Sometimes I feel like I'm the only Barley Crusher success story in the history of homebrewing. I've been using one for 10 years. Had the rollers fail to spin / run grain through a number of times in the first couple years - disassembled, cleaned, lubricated. About 7 years back when I disassembled, I lubed the portions of the shaft sitting in the bushings with a tiny bit of gun oil. Never had a problem since. Only brew about once a month, 5 gallon batches (prolly average of around 15-16lbs grain per batch), so maybe I'm not running it into the ground as much as some folks.
I think I'd agree with the consensus now that I'd probably get a Cereal Killer for the $
