Why it's buy-it-for-life
Multiple long-term owners report years of heavy use with only minor issues like a rusted heat deflector or an app that stopped working, though one comparative comment rates it below Cookshack/MAK.
What owners say
Long-term owners report solid durability: one is 'still rocking' an 850 Pro after '6 years of heavy use' with only a 'rusted heat deflector' as a complaint, and another has used an 870 for 5 years with 'zero rust issues' and it 'holds temp great,' aside from an app that stopped updating. A separate commenter who has used multiple brands rates Cookshack and MAK as 'hands down better' than their Pit Boss.

I'm still rocking the Pit Boss 850pro series. Going on 6 years of heavy use, rusted heat deflector aside. Works "fine"
Going on 5 years with my Pit Boss 870, holds temp great, zero rust issues.
Hand down better than my Pt Boss, GMG or the crappy RECTEC i had.
