Has any ever had this model break while they were on it? I saw a reveiw the other on one of these and it broke in 2 with the guy on it.

First of all there as for the guy who had it break, there is a load limit and a maximum angle. I would not use it to walk across the grand canyon.There are 11 joints, there is a little movement in each one but it has held and felt sturdy. I bought it for the RV but as yet have only used it around the house. perfect for the gutters and the attic access.

I have one new. I have used it a couple times. Did not break. Be sure that all steps hitch together. Sometimes they will slide but not always click in place

I have this model since few months but used only few times. One problem is it bend when you extend it fully. But I have not encountered breakage into two pieces.

I had a couple break on me too. I contacted the company from the manual. They needed to see an image so I took a photo and sent them an e-mail with the information. I received replacements in the mail a few days later after communicated with me on the issue. I'd make sure to list how many are broken. I got one more than needed so I kept it as a back-up in case another breaks.

Mine was working for a little bit then the bit that spins the feeder broke. Unfortunately I found out while on vacation. Tried to fix it but couldn't. So when the time came for the feeder to feed, it wouldn't spin. I don't think your missing a step. I noticed this thing broke really easily. Probably fed 2 cycles on mine and then broke.

Hey yours made it a week! Ours cracked on the first day. We returned it for a full refund and went with the m1 tank. Hope that one lasts. That is a very specific piece and if you are looking for replacement, I would try a local hobby shop. HTH Scooter

I did have the tension adjuster go bad on me too, and I purchased a new assembly because the threads were gone. The new assembly has a slightly better design and has far outlasted the first one.

I had a problem with my first one as well. Contact amazon and they will return it. I bought a second one and its working fine. Hopefully this company makes a stronger one soon. It works great. Just flimsy.

Mine does the same thing sometimes off and on for quite a few years , I tore it apart but could not find anything wrong. just make sure the paddle is tight on the crank arm and that the crank arm is tight on bottom bracket stem. Internally it's fairly simple and strong, not much to go wrong.

Mine has been spinning since i got it. It sometimes gets stuck with the magnet on top. Just give it a tap to get it going again. Dont know how it could break. No moving parts on the electrical side of things.

Mine broke trying to set it up, as though it wasn't assembled right from the factory. Something seemed to be twisted in it. I finally scrapped it and gave it a 1 star review, a first for me. Sorry I couldn't be more help...

That's never happened to any of the ones I know of. I've bought two and my Dad and brother each have one. Neither of them have had that issue. Sounds like it's time for a return.

Read an article claiming it is not fixed.... I guess I'll wait for the reviews. Like you said, everyone came out with new models, but out of the bunch, this one caught my attention. (most bang for the buck, easily)

I haven't ever had that issue. I would take it back and get a replacement for safety concerns. Good luck

I'm just a shade tree mechanic...if that. It definitely sounds like he hooked something up wrong. I did it myself and the only issue I had was with the screws that hold the fuel rails (1 snapped off at the head). Sorry I couldn't help.

Nope! Check out my review of this model to find the other model I bought when this one's globe broke early on, just as others' reviews warned. Sorry if it happened to you, too!

Ive had this model before and the adjustable plastic piece broke. Replaced it and it broke again. Id say expect two to three years out of it. Can buy a new one for the cost of the replacement part.
