The reviews seem good overall but I'm curious does anyone has any idea what I should expect for this switch's life expectancy?

The useful life is really dependent on the level of use. I have had this model last for 5 years or so in a medium duty location.

I don't have any idea how long this switch may last but the one it replaced functioned AOK for at least 5 years cycling about 10 time weekly.

Probably depends on what they do to clean it! Mine was working intermittently, then started needing me to pull the float up an tap it to start running. After replacing the switch it has run consistently without issue

I tend to keep mine on power save, it seems to last pretty well. I'm not sure and exact answer on a number but several hours.

I bought this and using with SmartThings, using Duracell CopperTop I got about 4 months before it dropped to 20% from my first set of 4. After a recent firmware update on ST, now I'm getting like 1 month. I don't see anything close to "years" of performance. Probably the only way to get 2 years would be not to use it :)

You are quite welcome. I want to add that this is a good quality on and off switch. Probably one of the better ones on the market! Good luck, it is not really difficult to install!

Honestly I'm mot sure. I did take apart the switch unit to see if there were posts to change the frequency. When I opened it I noticed the main board was a very cheaply made one materials wise. I would wager the seller intends low amp and voltage for the unit. Im not an electrician but I do know computers. Im basing my guess on personal observations.

I personally habe no problem with mine so far.usually, Leds do last over 10 years but cheap components makes problems especially when it's connected without ground wire.

I'm holding what passes for the Owner's Manual, and there is no mention of a warranty. However, there might be one shown on the box- if someone still has one. As to the switch, it is...relatively reliable. Most of the time, it works- but sometimes, it doesn't.

Hi. Sounds like a bad switch, or a bad connection to the switch. I would use your warranty to repair or replace the units.

Used mine twice and the switch died on the third use. Tried holding in it using some pressure as the website suggested with no luck. Mr. Coffee is sending me a new one free of charge. Hopefully unit #2 doesn't have the same issue.

Mine broke (the switch) shortly after I purchased it. I've previously commented that this is a poorly made product. Return it if you can.

I am in agreement with Thomas. I have been fortunate I guess, mine comes on every time. I would verify your power connection and cable to ensure it is not faulty. The power input is just a mini-usb which can be an easy and cheap replacement.

Mine did not work either. The switch was not functioning. But the most disappointing issue is that the seller and the manufacturer did not care to listen to my complains or try to repair the switch. No refunds was received.

My understanding is that the internal part of the switch is waterproof. I have mine exposed to the weather, and so far no problems. Hope this helps.

I have had them for about 4 months with no issues. They are mechanical switches so I am an guessing they will last a while since they did not fail immediately. I have them controlling lamps.

9 or 10 months and mine is still plugging along.. Not sure the life expectancy of this item and my expectations are low. Good luck

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.
