The reviews look great other than the units not linking at or around the 6 month mark per the reviews. Normally I do not pay much attention to negative reviews when there are so many positive reviews, but almost all of the negative reviews are of the...

i have had these since early may of 2013. i use them everyday in a 2700 sqft home in a high wireless communication area and we have only had this occur once due to a lightning storm and they reset on thier own. these have been a fantastic purchase for us and our baby. from my perspective, this is a non issue.

Read an article claiming it is not fixed.... I guess I'll wait for the reviews. Like you said, everyone came out with new models, but out of the bunch, this one caught my attention. (most bang for the buck, easily)

I would agree - most of the reviews look fake. Even really good products get one or two bad reviews. I really wish Amazon had a way or reporting abuse for that type of thing. (This not the only product I've seen this happen with).

I got them in July and they are great looking. Unfortunately, all of them have been falling off the wall. Until I am really tired of them, I will continue using scotch tape to keep them in place (tacky I know, but the landlord doesn't want holes in the walls). I have been disappointed that they didn't have a longer life.

see the video attached in the main picture section of the description.. the old reviews reporting problems aren't really valid anymore because they updated the design.

Thanks. Now it also shows reviews again. Strange. It did not show any reviews nor the link to write a review when I posted here 5 days ago. Maybe it was a glitch in the Amazon.com website or something. Cheers!

Thanks for pointing this out. I checked on most of the reviewers, they have reviews on a lot of products so I'm skeptical and will try a different product.

I am definitely thinking the same thing; I posted a not very positive review a couple of days ago, and within hours tons of 5 star reviews popped up and my two star review went back to page two or three. I think that somebody (or bodies) are playing us for stupid. lol

Negative as well as positive SHILL REVIEWS are a persistent and widespread problem on Amazon...in fact, it's an entire industry (google "reputation management")...many of the biggest corporations (e.g. Bose) use them!

Yes they do fizzle out over time due to battery wear, but this photo may have been posted several years ago and never updated. It's up to the seller to ship units that have recent dates code. At Small Fleet Parts we only ship current units with a full warranty to work.

I bought one after the bad reviews, and have had no problems. I am entirely pleased with the product. That doesn't answer your question, I know, as clearly it wasn't a 100% failure rate.

That was our experience. The company on has a one month warranty and two month return. Rather than post a negative review, as I did, why not threaten them with a negative review? At that point, there will be two bad reviews, which means that no one who reads reviews will ever buy their product. Maybe they will give you a refund. Unfortunately, we are out our investment.

What I want to know is, after reading these reviews both good and bad, I am wavering about whether I should keep my Striiv. How is the company going to support me if and when the devices freezes, stops working altogether etc. I am a citizen on a fixed income and really bought this device at great sacrifice to myself. I would appreciate an answer ASAp

We owned ours for about 3-4 months when it stopped linking. I contacted the company and they sent me another one immediately no problem. However, at 13 months, it stopped working again and it was our of warranty. :( I did not repurchase this brand due to the linking problem. I will say we loved this monitor when we owned it.

Because the Consumer reports probably tested everything but durability! Samsung knows how to load its products with great new specs and slickness, and so they're good at making a good "first impression"! These attributes tend to get those products on many top 5 lists upon their release, without long-term performance being factored in! A lot of the reviews here are from people who got burned after a few months of use! Maybe if you want to buy a Samsung product, you stay away from the newly released models.

Plenty of reviews on line, which I took with a grain of salt. I didn't find they reduced mine but they haven't progressed either. I remain optimistic.

I don't know why the bad reviews, this is a great unit. If 1 out of six gave a bad review the other 5 gave good ones.
