Sorry but I have only had mine for a couple of months so don't know if it should be replaced. Your skin is the best evidence.

If it still works, then no need to replace it. I have a mitten 3 years old which I use for my face as it has softened considerably. It does a brilliant job and I will not be throwing it out for a long time yet. Yes, it is beginning to look like a dog's breakfast, but I don't care :-)

"No" on all concerns. I've been using mine regularly for at least a couple years, and no such concerns. Still works like new.

Probably contact the manufacturer. I've had mine for years and haven't had that problem, but if I did, that is what I would do.

I confess I have cleaned mine only once in the last 3 years and only then when it got gummed up and the motor stopped. It isn't particularly hard to disassemble, clean, reassemble and recalibrate the burrs. Also, the burrs are replaceable if they become worn.There are a number of YouTube videos showing how it's done. Take a look at a few of them and see if you would be comfortable doing the work yourself.

I have had mine for about 2 years now. It has worked flawlessly, which is 100% better than any other I have owned. And I haven't babied it at all. It has been through a lot including lots of sand and dust. How can you tell it is real?No idea. All I know is that it works. ;)

Less than a year old...from our limited experience (and they are exposed to the Maine elements all summer long) ours have never require replacement. Just contact the original manufacturer identified in the shipping material. Good luck! Peter.

It was pretty good for the first three years, then it started having some problems. They did cover the replacement parts and costs but you will need to contact them. It is a good machine and is very heavy. Make sure you put it where you will not need to move it. Hope this helps!

No way you should have to replace after 6 months. I'd take it apart and clean it before I did that. If you need to replace, just look on amazon for a similar voltage and amperage and size. I didn't have to replace mine, but had loojed it up. If you do replace, use NIMH instead of NiCad. Also, see my other comment about the need to seal it... Id bet that's the problem. Can't answer warranty question, might Google the mfr.

No, I got mine exactly a year ago and it was fine. Still running great. All I can think of is you got old stock that has been sitting around long enough for the rubber to harden. I would send it back.

I would say to look for a used one on ebay. I've not had to replace mine as yet.

I Disagree with the last comment. We have had our for almost two years and have had no problems. Do need to take it outside about once every six months and break it down and clean it. I am guilty of going over a year without cleaning it and it still worked fine. Don't know what the other folks problems were. They never did say. Even if it breaks down in two year, I'll just buy another one.

Mario: there are a few things to consider - as there are three Triton II, Model TR-40, TR-50, and TR-60. I purchased a TR-60 that requires (according to Pentair specs), 50 lbs of pea gravel, and 275 lbs of .020 mic of sand. When installing my unit, I called the company, (tech. services). and they said that most people just install the sand and forget about the gravel, that I also did with my old Triton. The total used was 300 lbs., and the distance from the top of the sand and the inside top of the filter should be 10 1/2 inches, that turns out to be a perfect gauge of the height of the 300 lbs of sand. Each Triton model uses a different amount of sand/gravel. Mario: there are a few things to consider - as there are three Triton II, Model TR-40, TR-50, and TR-60.

I had the same problem and the person who takes care of my pool said it would need to be replaced. He told me it would cost less for me to order it through Amazon than having him change it for me. The new unit is super easy to change. I just popped the old one off the wall. Look how it is plugged in and do the exact same thing with the new one. Mine now works and looks great.

We just changed ours after 4-5 years and it was dirty. The machine did seem to work well all that time, so it's not like it lost air flow from being overly dirty. Make sure to vacuum the outside periodically (it will get dusty) so that air can flow in.

Well, mine doesn't rock, so it likely is a defect. Maybe you should rinse it and then put something heavy on top for a day or two!

Mine is holding up great. Haven't had to change the pads yet. I've only put new, wider pedals on it (Moove), better grips (Moove), and a better fork on it; Manitou Tower Pro. Other than that, just put some slime tubes in it.

I have had mine for almost a year, and have had no issues with it. So, I don't know if mine is a "new" unit.I would guess if is aluminum, if that is what you are seeing in the pictures.
