How long does the frother last? Most break after a couple of months.

I think it depends on what you use it for and how you care for it. I use it for milk only; not heavy cream and I run it under hot water immediately before storing. I make sure not to stress or bend the metal rod. I have had mine for years and use it several times a week continuously for years and it still works great. If you are not going to use it continuously, do not store with batteries inside.

The manufacturer states the product is warrantied for 2 to 5 years depending on model. This is a residential product and if you use commercially the life will shorten Thanks

I basically only use it only to froth milk. Mine last 2-3 years. I use it about 3 times a week. What breaks is the casing of the frother.The frother still works but when the casing breaks it is hard to hold it together and use it. I don't know why they do not make the casing out of a metal instead of plastic.

My original (non-travel) Aerolatte worked more than 4 years, e.g., probably 300+ uses. I'm about to order this one because I'm an expat now and need the travel case to protect it. I'm confident it'll work for 2 years at least, making it worth the money.

Mine lasted just over a year before abruptly suddenly losing its zip, even after new batteries put in. Still vibrates, but not fast enough to froth milk.

I think I might have had mine for a year now but I would be surprised if it makes it 2 years. It's weak and the immersion blender attachment stopped locking in properly after a few uses.

I don't use it. But if I would use it. I would clean the ti daily. The frother is made of two parts. The tip and the attachment to the metal pipe. The attachment can also be removed if needed.

I have to take my frother apart about once a month to thoroughly clean it or it definitely bogs down

I would call Drinkwell and ask if they will replace the motor. 5 months is not long But , I will tell you I don't think the motors are the best made. I am on my second one .

I don't but I actually need to replace mine as well. With mine, the frother starting making odd sounds and while steam would come out of the want it would not froth the milk. I'm not sure if you have the same problem but I was able to fix mine in the interim. I determined that there was a loss in seal with the plastic gasket that goes inside the metal wand housing. I applied some duct tape to the housing and then slid the gasket on over the top, using some force to make sure it was very snug. That fixed the problem immediately and that solution has worked well for a few months now. I do plan to reach out to DeLonghi customer service however to inquire about new parts at some point.

They work just fine as described. Unfortunately though, 1 of the 2 milk frothers cracked at the attachment site after only 5 weeks. I was using it daily & removing it to wash it & i think it weakened due to trying to wiggle it out of the handset. Now, i just leave it attached and rinse it under the faucet after use to reduce the number if times i take it in & out. Wish it had a quick release feature like on a hand mixer. Anyway, if you're looking just for a milk frother & dont need the other attachments, buy one of the 9.99 ones cuz its not worth $24 then

I bought mine in December 2013. It's now July 2015 and it just stopped working. Used it everyday since I got it. I'm going to buy another milk frother; probably another brand. I've had 2 frothers, different brands; both stopped working. Not sure if any of them last 5 years.

Where are the whisks stored "Apple-like" inside?? ours suddenly stopped frothing but is still warming, one month old. I didn't change anything out - is there a setting we might accidentally have hit? Help pls, love this foam <3

I've had mine for almost a year and no problems. It doesn't take long for the milk to froth and we really like ours. The inside is no-'stick, but you can't remove it so be careful when cleaning to not get the underside wet.

Doesn't matter because it has a cheap but complex switch that stopped working after a few months, and did not do a great frothing job even before then. Replaced it with an Ezy Chef.

About the same as the Coffee, and others. Ours never last that long, but last we got was dated 12/2013, so it had bout nine months.

I've had mine for about four months. I know that's not two years, but it has worked great for my purposes so far. I mainly got it for travel, and took it to Vega$ in my suitcase and had great coffee in the room every morning. The lightweight plastic design and compact size makes it great for travel. I've been using it in the mornings at home for single cups of coffee, too. Hope this was helpful. :)

Mine went for a year and a half. At the end when it brewed only a small amount would come out so you had to hit brew 4 times to get a full cup. Then it stopped working at all.

You'll have to get in touch w/seller. I do know you can indeed buy the disks. I had to buy several of them b/c they just don't last. I finally spent a little more money and got a different -- and better -- frother.
