    I usually get 1/2 of the life from the rebuild fuser

      If you only are getting half the life out of them why even do it?

        The cost to rebuild and resleeve the fuser is way cheaper than buying a new OEM fuser.

          I refurbish HP printers and resell, I would love to do all OEM but the cost makes it not very profitable.

          I cant stand the aftermarket feed rollers though,I throw them out.

          I have been selling HP 4250N's like hotcakes

            Refurbished fusers can be good and last almost as long or they can fail after a short period of time. The real important thing is what type of sleeves are used and do they replace the heat elements.
            Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

              Many of the HP Parts & Fuser rebuilders offer Fuser Units with either OEM sleeves-F/R's or aftermarket sleeves-F/R's installed in them.
              They also offer Maint Kits with OEM or aftermarket Feed Rollers included in the kits. Of course at 2 different prices.
              We use the ones with OEM parts in them & they do seem to perform closer to the OEM specs.
