I''m looking for feedback from others who have had this Lazy Susan for quite a while. How has it held up (particularly the bearings)?

I've been using this in my pantry closet for 4 months, and the bearings are working fine. They look like they should be in it for the long haul. Good luck with your shopping!

Mine worked well for over a year. I like it and use it a lot but the squeak is starting to become unbearable. I've been using WD40 and it will help for a while. Also, it doesn't squeak immediately most times but only after I've been on it for a while. I'll try tighten the screws again and possibly try silicone as well.

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.

I agree with the previous reviewer. l have had mine for a while and so far am very happy with it. I reviewed it before and still stand by it.

It's rated for 500lbs so I don't see a problem for you but I do have some issues with the table. The foot pedal sticks out so far you have to be careful. I put a red bucks over pedal when not using it. Also table doesn't stay pumped over night even if there's no weight on it but probably be ok while your working on something. Maybe there's some adjustment that can be made. It's cold weather here and I haven't looked into it.

Mine has lasted a few years, though I don't use mine everyday, more like every month. All motors bust up when consistantly used, but I'd say for effectiveness it has as a battery powered vibrator and the material itself it is worth it. The material doesn't crack or cause discomfort, maybe sure you let all parts dry before storing. When it comes to buying anything that's mechanical, in general, all cases are different and most eventually wear, but I've had mine for years and it still works. I can tell that mine isn't mechanically in tune anymore, it has an rotor that spins, and mines starting to wear the inside. I can't say if it's going to continue to do so or if it'll just wear out the inner wall a bit and continue working. So it's up to what you think it's worth. But anything mechanical and less expensive, is going to wear out. If it wears out right away then you'd have to inform the company but the chances of that happening are rare. Every company has it's flukes and I'm sure they'll reimburse you if it ever happens(that's what I do when I order something and it's not what it was supposed to be, never had an issue because amazons a tight ship). Anyway mines lasted and works well, if you're still skeptical, I'd say research it over the internet some more and maybe visit some local sex shops for advice on value.

Hey John. I've just purchased my second Blackstone. I wanted to be able to cook more pizzas at once. ���� So the motor is flimsy but I haven't had any real issues. I did get the bearing upgrade so now the plate doesn't rub and it lasts longer. It is just a rotisserie motor so I'm sure you could swap motors. But I haven't had any issues with mine so no swap as of yet. Simple ..straight forward..does the job.

My suspicion is that the reason people have it break so quickly is because they run it with the load unbalanced. It is INCREDIBLY difficult to get the load properly balanced, and if you allow it to run unbalanced it destroys the motor. I've had mine for four months, and it hasn't broken yet, but we shall see. Personally, I wouldn't buy it again because of the load balancing issue, even if it doesn't break. When this one bites the dust, I'm going to look for one that is shorter and fatter (since I think the shape of it is a factor in why it's hard to balance the load), and if I can't find one, I'm just going to let my clothes line dry.

Hi Danielle, I have this since last July, 2013 and mine still looking really good. Just FYI if you're going to get this. The locking pedal in the back will seize about a month or so after you start using this. I called Uppababy and they told me of a quick fix by putting a few drops of bike chain lubricant in the locking pedal and it will fix the problem. Overall, I love this stroller. Hope this help.

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!

I really like mine. I've use it every time I do laundry and its gotten bumped around a bit in the garage. Still like new. I expect it will last a long time.

ours has started having issues this season as well, ( less than a year old) I plan to open it up and see if there may be debris or chemical buildup restricting the moving parts..... not sure if there is a fix? would like to hear what problems/fixes others have had as well

I have had mine for a year. So far it holds up fine. The lumbar supports help a lot in an area that does tend to blow out over time.

I've had mine for several months and it is still working fine. Though I am careful to not overloaded and go beyond what it's rated for and also I do keep the wheels clean so they don't get gummed up.

I have had mine since last September and it is still going strong.I am careful do to put weight on it when I am holding cane at an angle.Survived an 11 day bus trip, relying on it all the time.

This bearing has no off set. Its machined out of a single pc, and relies on the little plastic feet for offset between the two sides. I pulled all the little feet out, continued drilling the holes through, and used spacers/washers to create the gaps needed for movement, and clearance for nuts n bolts etc... It seems to carry load pretty well. my application is on a printing press that hold a large carousel about 100 lbs, and a continuous added pressure of 20 - 30 lbs. I wouldn't be able to comment on what force it would handle in a shearing, or lifting situation. All in all if you're handy you should be able to make it work, and the only negetive I would have ( other than the flat/ no offset ) would be that because it's cut from one pc, theres actually some spots that it wants to bind up in rotation due to the cut not being perfectly round. Under load tho this doesnt have a huge impact on function. Hope this is helpful at all. Good luck
