I have a EX21 since the beginning of this year.
I scroll a lot, that means at least 2 to 3 hours a day, every day.
And i never had problems.
My machine is also an european type, from axminster.
But i have a feeling that it is somthing like cars.
Some people drive a car more then 10 years without any problem, and others drive the same car just from home to the garage and back.
I bought a few machines from axminster, and never had any problem with them.
Maybe i'm just lucky....
