Why is this device so expensive when compared to others that do the same job. One reviewer said they paid around $25 for this device. What's up?

Most of these external floppy drive will only work with high density disks. Some will only work with Windows high density discs. This one claims to work with high density and double sided Microsoft formats.

I have used this for a while - still works, but a lot of quirks - strongly suggest paying more and getting a better unit

Hmmm, I wish I could tell you for sure. I paid about $125, at it's great. It's been in use for over a year, and no sign of problems. Good luck.

Sounds like a great idea! Suggest it to the manufacturer. I have no idea if it's offered but the unit is good enough to deserve it.

I'm sorry I believe that they are charging that much for one unit on this item. A little overpriced obviously. Our price is for one unit.

It's because that one has a touch screen. Touch screens are expensive. I mean that's why it's more expensive of course.

Economics of any device centers around supply and demand. Because it is such a great product and they do not manufacture them anymore, demand is high and supply is low. Enough people are willing to swallow the costs to get their hands on one.

I'm also disappointed, now it's up to 69.99! It use to a bargain compared to Anker. Not sure about that anymore... It must be demand like everything else. Did you find an alternative?

Yes there are a LOT of fees. Look it up on their website. I paid nearly $300 in contract and subscription fees just to get fed up with this grossly unreliable piece of junk and toss it into my saddlebag. If you want an electronic device to save you and bring the cavalry running, you're wasting your money on Spot. I bought it for my Alaska motorcycle trip. What a useless piece of junk. Always shutting off. Always disconnecting. DON'T BOTHER! And I'm an IT professional - I DO have a clue.

Unbelievable. That's my take on the price point established for this device. $2k to charge a USB device? 100w? That's about .8 (eight tenths) of one amp of current for any device needing 120vac (w/v=a). I can certainly understand the utility aspect of this item, but not the price being asked for such anemic output or novelty of sun tracking. And sorry, Matt, but "600" watts doesn't even come close to a 'typical' refrigerator. Mine demands 9.7amps - that's (v x a =w) so that's 120 x 9.7 = 1,164 watts. The price point is ludicrous for what is being offered.

You probably need to ask the manufacturer. The device is so inexpensive you may need to buy another since the manufacturer may not find it cost effective to sell parts.

Seriously... Amazon needs to drop the price! I'll buy a second one if they give a 50% discount (cuz that's the price I got my first unit - $215 last year).

Something is obviously wrong with that pricing. I paid $20.00 for it. Haven't used it enough to answer how well it works, but maybe I'll give another try today.

Not that I have seen so far. Service from the company has been excellent, and it's still working well for me. I do wish it could be a bit cheaper, but pricing seems to be at or below the competition, so I'm willing to pay for what works.

How's this unit so cheap? The MSRP is more than $1000.00 and the reseller price is about $800!

Cefaly.us has a set of 3 electrodes for $25, so the price is going down. When I first bought my device, I paid $359 for the unit + 3 extra electrodes. It came with one, so the price has gone down some.

I'm curious myself... In a world where one could buy a cordless keyboard AND mouse for less then $50, it seems a bit ludicrous that this thing costs $169.99
