We have been real happy with ours. While we don't use it every day, we have had it for about seven years and it shows no signs of slowing down.

I have owned my Krups GVX-14 Coffee Grinder for 3 years now. We make 4-5 pots of coffee a day and have never had a problem with the coffee grinder. I clean it about once a month. The grinding burrs are just starting to show a little wear, but they can be purchased from Krups when they need to be replaced. I am very satisfied with the way the coffee grinder has held up these last 3 years.

I've had it for 6 years, use it to grind a pound or two a month. No issues. Still works great.

I purchased mine about two months ago and I have about 8 a 10 hours on it with no motor problems. I did need to replace a prop bearing but I'd say that was very minor given the abuse I have put it through. I can't fly helis worth a damn but the Alias is a pleasure to fly, especially after I tuned it way down to my skill level. Hope this helps.

This is a completely enclosed electric motor. I do not foresee any motor maintenance.Thanks

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. My 13-year-old grandson used the motor for a school project--to make a light revolve in the window of a lighthouse. Neither of us knew anything about electric motors before or after he used it for his project. It worked great until some kid got into the classroom when the teacher wasn't there and destroyed it.

From what I remember you should be fine with this motor. I did replace capacitor at same time. Remember to give capacitor some time to charge up after turning power back on. About an hour is plenty. Very happy with motor.

Maybe a year? Always had issues with mine and I've had two roombas. I wish I would have bought a different brand. Make sure you clean it thoroughly after each use.

One year limited parts and labor. I have had mine about one year and have had no problems with it, so have not had warranty experience with this item. I think it's a good generator for a fraction of the price of more well known models.

I no longer have mine, about 5 months after I bought it the motor went and to replace the motor cost more than the whole unit itself. Sorry I cant help you.

Having no problem with mine. But I should think it should last at least a year. I'd contact seller.

Motor is made in China, my motor lasted only two years or so before a gear in the motor broke. You are unable to order motor parts, so I would need to spend $100+ to replace the entire unit. Motor is the weak link in the unit.

All I can say is "that I have had NO problems with mine". BUT: Like an 2 cyl. engine. Always use fresh gas. Gas that is older than 30 days, will over time foul up the carburetor. When you store it leave gas in it WITH gas stabilizer. This way the gaskets won't dry rot. And you will be fine. An electric start systems will fail. IF you over heat the starter......Info from ex mechanic. Good luck.

It's electric and plugs into a 110v outlet. You will most likely need an extension cord since the one on the motor is only a couple of feet max. Not a major issue though. So far it works well.

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

No. Have not experienced the problem you have. Motor noise will either go away, or get worse with time. It would be your decision to replace if unsatisfied.

Should not be a problem as it is a heating element, not a motor where AC frequency is important. I have used mine a few times without issue since it came last week.

I got one a year ago and it's still going strong. Recently a friend's first one had a dead motor. He returned it and got a replacement; it could not be trimmed to hover. I think quality control has slipped.

I've had mine for about a year and use it for about 4-6 hours every day. No problems.
