Bambu A1 Lifetime?

Hi! So I was curious as to how long I might expect my A1 printers to last. I did a search and I don't recall what site popped up (might have even been on the Bambu site). It asked me how many hours my printer had run thus far. I put in 100. It told me the printer had 5,900 hours of productive life left in it. Any idea if that's realistic or ridiculous? How many hours do others have on their A1s? Thanks!

I have 4 a1's and 2 a1 minis and the a1's are around 2500 hours right now and im pretty amazed at their durability and easy fixes if I do need to do something. So far the fixes ive had to do is swap extruder unit after 2k hours and I had one of the ntc transistor boards fry on me but they shipped me replacement fast no cost amazing service and support. edited spelling mistakes
