Motor burns out very easily.

Works great but seems to be a disposable apparatus, very short lived. After using it for about 30-40 minutes one day it burnt out and won't start up again. Can't say that I have gotten more than a few uses out of it. Very disappointed.

When it works it's fine but we've had three motors die on us and we're following instructions from the manual. Three motors! The support person I spoke with said this is a very rare occurrence but we're 3/3 so this seems to be the norm. The last motor actually started smoking. Thankfully I was working in the other room and happened to notice the smoke. The device looked like it was on the path to catching fire. Buy another product or make trips to the laundry mat.

Product worked great and we really enjoyed it for 2 years. Motor burned out with just 2 years of moderate use. I thought it should have lasted a while longer than that for the price we paid. Will consider paying much less for the next one. DISAPPOINTED !!!

very disappointed, the rotating system never worked well, it turns an sticks causing the motor to get hot (a possible fire hazard).

Purchased this motor in August of 2016.  Initially I was happy but it has flaws.  This motor was used weekly until it finally broke.  Here are the two big issues:

The base that attaches to the transom is beyond flimsy.  The motor/tiller constantly pop out of the tabs that keep the motor/tiller level.  If you turn more than ever-so-slightly, the base torques and it pops out.  The tabs finally broke in October of 2017.  It is now an anchor.  Motor is quite powerful but worthless because the surrounding components are so poorly made and cheap.

Also, the contacts in the control head of the motor are poorly made/designed or just not durable.  The motor would just spontaneously engage when turned off.  This was incredibly dangerous.  I had to disconnect the motor from the battery terminal constantly if we were swimming around the boat because it would just turn on.  I would have to turn the handle switch back an forth to finally get it to turn off.

I went the economical route but now regret it.  I gave it two stars because the motor is quite powerful.  If you are looking for inexpensive and disposable you might be ok for a while.

I bought this item in early Oct 2011.  We used it for all of 30 days (and it was on a timer, so it was only on for about 6 hours a day in the evenings) last year and we have not used it more than 10 days so far this year and the motor blew out today!!!! After checking the manufacturer site and so forth and eBay it looks like it is going to be really difficult to find a replacement motor too, because the lights and head have to connect to the motor in order to light up and have the head move.  We also had difficulty getting it to stay up like the other reviewers had mentioned and we had to use 6ft stakes tied to the legs in order to get it to stay up.  For all the trouble the only good thing was that it looked pretty cool for the 40 days or so that it worked.

My son received a white one of these from Drone Camp. It worked the first time he ran out the battery never flew again. Burnt 2 of the motors up! I tried everything, even swapped good motors for bad, but nothing helped. The director gave him a second one. Wouldn't you know, it burnt up 2 of the motors as well after running the battery down once! I probably will never buy an eachine Drone again!

I bought this brand from a department store. It's a waist of money. The third time I used it there was a burnt smell then the motor just stopped. I'm returning it today.

I bought this to use in the boat on weekends.  The burner on this burned out very quickly, within 15-20 uses.  Disappointed.

We bought this no more than 4 months ago and the motor has already burnt out. We keep it full and clean it regularly. Won't buying again.

My wife probably used it ten times or so since we received it as a wedding present in April 2012.  Now it appears that the motor has burned out.  It was unplugged when not in use so a power surge is not a possibility.

Two years in a row, two Broan motors burnt out on me (only got one year out of each motor). $300 for an electrician to install each year. Horrible.

At first I really liked this, it kept the air circulating around my desk.  However; this product lasted me 2 months and the motor has already burned out.

Stinking fan barely made it two months!  It just quit, Im fairly handy and all I can figure out is the motor shorted out.  Wife noticed it wasn't turning one evening, touched motor housing and it was super hot.  Its also very weak!  Even on the highest level you can barely feel it 10ft away.  Of course its too far past lousy warranty to return.
