Yes, I have the previous generation too (the one that looks like a globe mounted on top of a donut), and 'getting stuck' is something that has not happened in 6 years of ownership. The only issue I have had with it is that the weight sensor gradually drifted and became miscalibrated, so my cat no longer triggered the timer when stepping on it; it turned out the pressure sensor is adjusted by a washer on a screw, and it had come a little too lose (=too heavy requirement).
