Small sample, but I have had great success buying used on ebay from the second group. Usually pay about $100 or less shipped.

I purchased two new from the first group, and one failed within a year with little use, the second is okay so far, but really does not get a lot of use, if it fails I will never buy a group one again.

I would avoid anything without:
+ flux vector control mode
+ external braking resistor

Most guys are way better off looking for a reputable brand used off eBay.

For example:



That one would be an awesome drive for someone.

Yaskawa has on their website under the v1000 model: failure rate 1 in 10,000.

Mtbf: (mean time before failure) 28 YEARS.

A similar drive from Mitsubishi has a 5 year warranty….. they post average lifespan with normal use (example of normal use: running in a factory 24/7) for their machine drives: 10 years.

Amazon drive vs Japanese name brand drive, or most other name brand drives is apples and oranges.

The Japanese drives are typically bears to program though…. European/American companies (Teco/Schneider/Vacon)usually have an easier user interface…. But almost always less warranty.
