How long do they last? Mine lasted approx one season that doesn't seem very long for the money?

As I bought mine a few weeks ago, I don't have a full winter's use of it, yet. We've had very cold weather and relatively lots of snow in southern New Jersey. It's done the job. I put a water-resistant cover where the heater's plug connects with the extension cord. The less expensive deicers I've had in the past haven't lasted more than 2 winters, but this one seems much sturdier.

Our first one lasted several years, maybe 5 years. Our most recent one just quit working and it only lasted a season and a half. Quite disappointing.

I bought mine in December 2012 and it was plugged in everyday until late March. We plugged it back in this past October and it is still keeping the water warm for the birds. We have had several nights below zero so it is really doing its job! The birds (and squirrels and even thirsty deer) love it!

Mine lasted one week. Then after that it would pop the GFCI outlet every time I plugged it in. So I returned it and bought something else

We only have had this birdbath heater since after the first freezing night last fall. It has worked just fine thus far.

I'm on my second season. But occassionally it stops working .... i have brought it in the house, let it dry out overnight and I take it back out in the AM and it starts working fine again.

Purchased mine in Oct. 2013, two weeks back it keeps tripping two separate 20amp GFI. I suspect some how the sealed unit is leaking water into it causing a short. My next one will have a warranty other than 30 days.

For me , they last about 4 months. I use them in a home repair business but must add that I do not use them everyday.

They are designed to last approximately 30-45 days. However, I have seen customers that have gotten much more time out of them. An average usage time would be about 2 months.

I don't know. but I like them. They are the first of several that I have tried that actually held up through a season.

It does not last forever but these lasted 6 -7 months. That's including with dust and dirt!

If kept in a cool, humid free area they can last for years. If I remember correctly I'm thinking 10 years +/- a year or two.

I am on my second set. The first ones lasted 2 years winter and all, even when I had them almost 200% over powered. I'm sure they will last much longer with the reccomended wattage.

I read somewhere that these are suppose to last for up to a year. Just make sure you keep them stored somewhere cool.

I've had the same one for 2 (summer) seasons, as long as you clean it once a week, it should last at least that long.

I have yet to replace mine. As long as you wash, dry & power them they should last quite a while.

They are supposed to last at least 5 years. I bought this TPMS one year ago, and still runnig well

They last a long time. I can't tell you how long I had the first one but I know it was at least five or more years.

Mine are fairly new (a few months old), and they're still perfect. With decent care, I figure they'd probably last a year or more with daily use. But I don't really know--this is my first set.

Mine have lasted up to six months, that is, they are still catching moths up to six months. Of course whenever full, it's a good idea to replace it regardless of how old.

I am thinking about buying these lights, but I want to know if yours have lasted? Thanks for your time :)
