They are 9 years old and still working HOURS say 10 a day 365 days a year for 9 years 32850 hours. I've had others that last like 6 months.
Saving electricity-perhaps, but I have a bag full of LED bulbs that have failed. The issue seems to be not enough cooling around the bulb built in power supply.

I agree that it is a matter of opinion. But, for what it's worth, GE claims that their 60-watt equivalent dimmable bulbs and their 60-watt non-dimmable bulbs will both last 13 years. Personally, I think that as prices decrease, the non-dimmable LED bulbs will disappear from the marketplace. Even today, the price difference is small.
