Does this product wear out, or do any parts need to be replaced?

The battery cover broke into 2 pieces after a few use as some other has indicated. So I need to ignite it, I put the cover back and hold it, light the fuel, and carefully store away the battery cover. I now wonder if it is better to buy the one time heat pad instead.

I dropped mine and the battery cover broke, but it still works. The other 2 I have, nothing has worn out, the battery is still going having not used it since last April. The heat pad is working perfefctly after 2 years!

there aren't any moving parts other than the button you depress to ignite it, Ive had mine for over a year and haven't had any issues. I'd be careful however about dropping it. the corners are plastic and they could break, and the cap doesn't fit particularily tight. That is one thing I wish it did...fit a little tighter.

The battery door on this product tends to be weak, but the overall product is by far the best hand warmer I have ever used. I have four of them, and they have worked wonderfully for over two years. Even if the battery function breaks down, they can be easily lit with a lighter, just a quick light is all it takes. These never go out, burn for at least 6 hours with complete dependability. I have tried the comparable Zippo product, and these warmers are the only ones I would ever rely upon for warming my hands. I would buy more, but these tend to go on and on.

The batteries and lighter fluid obviously need to be replaced but that's it. The platinum is only a catalyst for the reaction and as long as it is not fouled, should last forever. I suspect that, over time the platinum will become fouled through incomplete conversion of the reactants or impurities in the fuel. However, I have had one for several years and it is still doing its job. Just don't drop it and don't lose or break the battery cover!

I have cleaned it a couple times and it has worked fine. I assume after so long you will have to replace. I used it for 5 years.

No. Mine gets used constantly and it is still fine. I would contact the seller or manufacturer.

This part is plastic and wears down. I replace mine about every 2-3 years. That is if I use the Snow blower during the 2-3 years. I also replace the belt and the pads at the same time.

You'll need to replace it. It doesn't come with any removable pieces. But for how well it works it's worth it.

Not me, BUT you need to replace the product no matter what!. You paid a lot of money for this. Talk to amazon if you bought it here. Good luck!

I bought mine about 4 years ago and have used it everyday with no problems whatsoever. Never had to replaced any parts yet.

it will have to be sent in to the company for replacement as I understand. No user serviceable parts to change out.

I would ask the manufacturer. Depending on how old it is, they might replace it. If it is a few years old, you might want to replace it!

I've purchased mine a few years ago and still good for me and was regularly used. I have not replaced so far.

I have never had to replace it that often. Is your water extremely hard? Are there many contaminants in it?

I did not replace the one that broke so I have no idea if it's a common problem. It's a pretty inexpensive product, so if you had one for 20 years that's a great run

I have not been able to find any replacement parts that I have needed. I would suggest buying a different product where parts are readily available.

I haven't replaced mine yet, still works great and cleaning after each use should make it last a long time!

I got one used and they replaced a couple parts free; Dont expect to find anyone owning one for over 10 years; they havent been around that long.
