No one really knows how long these machines will last.

But mine has nearly twice your hours on it.

Those machines have an average life of 15000 to 18000 hours. About 6-7 years.

Mine has over 20,000 hours on it and is close to seven years old. It is working just fine.

Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.

it's always a good idea to have a spare on hand, regardless of the age of the main unit. these things have a tendency to quit at just the most inconvenient times.
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.
