Has anyone had one of these for more than a year. Every one we've bought (not this model) burst a seam after 75 or so baths.

great question. This bath pillow lasted longer than any previous one but only 5 months and I mostly shower. i would say it lasted 30 baths.

I haven't had this for a year, perhaps 6 months, but I've used for at least 75 baths. One of the seven suction cups will pop out from time to time when I remove the pillow following bath but they pop right back in. Otherwise this has been a great product so far. If it does come apart at the seam I will buy another of this model as replacement.

Check for a warranty, if you would be organized enough to claim on it. FWIW, we had extremely good service out of the ones we bought years and years ago. Not sure if manufacturing has changed. My child was a toddler when we bought them, and he's almost out of the teen years old now. A few times through all those years, we've noticed a few bugs and unplugged it and plugged it in and it's started working again; or plugged it in for a couple of weeks in a different area of this house when I started seeing a few bugs in far flung areas. (My limit is 3 bugs before I react.) We JUST ordered a replacement for one unit. I started seeing a few bugs this Summer. The lights on the unit were not acting as they had in the past. (There's a pattern to the lights if you watch it.) This time, unplugging it did not reset it -- not sure if it finally failed or if that unit got hit by lightning. This time, the electronics guy here said it had really failed. Of course, with any electronics, no telling if the newer made units are manufactured elsewhere or with different components. So I can't predict quality of the newer units. It's worth a try imo because two of these units have kept my large house bug-free (other than spiders in the ceiling and ants coming in the back door), never sprayed any insecticides, for... 16 - 18 yrs? I hope the new units give as good service! (Said engineer is going to open the failed unit up and see if it's simply a capacitor or something repairable when he gets time. Just curiosity. The schematics are available online now if you search for the patent. But we just went ahead and bought a new unit. )

I have found these inexpensive soap dispensers invariably fail after a year or so. In fact, I believe I recall some name brands failing in the same length of time. I don't have a solution...

Seems the latest batch have that issue... Mine is beyond return so I threw it away and bought a different heater... shame that the quality of the product went down hill as I have a unit I bought a few years back that is still running strong

Seems to be a common problem with this unit. If you look closely there are two holes on the bottom. Mine started leaking from one of those. A safety feature perhaps, but seems to be a flaw also. I ended up replacing mine! It started leaking about 14 months after purchase. I used it every day.

I have one I saved from about 20 years ago. I've been looking for a new one but the old one still works. I just keep washing it.

Well i didnt have a problem but i do change hoses frequently cause if there not washable ( most of them arent) the do built some kind of dust from the charcoil and it tends to brake them or clogg them so you need to buy new ones and problem solve if you are willing to invest buy the washable ones there a lil pricier but u can rinse them and there way more durable

We are not having either of those issues... we installed two of these in our home... one in the powder room and one in the guest bath... it has been almost 1 year and no issues at all. Maybe the flange needs to be cut down?

I bought a 75 ft and the same thing happened. I called the company and they aren't responsive to my complaint. I certainly don't recommend buying from them. I don't think they are guaranteed because on the paperwork in the box doesn't state a word about any type of guarantee. I just hooked up 2 50 foot hoses yesterday made by DAP. Bought them at Bed, Bath & Beyond. They are much stronger but I don't see any guarantee in their paperwork. Go online at www.xhosepro.com and check it out.

I used mine for one season and awoke one night to water pouring out on my floor. The spring is broke on one side so I decided just to use the other side and it did the same thing. Guess it's time for a new one but this time I want one that lasts longer than a season.

Bryan is right on the money Mike. I wish you the best of luck with any ecotemp product as they have a 60% + failure rate and the owner claims all that fail were due to "freeze damage"! [even in the summer]I have purchased 3 of these units NEW, one lasted 4 years. Both of the replacements I purchased lasted LESS THAN 14 DAYS! When they burst they will pump out water until you stop it.Please read all of the reviews before you buy...

This hose may have changed since I bought mine years ago. It burst after 45 days of use and the company refused help since they only honor a 30 day warrantee. Knowing that, I would send it back immediately for a full refund.

Wow, mine is the same age and may have the same issue! The hose barb on mine developed a crack along the seam in the plastic. I found a new one online right here at Amazon: "Solo 4074654 Sprayer Hose Barb". Expensive for a little plastic part. I wrote to Solo about the issue, but never received a response. This one will be delivered today in fact...

We've owned this model for 5 years and it's been great. Ours just developed a leak near the water level window so we're going to retire it and buy another one just like it.

Hey Mark,This model broke the day I bought it. I ended up spending more money on one at bed bath and beyond.

We have had ours around one year and are experiences issues with it, again. I thought it was the operator, thanks for the enlightenment.

No. The first one we bought did last two months before the seam failed, but I assumed it was something we did wrong and replaced it. The second one another seam failed after a week. Neither could be repaired.
