Why it's buy-it-for-life
Split verdict: many owners report 8-20+ years of regular use (some units bought secondhand decades ago and still running), and replacement blades/gaskets/gears are easy to find. But recurring complaints are common too — motor couplers breaking, gaskets leaking and growing mold, and motors dying after just a couple years of daily use on other units.

probably 12 years old, only think I don't like is the lid always seems to get stuck
- 2r/BuyItForLife comment
it's about 20 years old and still going strong... very pleased at how easy it has been to find replacement parts

I've had motors die on these after a couple years of daily use. They are cheaply made

Must be 15 to 20 years old now. Still use it frequently too.

the gaskets always leaked or got tangled up in the blades somehow

Mine is 8 years as well. Still works great.
I had this for 8 years! Only replacing because I was gifted the Ninja Blast for Christmas.
the motor coupler broke in the base, and it wasn't economically repairable
Had 2 magic bullets and they both leaked from the gasket, always a pain to clean.
We've went through 3 within the last 5 years
I loved my Magic Bullet!!
I've had one for 10 years probably... it's great at that job.
