Has anyone had trouble with product peeling or chipping after a few years? If it won't last at least five years my landlords won't let me use it.

You cannot guarantee that it will last for five years for your landlord; I put this product on two fiberglass shower enclosures and two cultured marble sinks and counter tops in a rental over ten years ago. I am a woman who was in my late 50s at the time and I did it all alone. I was very particular about the prep and etched the old service as well as sanded it. The shower enclosures had some small cracks and dimples that I repaired before I put on three coats. I used small foam rollers and a high quality smallish paint brush. The product lasted for seven years with bachelor renters before peeling and it never yellowed. I had a professional put refinish it after eight years due to my age and it refinished very nicely. The prep and care in application are paramount and the existing condition of the surface before prep and painting plays a big part as well. Be sure to wear a mask with carbon filter and keep the room well ventilated and on the cool side, but still in the recommended temperatures for optimum curing, as the paint creates its own hear. I've always used Scrubbing Bubbles as a cleaner afterwards to keep the coating in good shape.

I previously addressed this in my rieview. You can't use suction mats on the bottom or the paint will come off and look terrible. You also can't use scouring powder or bleach. I had this in my tub and the entire bottom peeled off after some years but it was my fault.

Try contacting Pampered Chef. If they don't sell them try putting some of that rubbery shelf type paper underneath the peeler.

Have not had a problem with any La Rochere product - not cracking, no chipping. I love mine!

I've had mine 3 years now with no troubles whatsoever. Only small amount of wear on the inside of the foil. I bought this shaver because my last Panasonic wet/dry lasted 10 years!

I have had mine about a year and use it 2-4x month, no issues this far. I do take good care of it and clean it after each use, store it inside.

I have cleaned it a couple times and it has worked fine. I assume after so long you will have to replace. I used it for 5 years.

I have not had that problem. I believe it is how careful you are when you finish with the protective layer. We were careful not to get the counter wet for many days after finishing the project and we are still careful not to let any standing water accumulate on the counters. I am sure given time that our countertops will begin to peel, but this is a cheap, easy way to give your counter tops a beautiful look.

I have had this can opener for about 5 years. It worked perfectly for the first three or so years but then it started to lose its grip with certain types of can. It still works if I try several time but not as smoothly as before. Although I wish the product would last forever, I think five years of service is a pretty good record. I'm probably going to order a replacement.

I've had mine for a few months and have used it a lot...sometimes I put too much in, but I've not noticed any gouging. Doesn't it have a 10 year guarantee? AS long as it still works and it's just looks, I personally wouldn't worry until it looks like it might actually be breaking apart. I guess it's just a bid DUNNO from me

To be perfectly honest, unless you plan on buying another set in less than 2 years, DONT BUY IT. I have had this set for less than 2 years and it is already pealing. I was taken by surprise since it looks better than the cheap stuff. Unfortunately now its peeling on me.

If glue down properly , it will last for many years . I put it down a year ago and it looks like yesterday !!!! Use plenty of glue provided . And I also used 25 year clear silicon !!!!

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.

I dropped my orange one on a sidewalk from about four or five feet up and it put a nasty ding and scratched a tiny bit of paint off. This happened right when I got it and I've had it about a year now. The paint looks like it is starting to crack(in the area around where I dropped it, it's fine everywhere else) but it has not yet started to chip or peel. I think it would take years for the paint to start to wear on one of these as long as it doesn't get dropped too hard.

It didnt worked for me that way. Usually after removed once it did not adhered good next time. Also each time after adhered came off after about 8 to 10 months. Which is ok because of nature of product. I am using this from last 3 years and I do replace them every 6 months. I am using is a to do list board. Its small area.

Bought 4 in July 2011. 1 of the 4 cracked and peeled in several places several months ago, became crispy like a potato chip. Doubt spraying would have helped. I live in Florida but they should have held up better than this. Why 1 cracked and the others did not? Dunno.

I've had mine just over three years now and have never had a problem. Not daily use, certainly, but for projects as needed. Kitchen cabinets, louve doors, moulding, the odd piece of furniture. I do make sure to clean the pieces properly (relatively easy, since there are so few parts), but I've had no durability issues so far.

Ours is now a couple months in use; using it the same way we used our old metal sink; washed-it whenever, but less carefree tossing now -- it's fine; looks the same.)
