Freddie- I don't have the YM-9 model, I have the original GM-7 made in 1974. Works fine. Salton products are here to stay. And no I don't work for the company, but I sure love yogurt. I've got one complaint though. I want a machine that makes bigger batches. I can't keep up with consumption. Candy

Thnaks for your reply about the length of the warranty and that the second one was fine. Does that mean it was in the "new" condition as Amazon states it to be? If so, you should up date your review and maybe the rating?... It would be helpful to know that things turned out OK and to your expectations, with buying a remanufactured machine. ;-) I almost didn't pull the trigger on ordering one, with it only getting a 1 star rating. Thank you for your time in answering my questions. Mine is suppose to ship tomorrow,.. just keeping my fingers crossed.

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!

No, I've never had a problem with this machine (so far) Maybe it is just your machine and you should ask the mfg. to replace it? I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems.

1 YEAR, and my machine has run flawlessly since last fall. If the extension kicks in with full replacement after the factory coverage ends, it might be worth considering particularly.

I do not know what the warranty is, but I can tell you that I have used this machine for 3 years and have never had a single problem with it. My mother has Alzheimer's an this machine has been a real a blessing.

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

??? Not sure what you mean by 'it'. If you're asking about reliability, I've had a 2 year trouble-free experience with this excellent machine. Using it every day.

This is an excellent machine. We have not had our machine very long but my wife's friend has had one for several years and she uses it daily. That is why we bought this model. Good luck!

You don't give any information other than your printer died. How long have you had it? Was it new or refurbished? Were you having any problems with it prior to it dying? How often do you use it? Eventually, the printer is going to die. I've had mine for 3-4 years. Mine still works as good as when I bought it. Even though I have WiFi at home, I hook my printer to my laptop when I need to print.

My previous one (same model), lasted more than 10 years, and I did NOT take particularly good care of it. Here's an excerpt from my review:"2003 - early 2014: This Marathon 8AM-U1R lasted over 10 years and was still working when I replaced it (with the same model) in February 2014, mostly just for peace of mind!"

Mine went 6 months after the warranty expired. I bought a new power supply, no dice. Don't buy this machine!

It was pretty good for the first three years, then it started having some problems. They did cover the replacement parts and costs but you will need to contact them. It is a good machine and is very heavy.Make sure you put it where you will not need to move it. Hope this helps!

I had one last about 3 years and I'd say it had at most 40 hours on it. I have others that are still working, but at these prices, there should be absolutely no failures at all - no excuses!

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.

I have had mine for a year with no problems . love my machine. Have you contacted Amazon. If you have only had your machine for a short time you may be able to get a new one . so contact Amazon
