LOL… I s’pose any manufacturer would be thrilled to have customers that bought their products shrieking, “why won’t it just die!!” over the internet years later. Can’t hurt the OP’s confidence in their choice either.
No idea how long these things are s’posed to last for. Actually wouldn’t mind if it held out for another 2 - 3 years until I’ll be ready to do the OTB mix setup properly.
