It's fine, but over 30+ years I've had to purchase a new one every ~5 years for various reasons. Wasn't bad enough for me to consider a different brand, but just accepted the subpar (in my view) lifespan. Sometimes I would have it tuned up, wheel rubbers replaced, bags, etc., but wear & tear always won the race. It was always something.
