Assuming that the machine is well cared for, I would think it would continue to function properly, but that after a certain number of hours, the manufacturers might say that as a warning, so that you don't have a machine that will just conk out all of a sudden on you... and probably also to sell more machines.Janknitz wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 2:21 pmI don't want to hijack this thread, but this brings up a question. When the "motor life exceeded" message comes up, is it really necessary to get a new machine, or is that just to sell newer models. Assuming I have a backup (waiting for the old PRS1 foamgate replacement) is it safe to wait for problems before replacing my S10 when the message pops up?Oh, man. I'm upgrading from my S9 Auto, which has worked so well for me for years, but I just got the "motor life exceeded" message and have 21903 hours on it
Much like a car with number of miles, this makes me ask: what is a reasonable number of hours a machine is expected to last?
