Keurig products usually last about three years, but if you take good care of the unit, clean it appropriately, and descale it every six months, the time can extend up to six years. Although some reviewers have reported leakage after a few days of usage, the manufacturer claims they have solved the issue with recent products. Also, they either refunded or replaced faulty units and confessed the shortcoming was on their part. The one year warranty ensures you can purchase the product with peace of mind. If there are any physical or performance flaws with your machine, the manufacturer will make up for it.
