Most of those machines like the Freshroast and the I roast and there are a couple others are glorified pop corn makers. They aren't designed for longevity especially if you roast on a regular basis. They are more for casual use and light roasts. I had the I roast and it lasted about 2 years of regular use. Go to the Sweet maria's site and they explain all about roasters.

Unfortunately I'm having to choose between junking a popcorn maker every 3-4 months or a little roaster like that every couple of years. I think the cost will more or less balance out in the long run, and I just hate throwing things out more than I have to.

This is one of the many reasons I wish I had more space so some of the other home roasters would be options. However, for the time being, that isn't the case.
