Mine lasted a week. The furthest casting reel I've ever owned. But the levelwind refused to re engage with any reliability.  A friend who bought one at the same time bothered to attempt disassembly but quickly gave up staying it was the most complex reel he had ever seen.  Abu quickly took them back and refused to repair or replace them.  They offered us any other reel instead without further explanation.
