OK, Lots of bad reviews. Does anyone have more than one? Possibly running a shop or equipment lab. If so, how has a whole room of these performed

I find my SurgeMax Pro working and in good condition... no problems at all... I have a lot of stuff to plug in and in one socket too... wow! would I recommend it... you bet I would... also thinking about another for those tools that you have to recharge.. wouldn't it be nice to have a plug (home for all of them and not have to try and find your tools all over the place... thinking about it...seriously...

I'm sorry to hear of your problems; it really doesn't seem fair. The expense of returning the thing should definitely not be yours! Dehumidifiers are uniquely problematic, it seems. Our Kenmore and Frigidaire models worked beautifully until they stopped working, and the time was pretty short. We may have better luck with the Soleus.... but as I think I mentioned in my review of it, it's because these contraptions seem to require replacement quite often that we buy relatively cheap ones. My only advice, and you may have tried it already, is to HOWL at these people, long and loud. Be a squeaky wheel. Maybe their sense of fairness will kick in.

Nate, I've owned this machine about 9 months now. I've put several hundred sheets through it. Some I've put straight in, in little packs, the machine ate them up. Others, I've stacked and laid them in, and closed the lit, it ate them as well. I read all the reviews too, prior to buying. I compared more $ costs to bigger and better machines, but who wants to pay $$$ big dollars just to shred junk you don't want, or need? My idea is this machine for the money it cost, does a better than average job, and doesn't jam. I think I've seen my wife feed it so much paper, hand fed, group after group for long enough to cause the machine to jam once. Once! When it did that, it backed itself up, and cleared the jam. I had her wait a little while to let it cool down. Gotta remember it's not a professional machine, but a darn good home owner's machine that does the job. There's always somebody somewhere that'll review that it's a terrible machine. Gotta expect that. But more, many more, said it was very good. Including my review. Good luck. rw

sounds defective. I would call company or just send back. Mine works great for long periods. Just got another one for my sister.

Boss is very great! I have one so do my brothers and none of us have ever had any problems with them. And they can handle a good amount of watts. I have two 2100 max subs and they sound great. And boss is pretty cheap.

I bought 2 dozen or so. To answer, yes and yes. Out of 2 dozens installed in every room in the house, 2 have gone bad and are no longer working within a matter 2 or 3 months. I was able to return one but the one that burnt out last night, I'm not able to since return date has expired.

Thanks for your contact! I do have multiple machines in stock - so, I can send you some photos - but, they would only be an example of quality, not necessarily the exact unit you would receive. All these machines are in good used condition - no damage or defects - just minor signs of handling due to use/testing/shipping/etc. Please don't hesitate to get in contact with any further questions. Thanks!

Hi Seth. I red some bad reviews about this computer too.But these are not about reviewed this computer. More like sellers. I guess I got lucky. Mine is all fine as I wrote my review about this computer. This computer is hard working machine! !

Well so far, I have had terrible luck recording indoors. I have seen test on youtube and elsewhere, that display otherwise though. Many of the other reviewers seem to be getting better image quality than me.

I replaced 2 15 year old models in my restaurant with one new one - they have run everyday for 15 yrs! Sold them and paid for a new model - never had a problem - runs like a champ. Don't know anything about the other model in question.

Check for a warranty, if you would be organized enough to claim on it. FWIW, we had extremely good service out of the ones we bought years and years ago. Not sure if manufacturing has changed. My child was a toddler when we bought them, and he's almost out of the teen years old now. A few times through all those years, we've noticed a few bugs and unplugged it and plugged it in and it's started working again; or plugged it in for a couple of weeks in a different area of this house when I started seeing a few bugs in far flung areas. (My limit is 3 bugs before I react.) We JUST ordered a replacement for one unit. I started seeing a few bugs this Summer. The lights on the unit were not acting as they had in the past. (There's a pattern to the lights if you watch it.) This time, unplugging it did not reset it -- not sure if it finally failed or if that unit got hit by lightning. This time, the electronics guy here said it had really failed. Of course, with any electronics, no telling if the newer made units are manufactured elsewhere or with different components. So I can't predict quality of the newer units. It's worth a try imo because two of these units have kept my large house bug-free (other than spiders in the ceiling and ants coming in the back door), never sprayed any insecticides, for... 16 - 18 yrs? I hope the new units give as good service! (Said engineer is going to open the failed unit up and see if it's simply a capacitor or something repairable when he gets time. Just curiosity. The schematics are available online now if you search for the patent. But we just went ahead and bought a new unit. )

I'd stay away from this machine. Not because of noise, but because you'll have to return/exchange it multiple times. It is really unreliable. It isn't really all that noisy and its convenient as well. I wish they weren't made so shoddily otherwise I would still have one.

I checked a few of the reviewers posting histories. While the ones who have only a single record of reviewing any product might be cause for suspicion, there are many other reviewers whose records appear to be legitimate. I'd suggest that this is not a case of a manufactured conspiracy, but simply a case of poor manufacturing quality control. The buyers who got good units were very satisfied. The buyers who got less-than-good-units were not very satisfied. BTW, this product is currently on sale at a daily-deal website for $69.99 delivered. Your review (and others complaining of poor quality) convinced me to purchase this product ONLY if covered by a "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty.

Yes and I kept moving the cables around the cables and wraps back with electrical tape. Started working but I unhooked every night. A few times I had come in and it was off but bed was hot. I really did not think it was so. Last week everything in my room was off but the room had a funny smell. Machine was turned off but this machine still burned up everything thank God I can in the next day everything had melted. Long story short send it back or chuck it. I am being honest. Thank God cause I was getting ready for 10 day vacation. Unplug every day. Problems starts get rid not worth it.

I have one in my office (on wifi) and has worked flawlessly thus far. I don't use it intensely, but it has worked every time.
