" ... Most will last at least 5 years, some have even lasted 8 or more, but this one died (no longer turned off/on when it was supposed to, whether or not the batteries were brand new) after just 3 years. ... I bought another one because I really like the simple function and programing, but that one also failed after just 1 year. ... An additional one purchased before the second one failed, is still working, but it's only two months old, and I doubt it will fare any better. ... "
