La Valentina Pump Life Expectancy

With daily home use, just wondered generally how long the vibe pumps last before they begin to lose their power. Thanks, Dave Brown

in my own personal experience, generally around 5 to 7 years, but they can go in as little as 3-4. They do seem to weaken over time and sort of fade away, or work well for some shots and badly for others.

keep in mind:

should it ever fail, if you can play with a child's lego set, you can replace the pump yourself.
