I have a brand new, unused one as well but I'm saving it untill this one is no longer good. This is roughly 7 years old and gets used monthly. I always put a trash bag over it which is why it's still relatively clean.

    When you switch to the new one don't forget to remove & reuse the peg and screws for something else!

    Take forks. A cheap plastic fork many times breaks on first use. A nicer plastic fork can last for hundreds of uses, although intended for the same life time. A steel fork lasts (AFAiK) forever. Getting disposable products over the first hump of the bathtub curve leads to some interesting bathtub curves.
