What is the lifespan of this unit? It doesn't seem to be listed on the product itself or in the installation guide

Mine lasted about 3 minutes. Alarm sounded and wouldn't shut off. I haven't tried returning it yet.

Thanks for the reply Cary. I will try to discharge the unit completely since it only takes an hour to do so... I usually then place the unit on the DVR Dock until I'm ready to use it again which could be upwards of 3 days. Do you suggest I remove it from the dock and let it sit? Again, I've had the unit for less than a year so a chemical deterioration seem highly unlikely. But i could be mistaken. I have a warranty from NEW, but I would have to wait till a year has passed. We'll see what happens in the next week.

Sorry I can't help. Bought this unit for someone else and it was installed by another person at a different location. I'd suggest calling the manufacturer.

We installed ours and started using in May of this year and just checked it other day. That has been approx 6 mos and still going strong. We have been very pleased with the whole system.

Check for a warranty, if you would be organized enough to claim on it. FWIW, we had extremely good service out of the ones we bought years and years ago. Not sure if manufacturing has changed. My child was a toddler when we bought them, and he's almost out of the teen years old now. A few times through all those years, we've noticed a few bugs and unplugged it and plugged it in and it's started working again; or plugged it in for a couple of weeks in a different area of this house when I started seeing a few bugs in far flung areas. (My limit is 3 bugs before I react.) We JUST ordered a replacement for one unit. I started seeing a few bugs this Summer. The lights on the unit were not acting as they had in the past. (There's a pattern to the lights if you watch it.) This time, unplugging it did not reset it -- not sure if it finally failed or if that unit got hit by lightning. This time, the electronics guy here said it had really failed. Of course, with any electronics, no telling if the newer made units are manufactured elsewhere or with different components. So I can't predict quality of the newer units. It's worth a try imo because two of these units have kept my large house bug-free (other than spiders in the ceiling and ants coming in the back door), never sprayed any insecticides, for... 16 - 18 yrs? I hope the new units give as good service! (Said engineer is going to open the failed unit up and see if it's simply a capacitor or something repairable when he gets time. Just curiosity. The schematics are available online now if you search for the patent. But we just went ahead and bought a new unit. )

Uh.. ye-ah! Seriously, this things dont last forever. What's the alternative.. get it repaired? Good luck with that. I'm not being a smart ass.. I'm realistic. At the price you originally paid, a unit with reparable parts would be 2 -3 times more expensive.

Hi, I've had it for around a year and it is working great. I wouldn't know what is the complete average life of it though.

I do own the unit but, I have not taken it out of the box. It may be a limited warranty and the information should be in the box of your unit

Sorry I cant tell you that. I gave this unit to my son. He loves it and says it lasta long time, by that I am not sure. He lives in a top story apt. that has no installation so it help alot in the summer heat. Just remember to leave an opening at the other endof the house so that it can work properly.

I can not find any warranty information in the manual. I would Google the manufacture information and contact them directly. I have had this unit for over two years and it works great.

While it has been some time since I purchased this unit, I have yet to install it. Since I have put it off for so long, I am now waiting on my power company to come install it under a plan that I am subscribing to whereby they will do my electrical work for me. Check back in a few weeks if you haven't gotten your answer by then

It has been awhile since I installed it and do not remember the specifics. However, I do remember finding the instructions extremely easy and having no problem getting it to work as advertised. Sorry I could not be more help.

The unit I bought was a gift for my oldest son. It works great and is still working. I understand the units have a 2 year warranty so all you should have to do is get in touch with them for repair and/or replacement.

I haven't had any problems with it. If Geoffrey G.'s suggestions don't work out, I would call or write LifeSpan. I contacted them for a different issue, and got a quick and helpful reply.

Our unit arrived with no warranty information included. We phoned the number in the user manual and were told it had a two-year warranty. That is the only information we have.
