I have one myself that is about 10 to 12 years old, and use it often.

I haven't used it much in the last 7-8 years but do keep batteries in it in
case of power outages but I bought a 2001 (not the D) used about 15 years
ago and it's still going strong, looks used (actually it looked used when I
bought it) but it's still doing it's thing. Rob Mills ~ Tulsa
