I've been using EB's for five years and honestly wouldn't ever give them up, I now own 14 of them. Tomatoes, Peppers, Cucumbers, Squash and most everything else I've tried have grown beautifully. I consider them a good investment as my five year old "originals" look as good as the one I purchased this year. I just don't know how long one made from a Rubbermaid container would last but I would have to say 8-10 years seems reasonable for the EB's. Here's a pic of two with Romaine Lettuce taken about a week ago at 4 weeks after transplanting. The lettuce grows so fast that in 2 weeks it will all be picked and they will be replanted with Summer Squash and Basil.
