I used to own one 10 years ago and it died on me after 1.5 years due to leaking seals. Have they improved on the seals? How long does yours last?

I've had mine since October 2014, since then no issues. On par with a regular firearm as far as production quality and materials. Of you haven't had one on ten years, i suggest getting a 1377 one more time. I think the production is asset it's highest level.

Over time seals do get dry and leak. You might try and disassemble it, clean, oil and reassemble. This link shows you how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLSnFP1hSEU. If you google Crosman American Classic 1377 you will find a lot of info. Hope this helps.

I have only used the gun a few times, didn't have the power I wanted so I don't know how long the seals will last. Sorry I can't help.

I have owned one for about 8 years. I do not shoot it much, but it still shoots fine when I do.

Mine is about two years old and has been used pretty heavily without the seals breaking down as yet! I hope your experience is not about to happen to me!I watched the YouTube disassembly video, which is quite well detailed, but unless you are mechanically adept and have the special tools needed, in hand, I think you might have trouble doing the job. You will also need to order the replacement kit from Crossman. I would certainly check to see if Crossman would handle the repair and what their charge would be before deciding what to do!!

Mine are doing well after about a dozen uses. My only issue is getting gunk out of where it seals.

I used it heavily for 6 or 8 months, and it's been stored for the next 6 or 8 months, so I can't say for very long term use. However, one of the reasons I chose it is that small parts can easily be replaced, rather than junking the whole thing as you'd have with a cheaper brand. I've also used others' sealers like FoodSaver and I can tell you this one is much better quality.

Had mine for 2+ years and still dry as a bone. Assembled properly, there shouldn't be any issue with water leaks.

I have had two for years with no leaking, but they are not used on a regular basis. I did always store them flat. Perhaps they don't make them as well anymore?

My wife used hers daily for several years and didn't have issues. However, if you open it up and the gasket is worn or the metal filter is clogged, it may be time. For $5, it is a no-brainer.

My first one lasted five years. Had to replace the pump once and tubing etc every other year.

Hey Dustin : Every morning I look at that seal and wonder how long it will last. My advise to you would be to contact Amazon Customer Service. It is my firm belief that they can do just about anything short of changing the earth's rotation to assist any customer service issue that arises.

My best friend has had hers for 21 years, I have had mine for 16. These mixers are awesome. I use mine five times a week. As far as leaking oil I have only had that happen when liquid or dough gets up in the mixer part where it should not be. Just dry it off before it gets in the food. You will LOVE this mixer!

My first one lasted over 10 years. Read my earlier review for more details.

Have had no problem with leakage so far on the two units purchased around last June (2013) for my large pool. I suspect you received a defective unit, or it was damaged somehow compromising the seals. Suggest you send back for replacement if possible.

Mine leaked. You might need new gasket rings. Mine always broke and didn't seal completely.

Weird! I just had a repairman in today about the same issue. That is why I came to this site just now & saw your comment. I am trying to find out if I had any type of warranty. I bought mine in May of 2012 & it stopped working properly about 6 months ago. There is some sort of leak. It is going to cost about $400 to repair - that is including $85 for coming out & diagnoising problem.

I had some around 5 years old and I did notice it's quality depleted a bit. If it was kept cool and dry it might still be ok.If it comes out runny it's time to replace.

I have had mine running since the day I received it and have never had a bit of problem with the O-ring seals!!! It doesn't leak at all!! They are tight and can be a little hard to get back on at times but I like the way the barrels work!!!

Yes. It is the new improved model that doesn't have the leakage issue. I believe those ones that did have leakage problems were made around two years ago. Mine is almost a year old now and it still works fine.

I had asked that same question before purchasing a Karcher K5.740 from Power Equipment Direct. Their answer "about five years". About the only thing they know how to do is take your order. This unit lasted less than 20 hours before the seals started to leak and the unit started cycling on/off. To get it repaired would have cost a shop rate of $75/hour plus parts. This is an overpriced, poorly engineered piece of junk.
