   Mine tend to blow up before that age.  My last one decided to run   
   continuously, I guess something shorted out when some condensed water got   
   through the centre whatsit on the turntable.  I was in a foul mood at the time   
   and couldn't be bothered repairing    
   it, since they're so common you can get them for free on freecycle.
