode. The non-stick cooking surface is still ok on this waffle maker and it still bakes the waffles quickly and uniformly.

Been using it weekly for almost 2 years. Can't say beyond that, but we're satisfied with the waffle iron.

I've had mine around three years and make waffles about once per month. It still works fine. It works as well after the 10th waffle as after the first when making a large batch. I'd definitely recommend this waffle iron.

I think fairly long, but mine just totally died about 6 weeks ago. I am no longer that thrilled with this purchase.

I didn't use it for its original purpose, so I don't know how long it lasts. I suppose it depends on how much and how often you use it.

I don't remember how long it is but I use it every day along with the girlfriend of my son and I have had no trouble with it.

I haven't had mine very long so can't verify the information, but according to the specs it is supposed to last for 50,000 hours of use which works out to over 5 1/2 years of steady use. I don't expect something like this to last that long, but it would be a nice surprise.

Not very long. And mine has been having issues since about a week after I got it. So I do not recommend this one.

This doesnt last very long.....probably 3 weeks for me....depends on how much you use and how often. So it can get expensive. But it is the best.

I really don't know. I had bought it for my mother in law. From what she has told me, they last a good while.

So far , I have it for 4 months and it's still like new. I guess eventually , it's gonna have to be changed. Nothing lasts forever !

From what I am seeing online, you can keep it plugged in to last longer (charge it). It lasts for about 15 minutes when fully charged and lasts for a long, long time (no real time table for the battery though). Can be a year, can be 5 years depending on usage.

Mine lasted about 8 hours. I've only needed it a couple times. I was overall satisfied.

It lasts for several months, depending upon the size you purchase. I have several dogs so I get the larger size for dogs (but not the largest) and it lasts me at least three months.

Had it for months now and I think it is supposed to last for years. First time it was changed since bought. That's probably 10 years.

It depends on use. In substantial use, a few days.No use, or little use: few weeks.It last far more than its competition

It last for awhile. My daughter hasn't really used the key board that much yet. But have to charge it for at least 4 hours before ya use it.
