Products are usually of a very good quality, I've had hose fittings permanently attached for several years in the Wimmera sun. That's enough to kill any plastic product, but these keep working. I've recently taken advantage of Boxing Day sales to build up a supply of spare parts. the originals have got to die sometime. The only disappointments I've had have been in the Solar Lights, some have not been 'Weather-Proofed'. The rain (when it comes) eventually finds an access point and the moisture 'Shorts' out the electrics. These are "Solar lights", they are meant to be outside. Having said that, I still have a couple of the small colour changing lights still happy to shine on 5-6 years later.
