The product label mentioned "Life 25 years" but is that turned on for 24/7? And what is the warranty?

I don't believe that there is any implied warranty from the seller on this item. As for the life, it can easily last for years if you keep the intake filter clean and make sure the lamp can always cool down with the fan.

2 lamps I originally bought lasted decades literally. It seems life is based on # of on/off cycles as first that failed was used many more times than second one.Condenser in the lamp failed before the bulb. Condenser creates the charge needed to "start" that type bulb. As with all lamps "life" depends on combination of on/off cycles more than running time "on" because each "on" is a literal SURGE OF ENERGY... I saved the bulb as it was still 'good' ...hope that hekps

There is a 'Limited Lifetime Warranty'. See their website for more details.

The specified lifetime I believe is 10,000 hours under normal usage. I'm not sure if "Base Up" is considered normal usage. I say this because the electronics are in the base, heat rises, and this may degrade the normal lifetime of the bulb. Be sure there is plenty of airflow around the base and the bulb.

According to instruction manual there is a 3 yr factory warranty I have had a new one that lasted for 10 yrs with everyday use and a rebuilt one that lasted around 5 yrs. Hope this helps

I assume the warranty of life time would be honored, if I live that long. At least we haven't burned any units up, or over heated them.

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.

Same problem here after 2 years (exactly 25 months). Unfortunately, I called Avent and they will not do anything beyond the 2 year warranty period. Guess I should have thought to call a month ago...very unfortunate. I really like this monitor but cannot recommend a product that breaks down after only 2 years.

Yes, it's perfectly ok to let it run 24 hours a day. I've had mine for about a year, and it's always on.

From the company: "LifeStraw personal does not have a shelf life. The LifeStraw Family is rated for 3 years after use."

Mine came with a 25 year limited warranty and a no-fault replacement and repair policy. Mine came with a warranty form included in the box if it is ever needed.

I leave mine on 24/7 and it's done no harm whatsoever. I believe it's meant to be an "always on" kind of device.

Not sure, but it's been running for 24 hrs a day sense I bought it over a year ago with zero issues

Warranty, well, I'd have to look it up; however, I have had no problem with the unit. I can see when it is backing up when the small white LED is illuminated. Seems to work well.

I believe it is 5 years. I would check the manufacturers website to be sure.

My guess is that the warrantee is probably 1 year. However, it would also depend on how it is used. If it is subject to rough usage as in being plugged in and removed frequently the ware and tare would be excessive. I leave mine plugged in to my TomTom and the car all the time except when I am doing an update. Life time is the service not the device.
