We have to do more maintenance on ours than most people but that is because one of ours is in our rug cleaning pit. The 2" deep water slinging around the machine doesn't lend itself to more than 2-3 years of dependable service before the water corrodes something. The one that we don't put in our wash pit has almost no issues. We actually took one of ours to a business expo the other day and had it in our booth. Before we took it though we repainted the blue deck. I believe that one was 7-8 years old and had never been repainted. It looks great now.
