I had bad experience with Benjamin Marauder leaking only after 2 years. How durable are the pressure seals? How long did yours last?

The Gamo is complete garbage! I didn't have mine long enough to have the seals wear out..

Same as Daniel, I have not had any seal issues, just a couple drops of oil as recommended.

This is my second one. The first one did last a very, very long time, but when it started to go bad, it did leak.

Hi Sharon,Mine still not leaking after reworked as described by me. Really is a nice design but a minimum care from Black & Decker with us, "victims" of defective products like this one, is desirable.Cheers,Paulo

I have two of them. No leaks that I can detect. There is a negative pressure inside the barrel when the vacuum is running so even if there was a gap at the seam dust would be kept inside.

I have used these for years and the only time mine leaked was when the blue gasket in the lid fell out and i didn't notice. Check the gasket. It may need repalced or not be installed correctly.

I have not had any problems with leaks on the connections. They have worked great for me.

I have used them for up to a year after purchase. I wouldn't imagine that they would go bad as long as the seal isn't broken.

I've noticed that the rubber gasket that meets the barrel has a tendency to become loose and leak. Additionally, the faucet becomes loose when over used or bumped. To correct this problem I would advise using some super glue to seal everything as best you can. It's still a really good deal. Aside from the issues of maintaining a good seal the whole assembly works great!

I've owned several, and never had one leak at either end, or the middle. Of course, you have to be careful to screw them in nice and tight, and don't damage the threads, but the product is made of high quality materials, and should last as long as you're careful.

Mine are doing well after about a dozen uses. My only issue is getting gunk out of where it seals.

This thing leaks so bad. Buy the one from lowes that you have to twist. I got paint everywhere with this Wagner pecs use if how quickly the seal wore out

No, I have not had a problem with leaks. I have used my for about 9 months and am very satisfied with it's performance

No idea. It certainly feels and looks thicker than a Rubbermaid type barrel which I've had 3 of at the beginning of my rain barrel journey. Those invariably would start leaking within a 1 yr to 1.5 yrs. I've had the older Kyoto barrel of the 2 I'm using now for 2 years of sitting outside and no leaks and seems strong from the elements. I've been very happy with both of them.

I. have the same condition. This winter it was running 24 h for days at a time. Checked to see if 'dead spot' was leaking propane using bbq lighter. No leak detected. Mine is 2 yrs old with very heavy usage this winter so I can't tell if this is normal wear.In any case it seemed to provide same amt. of heat as when new and cylinders lasted about same time.

I have only had them for a short while, but so far so good. A friend of mine has had them for much longer, and I have never heard her mention problems with leaks. She seems very happy with them. The seal seems pretty tight.
