issues with DC uplift pumps

I'm keen on getting a DC6000, but I'll stick around to see how they do in the long run. They haven't been on the market for too long and they seem to be great, only for a year or so.
How long have they been around?
 
Has the issue been with the pump itself or the controller? If it's the controller can it not be repaired?
 
This is the 2nd time im having problems with the jebao dc9000...first one stopped working completely...the second one has power supply issues...the pump switches off on its own..running it on lower speed for about a week now and hasnt switched off on its own...im thinking maaybe the power supply has a built in safety overheat feature.i am not sure.
But one thing is for sure, im going back to ac pump as my return pump..im tired of mopping floors...lol
December is near and i need piece of mind while on holiday...
I completely lost trust in these dc pumps as return pumps for my tank.

@Ridwaan, before you go AC try us dude, I have 3 faulty units out of over 100 sold, and I know where the differences lies between the various brands.

MY dc-5000 has been giving me issues lately, just randomly stops and needs to be powered on and off to get it working again. Going to give it a good vinegar soak and see if that resolves the issue.
