What is the average life expectancy? I need it to survive for a VERY long time

If you Google the question, it still remains to be seen if the data after 25-50 years is still completely intact. There are numerous factors that can affect this, ie., how they are stored (such as upright in their case, humidity free, etc.) gravity, how they have been handled, manufacturer quality control, etc. If you want long life, I would look into archival gold dvd's. Their quality and life expectancy is rated higher than these standard disks. I have used hundreds of these disks over a decade but could not begin to know how long they will last, even handling and storing them properly.

If you're looking at extremely long life and reliability, you would be better off looking into lto5 tapes. But, they come at a price

Hmm...difficult to answer that one but DVD's I recorded on from Verbatim, 5 years ago still run fine. If you keep them in a case, no reason they won't last a very long time.

I don't have the faintest idea. I know that it lasts around 7 years in my house and is very good.

I read somewhere that these are suppose to last for up to a year. Just make sure you keep them stored somewhere cool.

Supposedly it lasts for a year, but good luck getting them to replace it. These things tend to die, and they only replace it on a very limited basis.

I have never read anywhere how long they last. I am sure if you take care of them they will last a long time.

It usually lasts about 4-5 months...there are only two of us in this house though, so it may not last as long with more people.

I've had mine for less than a year so I've no idea how long it will last. Over one year i'd say.

the only answer I have is--it will last way over a year, maybe two or more !!!!

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.

Celeste, I currently own 6 of them and they are close to being 6 years old. However, I really don't anticipate they will last forever, I have read several reviews of units lasting as long as 15 years. If mine give out today, it's a cheap investment, and they work...

Mine has died after about a year of continuous use....maybe a year and a half tops.

I think the Sebo D4 is a great vacuum cleaner and likely much better than upright cleaners. Although, I have to admit that I've never been an upright fan, so my answer is very biased. I can tell you that the average life expectancy of a Sebo is 20 years. It is heavy, though, so keep that in mind, particularly if you're going to have to drag it up and down steps. I also have a Sebo C3 from over 6 years ago (we have two homes) that had a $70 part break. Although the C3 was no longer under warranty, my husband called the Sebo Customer Service number and they sent us a free replacement part anyway, and also paid for the shipping and handling. I've never dealt with such an outstanding company that stands behind its products.

Ours lasted maybe four months. We were shocked to get the ER message and find it had died so quickly.

Had it for months now and I think it is supposed to last for years. First time it was changed since bought. That's probably 10 years.

Hi Les Fuleki, there is no actual life expectancy for this Sony TV. Other may last couple of years, some are not. It may depend on the handling, usage, weather condition and other factors. -Ely

It uses an LED lamp, so it should last upwards of 50,000 hours. You probably won't ever have to replace it; at 4 hours of use every day it will last you over 30 years.

It will last you more than 5 years under normal use. Remember this is a cruising and hill board.
