Has anyone had any durability issues with the Sommer, or had to use the warranty?

Yes, we are currently checking our warranty to see if we have recourse or are just plain out of luck. The sensor/transmitter pair have been extremely difficult to align and the unit switches into "safety mode" (the garage door pops back up) when nothing is apparently breaking the beam. We've tried the tp roll trick/cardboard box side trick in the hopes that it is glare off the garage floor to no avail. (Even pops up at night when there is no light shining in the garage.) We've watched it close the garage door and then locked the door to the garage only to find later that the garage door is somehow open. Today the garage door guy came buy to check it out and has diagnosed it with a bad circuit board. We purchased ours in 2011 and it isn't quite 3 years old yet.

Almost two years in and I've had zero problems. Everything still works as great as day one!

I have not had it for any length of time to answer this question honestly. Compared to what I had before (Stanley .... very noisy) thisis heaven sent. Works every time. I do not have to double check to see if it closes as I walk away. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Whispering quietis the word. I had it for 2 months now. So far so good.

I haven't had any problems and have been operating this unit for 9 months. It is extremely well built and engineered. The only contact I had with the company was to program the remote keypad and that was more technical service. I am very pleased with it.

Nope. Not once in the year and a half that I've used and abused it. I haven't had that issue at all. Good value for the $$

I'm not sure about the warranty but I've used mine regularly for 18 months with no problems.

No...but I've looked on the page and have seen a few OTHER complaints concerning durability. I have on the other hand heard of good success with contacting the Bolse people. Ask for a new one.

I have not had to inquire about warranty, my son has used this every day since August and it seems durable...he loves it. However, any item I have purchased on amazon thus far, I have had no problem returning except one recently they charged me a 20 percent restock fee, which was ridiculous.

So far I've had no problems with its durability. It hasn't broken and seems very strong. The only possible downside is that it shakes a bit during high intensity activity (I use mine for freerunning and parkour). Not really anything you can do about that though from what I can see.

I had it for a couple of years and it appears to be holding up OK (no obvious links, failure of seals or cap, brittleness of materials). I only drag it with me when I need the volume so it's getting used 3-4 times a year. It's currently on loan to a trusted buddy. I am fairly careful with it because it's made of materials that could puncture it so I don't pack it next to a spork or put it on the outside of my pack in a spot where a branch could poke it.

I don't know about the warranty. I have been using the case since December including the clip with no problems. I saw the comment about the clip in the reviews so was concerned but it has not been a problem for me.

I've only had mine for about a year and a half. In that time I've used it probably about 10 times. Other than being a little dirty here and there I can't see any signs of wear and tear on this thing. It's been great!

I don't know about the warranty as I've NEVER needed it fixed/replaced. I had used 2 others (the one that folded broke within 15 minutes and the wooden one, while sturdier, fell apart in a couple of months) - this grabber is the VERY BEST! I can actually pick up things with a little bit of weight to them (like my dog's bed, pad, and blanket eor a heavy can) without it bending or breaking and I can pick up teeny tiny onjects (like dropped pills) without any problem. It's longer than all the other ones so you might have to put whatever you're picking up on a table to reach it (I have long arms so it's not a problem for me). I LOVE this one. My OT recommended it. Best one on the market if you really need one - I think the other ones must be for those who like the convenience of having one around. I'm in a wheelchair so I NEED one, and I absolutely love this one.

We have not had any durability issues with this product. We do recommend using the proper toy cleaner, lube, and fanta-flesh powder or cornstarch to maintain it properly. It is covered under the manufacturers warranty, however, so if you have an issue, they will replace it for you.

Not sure about warranty, but it's pretty durable. However Mante is exaggerating. Mine lasted a couple years until the adjuster clamps broke. It was still pretty functional but after another year the frame started coming apart, and now one of the screw holes for screws that hold the frame together is stripped. However we left it outside all year round in Boston except when there was a big snowstorm and had two kids using it so I am satisfied with the durability.

The rifle is a Cabels model about 4 years old. The scope zeroed fine. But I don't know about durability.

Hello, sorry for the delay. I made this purchase for a commercial kitchen at the company my husband runs. The warranty we received is a one year carry in parts warranty. So far, we have had no problems. The slicer is used daily cutting meat, veggies and breads. It has been a good purchase for our kitchen. Hope this helps.

I actually bought this mp to add to my mechanical pencil collection. I now have about eight mps, all different. Therefore, I could not provide any info regarding its durability. I can say that this is a beautiful, finely crafted instrument. It may be the best in terms of appearance. I really don't think you would go wrong if you selected this one. Best of luck!!

David, I bought one of these several years ago and used it for a half dozen flights... no issues with it so far. I have not had to inquire about the warranty yet. I used to have a soft case for my clubs and that one wore out rather quickly. hope this helps.
