I have yet to change any consumables and i use this machine pretty heavy. I dint know if there is any difference between pilot and non - pilot consumables. I bought a large quantity of spares with the machine and I did no think the price was high at all.

Well, I have an older DC14 which I bought back in 2004 and is still going strong so the question is whether a cheaper machine will last as long. My previous vacuum cleaners by other makers (my last was an Oreck) lost suction after about two years. Between 2001-2004 I went through 2 vacuum cleaners because they didn't work well, suction decreased, (and I had the expense of buying filter bags) before I bought my Dyson.

They are still being used in the air purifier and I'll have to let you when we will need to get another one. If you use your sweeper piece to clean this out it lasts longer.

It all depends on the duration and how many times the Alias is flown. The motors are powerfull but small and light weight so the shelf life is not long. Although, buying the replacment motor is easy, at a fare price and easy to switch out). (It is suggested that if you switch one you should switch them all) (Comes in a four pack). Best of luck

I used another Conair trimmer for 8 years and I never replaced the blade and still working fine but the battery is failing and that is why I bought this item. I believe the blades can last almost forever if you clean and oil them after each use.

Most likely referring to the number of plys in the paddle rubber. These are NOT as thick as the factory originals, so they will wear faster. They still move the machine when properly adjusted to slave plate, just not as fast (less grip). These are about 1/3 of the price of factory paddles.

it depends on what level u put the spray machine,they have an every 9min,18 or 36min for most machine to spray,overall it last like a month to 2 months depending on the setting you put.

My son has the Green Machine. He loves it but the wheels wore through after only a month of riding. This looks like it will last longer and be easier to assemble.

Be careful using the upgraded batteries. I bought them and it was great that you get more flying time, but they make the motors run hotter and I burnt up my tail motor. After reading up on them people suggest buying two copters and letting one cool down as you fly the other one.

I have carried it on the plane many, many times. I've even checked the TSA website and it is okay to carry on. I always put the cartridge in my liquids bag though. I don't know how long the cartridge lasts, but it seems like it lasts forever. I've used mine once a week (We have a long drive to church.) and every time I travel or camp for two years. It is about 3/4 gone.

Well the original battery gives you maybe 10 min on a good day and light flying with no stunts, the upgraded one I got gives you approx. 20 minutes I'd say. Haven't timed it, so I can't give an exact, but it is definitely a long enough flight time to be worth it.

I don't know that it makes them last any longer or not. It is just easier to use than mixing several things together. Water needs to be changed every two days and then they need some sugar and a drop or so of bleach. Just more convenient to use the packets.

The machines comes standard with the MBM 1 Year warranty but they do not offer an extension. You can occasionally find 3rd parties that will offer an extension to that warranty. As the other commenter Ron mentioned, maintenance is important and you might want to consider buying the 93m Survival kit which includes Survival Kit includes - Feed Roller, Separator, (2) 13oz cans of MBM AC0627 Roller Cleaner & Rejuvenator

We will use 2 per year. I activate the first when the flys start being noticed, the second when the first gets full. There is also a reusable version of this that is great as it makes it less expensive year after year.

We were satisfied with the information in the booklet that came with our machine. If we weren't, we would contact the manufacturer and ask specific unanswered questions. To answer your question directly: we know of no other manual. Sorry. We love our machine and feel so much better when we use it.

As you might expect, 4 blade props provide more thrust. The trade off is more load on the motor and a resulting shorter run time.

That last about the same but are cheaper. You can also reuse them by rising them out the a hose with the spray attachment on it
