Doesn't last 5 years if it's already open when you get it

Vacuum seal broken. Should have listened to all those 1 star reviews that warned me about it.

This hub worked fine for 5 years, and then the base stopped passing USB and power.  The grey detachable portion still works as a standalone non-powered hub, but as a laptop USB docking station, it's done.

Luckily, the hub has a lifetime warranty. Except, in contacting Belkin for a replacement, they claimed that the warranty is only valid for 5 years. Sure enough, in the fine print on the last page of the manual, it explicitly states that Belkin considers a lifetime warranty to be defined as 5 years.

Having to open a product to discover the claimed warranty is a lie is a terrible customer experience.

It was nice for about 5 months and then ripped.  I tried to contact the supplier, but cannot find then on Amazon.

I've used this lock for about five years. The first one I bought lasted a year, then stopped working completely. The second one bought lasted about two years. I am on my third one and a few days after I installed it, the backlights stopped working and have never worked since. It makes it difficult to open the door at night, but still ten times more convenient than a regular deadbolt lock, especially the auto-lock feature (when you have a roommate that never remembers to lock the door), which is why I continue to buy them even though they appear to have a very short lifespan.

The cheap plastic cover for the deli tray broke.  But the refrig was still working great. After five years of ownership, however, it completely stopped working. I had two repairmen here to fix it. They each said that b/c the tubing is on the inside, they can't take it apart to fix the leak.  I now have to replace a huge and very expensive refrigerator.  Do not buy this brand.  Also, their warranties used to be for five years, now they are for only one year.  Go figure.

I bought this set from a local store in another country, not from Amazon so it wasn't so cheap, and I can tell you it looks so nice and so comfortable while is new that you will fall in love with it BUT after only 2 years of use by only 2 people, we started feeling the springs inside the seats, and after 4 years the base of the long part of the couch broke off due to termites. So please be aware that this couch set will only last good for a couple of years.

I have tested several cordless vacuums. I used this vacuum cleaner for 3 years and I was quite happy with it. The first issue I got was with the handler which I had to tape it to stay inside. Other than this no problems. Has good suction, easy to use and to clean, overall it did the job. Now is broken and based on the research I have made, it doesn't deserve to service for repair (limited warranty for 5 years). Hoover customer service offered both service and discount for a new one.
After I have tried in stores other options, I have decided to buy a new one exactly the same. I only hope having at least same experience.

This thing broke 5 months after purchase and with very moderate use.

I bought a space heater from Walmart for a third of the price that lasted 5 years.

I loved this as long as it lasted. After 2.5 years the silver ring around the outside of the unit no longer functions. The most Nest would do is send me a 20% off loyalty voucher for a new one: no repair option offered. This thing costs too much money to last less than three years. I don't expect it to last 30 years, like the thermostat I replaced with this Nest, but I can get six years out of a laptop and this thing is a lot less complex.

For a device that is supposed to save me money long term, it cost me more money long term. I'm sure I haven't recovered the cost of this thing in 30 months.

The replacement product works perfectly.  However the fact that I had to buy a replacement after 5 years is annoying.

My original le bistro was great.  Purchased it in 2009.  After 5 years one of the paddles cracked and petmate customer service was great about sending replacement parts for free.

A few months ago the cat seemed hungry, so I checked the display and it was not working.  I assumed the batteries were low and replaced them, but two days matter the same thing. My husband and I decided something was wrong with the batteries and we bought a power cord for it so if something happened to the battery while we were away, the cat would still get fed.  Unfortunately, not the problem.  It got where it would dispense a meal and flip out, whether it dispensed as programed or if you forced it to dispense.  Petmate said no replacement part for that, so we had to get a new one.

Now we keep it on top a 3 foot bookcase to keep the dog out of it.  The old one the cat learned to bump the bin and knock food out.  I solved that by velcroing a strap around it and the top shelf of the bookcase.  The new one is still set up the same, but the cat can stick his paw up the feed chute and get more food to fall out.  It's really annoying to hear at night.  I'm going to have to make modifications to it, like others have. Also the amount of food it dispensed is less per portion than the old one.  It takes 4 new portions to equally 3 old portions.  Not that that matters since it's pretty much an all you can eat smorgasbord.

I bought one of these in Germany more than 25 years ago and it finally went bad. I was excited to see that Amazon had the same model and brand! But after having it for about 8 months it is terrible. It just won't open cans anymore. I can't see anything obvious of why it doesn't work but it is having the same issue that our 25 year old model had at the end of it's life. Now to see if there is any warranty left on it.

I purchased this in December 2013.  It worked for 4 years, or at least I guess it was working -- I don't know for sure since we never had a gas leak.  In the past 6 months, however, it has started going off randomly, reporting a gas leak, even though the backup-battery was less than a year old.  I replaced the battery anyway to make sure it wasn't related to the problem but it still randomly alarms for reason of a gas leak. It has a 5 year warranty but I don't want to pay the postage and handling fees for a defective product.

I am disappointed with the lifespan of this steam mop. I have had it for 2.5 years, but 2 of those years it sat unused because we had tons of carpet. Now that I need it again, it will not pull in the water at all. I have disassembled the entire thing and cleaned out the enter and exit holes. When it works, it is lovely.

Do not expect this unit to last very long.  Purchased this unit 5 years ago.  3 years in, it died.  Verdict:  new electronic control board needed. Cost : $900 + installation (over $1k).  This lasted two years.  Today, the device died again.  We don't know whether it's the control board or the induction generator but frankly we don't care: this unit is going directly to the recycling depot so that someone can recover the metals and recycle them (in the old days, it would have gone directly to the dump). We are not throwing good money after bad.  We thought about the possibility of paying $100-150 to have a technician replace fuses and possibly get the 3-burner electric (non-induction) side working [as would have been possible last time] so we could have more time to shop around for an alternative but in the end decided to just go out and get a unit with a decent warranty and write off this piece of junk.  Yes, we liked it when it worked, but the  annual operating cost of this cooktop including amortized initial cost was $$$very expensive.
Unless it comes with a 10-year warrantee (or unless a 10-year warrantee can be purchased inexpensively), I will never consider buying Electrolux again.  This applies not only to cooktops but to anything else this firm makes.  As a result of poor manufacturing controls, they made $800 (or however much their wholesale price was) off of me for a replacement part I had to buy.  I consider that extra income to be "ill gotten gains" and it isn't going to happen again.
0 stars.

This is a super nice space heater that unfortunately only ran for 5 months before breaking. It's quiet, takes
up very little room and is good looking.  The thermostat works very nicely, your room
won't get overheated and the oscillating feature is good.
  This heater quit totally on me after only 5 months of use and does not apparently
have a reset button to try.  You are supposed to unplug and plug it back in to reset so I guess mine is truly broken.
  Expensive for only 5 months of use!!

I've had this overhead light in my kitchen for the past ten years.  It looks nice, I do prefer its smooth white plastic cover over the brittle, clear prismatic plastic covers, just a matter of taste. It's been mostly reliable, had one episode where it couldn't make up its mind if it wanted to come on or not.  That lasted about a week and then the problem cleared itself up (don't know how)- this was approx. 5 years ago.  It has now gone out completely... suspect its a ballast issue since both lights went at once without even a warning flicker but not really worth the work required to replace that-- I'm looking for a new one.  I do feel that it should've lasted longer, but a decade's worth of use is probably pretty good at this price.
