I have two Eheim Pro 2224s that have been in non-stop use for over 15 years. Never had to do anything to either one. Still running on original seals, etc.

when i was living with my parents. my dad had a community tank in the living room and it was filtered by an Eheim 2015 external canister filter. (was updated to 2115 then 2217).he must of bought that in 1985 and to this day it is still in use. never had to change a propeller or parts and now is owned by my little cousin (bill88) who uses it to filter his Dovii tank.
Hagan Aquaclear 402 powerhead, it is 14 years old and still runs like a champ.
They changed the name of it now but they are still selling it.

Rio 2100 that has been in a Amiricle SL wet/dry since 1994. The heater (visi-therm) that was in it is just as old. Can't see inside of it, but it set to 78* and is still going on a QT tank. I've got a few Aquaclear filters that are 15+ and still working on a part time basis.
