ELECTRONNIX SELLING DEFECTIVE PL-880
936912
This unit is defective.  There is a documented problem with the fine tuning in lower and upper sideband and although this problem has been fixed in NEW radios, Electronnix is still selling the defective radios.  This radio was manufactured over a year ago and should have been taken off the market and not being sold through Amazon.  VERY DISSATISFIED that Electronnix (KAITO) would still be selling this radio to unsuspecting buyers.  BUYER BEWARE buying this unit from Electronnix (KAITO).

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT UPDATE: In my communication with CH I have discovered that they do NOT have any kind of replacement policy for defective hardware. They advertise a "2 year warranty" but that warranty only covers repair, which you have to pay to ship the item for. I don't want a refurbished unit for brand new prices, I want a brand new one that WORKS out of the BOX, since that's WHAT I PAYED FOR.

DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT buy CH products. They do NOT support their products effectively. Defective electronics should be REPLACED under warranty. I expect far better support for products that cost this much.

I would be writing a rave review for this product right now talking about it's superior construction, supreme precision and perfect action. I would be, except that my unit came with a defect in the X axis, and when I contacted CH directly about exchanging my hardware they suggested I return it through Amazon. That's convenient for them, because they don't have to do anything, but not for me as I will be without a joystick. Since I'm having to return my defective unit instead of a simple, quick exchange, I'm not 100% sure I'll be purchasing another one. Seriously disappointed in CH customer support

UPDATE: I forgot to mention that while the unit was advertised and sold as "new," it very clearly was NOT. The packaging had been opened before and re-sealed with packing tape, there was a wad of paper packing material jammed in around the top of the joystick and absolutely NO manuals or documentation in the box. The box has TWO "inspection" stickers on it, one that appears to be from the manufacturer and one from Amazon. Clearly nobody ACTUALLY inspected the unit, or else it was returned as defective and re-packaged to be sold as "new."

Furthermore, I have decided I will NOT be purchasing another of these units. Any manufacturer that makes a joystick that costs this much should be willing to stand behind their product and make an exchange, especially when I contacted them only 9 days after receiving the item. My confidence in CH support is so badly shaken that I am now concerned about what would happen if I purchased another unit and then it failed outside my 30 day Amazon return window.

As a result, I will be gladly taking my money to Logitech or Thrustmaster. It's a shame, because some decent customer service and a little effort on their part would have retained me as a CH customer AND earned them a STELLAR review.

I have looked at three separate lots of Geeetech Mega R3 boards, sold between February 2015 and June 2015, and all of them are defective.  The support for I2C is non-functional.  Geeetech continues to sell this board, knowing that it is defective, in hopes that customers will not notice until it is too late to return the board.
The defect was first mentioned on their own customer forum back in February 2015, and Geeetech admitted the problem, yet continue to sell the board.
They have promised me repeatedly that each batch of boards has corrected the problem, but they are still selling the same old defective boards.
I have purchased many other brands of Chinese Arduino-compatible Mega R3 boards and they have all worked perfectly.  Only Geeetech boards have had problems, and they have persisted for many months, and Geeetech will absolutely not offer refunds or, obviously, working replacements -- since they don't have one.
I would strongly urge you to avoid Geeetech products because not only are they defective, but the company has been a nightmare to deal with.  They say everything that I want to hear, but deliver nothing.

I purchased the N9003PCE card last March, 2016. I used it once and found I had a bad socket on my mainboard. So I only used it once. I finally received a new board last month and set everything up. Unfortunately the Rosewill adapter was not being seen. Finally I looked at the back of the adapter's status light and it was not on. I called tech support and all they could say it is probably dead and I should go and buy a new one. No help whatsoever in trying to find out if there was a problem. All they cared about if it was in warranty or not. Very unhappy with poor support and customer service with manufacturers like this and I will never purchase from them again. Just tried to save a few bucks. What a waste.

To begin with, the first one they shipped me was DOA out of the box. After a normal amount of back-and-forth, they shipped me another one. It has never worked properly despite multiple reloads/updates/tech support emails, etc. They do not have a toll-free support line, and I got tired of spending a lot of my time and dollars getting nowhere with them. The hardware is probably quite good, but if you are not a fan of buggy software, look elsewhere!

I purchased this Tigweld 200sx December 17, 2013 and recieved it in January 2014. Since that time I have used this machine a total of three times, once for fabricating a set of stainless steel handrails for a handicapped friend, to fabricate an aluminum sculpture and just a few days ago to create a few small aluminum sculptures out of aluminum horseshoes.

The argon gas ran out during the process and the TIG nozzle flared and stopped working, I went and had by argon bottle replaced came back and after hooking everything back up tried to continue. needless to say the machine would now not work.

I got a very small and I mean very small arc a hum from the machine and upon inspection noticed the lower fan barely moving and when I pressed the trigger on the TIG handle I heard a clicking internally. I shut down and called tech support, they told me it may be one of two internal boards that needs to be replaced and did I open the machine.

I explained I had not and he proceeded to tell me it would cost me about $200.00 or more for one and possibly more for the other.

I immediately stopped him and said that this machine is under 5 year warranty and he asked me to hold.

When he came back he said he checked and there was only a one year warranty on this machine. I stopped him dead in his tracks and explained the promotion for which prompted me to even consider this purchase was the fact that it offered a 5 year warranty.

I would not have even considered it if this was not the case. Now I am being told they never offered such a warranty and that their policy changed back in 2001-2002 that specifically offered only a one year warranty on this Tigweld 200sx.

My Lincoln MIG welder has a 5 year warranty as does my Miller, I definitely would not purchase a new to the market machine especially from California with only a 1 year warranty, that would be throwing money away which is basically what is happening here. They did advertise it their salesman Daniel also stated it when I purchased it online and now since I do not have anything in writing regarding the conversations and their ad is no longer up for the promotion I am stuck either paying to have this junk machine repaired or tossing it.

I definitely intend to spread the word among my social media friends, family and fans as well as my welding students to steer clear of any products offered by Longevity.

The equipment is so inferior to other Brands and they do not stand by what they say or their equipment.

Their customer service is also very lacking, after several calls, online chats and contacts no one ever got back in touch with me as they said they would. I took me 5 -6 times over a period of 3 days to finally on insistence talk to a supposed supervisor also named Daniel to tell me I was a liar and that they never offered such a promotion and that it has always been a 1 year warranty.

Cheap, worthless machine and terrible company to deal with, not reputable at all machine or company.

Thank you Longevity for taking me!

I purchased this register early so I could use it Jan 1st. Dec 20th I took it out and tried to get it working. After call help line about 6 times they finally said it is defective. I tried to send it back and they say it has to be returned in 30 days. So here I am stuck with a register that is worthless and I cant return it. Not impressed. Len

Currently, the product is producing a "supply memory error" after removing all protective materials (plastic, paper, and etc). It appears the chip is not properly being read by our HP Laserjet Pro MFP 277dw printer. Will be asking for a refund and suggest no one purchase unless the problem is solved.

Two DOA amps in a row.  I gave up and went with a different manufacturer.  Each had a different issue, so it wasn't just me screwing something up.  My old EP2500 was solid.  Wish I'd never sold it.

I purchased a ultra  ULT-X2550P power supply 6 months ago for it design and warranty.  The fan quit running and burned up the power supply. I e-mailed Ultra and there reply was:

Thank you for choosing Ultra Products.

The only way I can get my power supply replaced is to allow them to charge $99.00 to my credit card. Which they said they would reimbursed in full upon reciept of the defective item at there warehouse and determined to be defectived.  They would not answer how long it would take for the refund!!

Needless to say I would not recommended purchasing  Ultra products.

I bought 10 of these Arduino Mega R3 clones, and after spending many hours trying to figure out why my I2C interface was not working, I discovered on the Geeetech website forum that the boards are defective and I2C does not work on them.  Geeetech made this admission in mid-February, before my boards were even shipped.  Which is frustrating.
It's too bad, because they do appear to be very well designed.  Perhaps in a few months (it is now March 2015) they will ship a corrected version and they'll be fine.  But they should not have allowed their distributors to ship a defective product in the first place.

The model they are currently selling does not connect to the PC...in their website the software only go to model e...why do they sell model f when there is no working software?  BAD BUSINESS!

I am sending mine back.

UPDATE:

WARNING! defective product, DO NOT buy!

I bought this laptop NEW from HP website last year. Last week, just months after the 1-year warranty expired, it died. Not turning on whether on AC or on battery. The LED indicating the charging status is always off when the AC is plugged in.

It turns out it's not an isolated problem. There are dozens and dozens of reports of the exact same critical power failure with this laptop on HP forum. You can Google "hp spectre x360 won't turn on" for them. It's a known defect with the spectre x360, and the repair involves REPLACEMENT of the MOTHERBOARD, costing you $500.00 once you are out of warranty. The reported motherboard failure happens randomly from the first day of use to over one year later. HP won't do anything to solve this problem for its buyers. No recall, no extended warranty, no explanation, but happy to take another $500 from you to repair their defective motherboard!

Original review:
I got the i5 8G 256GB SSD version from HP.com a couple  days ago with the $150 off coupon (coupon is not available anymore).

The touchscreen is equipped with Synaptics active digitizer. Funny thing is that the dell's latest version of active stylus (a03) works MUCH better with this machine than HP's own active pen.

I've had my RX-D202B for about a month now and, up to this point, it has worked very nicely.  I came home this evening to watch a DVD on my new plasma TV with full digital surround-sound via this receiver/amp, but when I turned it on there was a bright blue flash from inside the right rear of the cabinet, and now it refuses to power on, even after I've tried everything I could think of to reset it.  Its power is filtered through a surge protector, it hadn't been turned on all day prior to that, and I've verified (by meter and by hooking up my old surround-sound system) that the speakers and speaker wiring are not shorted, so I have no explanation for this behavior.  I suspect a fuse has blown, but the cabinet is designed (and the warning labels sufficiently alarming) so that opening it up to look inside seems contraindicated.  I'll know more after I take it in for warranty service, but I'm a bit skeptical of this thing right at the moment.

This unit is to replace the bad control board, brand new unit, that I purchased in summer, through Amazon, from the same supplier.  Upon arrival I immediately replaced the bad control board and it is working beautifully. What bothers me though is the fact that this supplier DOES NOT AND WILL NOT honor the manufacturer's warranty of 1 year for this circuit board. I called the manufacturer and I was advised to return it to the seller, since it has a 1 year warranty, and in return, the seller can send for an exchange or credit but the seller would NOT consider because it was past their 30 days policy. Was I pissed? You bet!!!!! I don't mind giving away $100.00 bill if it is coming from your heart. But if somebody robbed you a penny you're not going to be happy! It is not all about the cost. It is the fact that the unit sold was BAD. I need the circuit board that works NOT A LEMON! So if you happen to purchase from CT Supply, a word of caution. Check to make sure that everything works and make sure to return with in 30 DAYS of purchase. As far as their policy is concerened which seems to be more important than a happy customer, we'll I can honestly say, SCREW CT Supply's policy. I was robbed and I'm pissed!
