This Figure is large and pointless. The figures articulation is awful if not none existent at all. The guns do not fit in his hands so putting him on display with weapons in his hands is out of the question. He only stands up without leaning him on something if you turn his legs in and his torso down so he looks like he has to go pee. Just a bad overall figure for 12 inch tall 50 dollar item. Its face detail is nice. So there's the positive on it.

The concept is a great idea. Have owned two of these, the first one I used for some various small projects, had issues with the battery staying charged. I finally figured out if I tie wrapped the trigger and let the battery drain completely it did take a charge and worked somewhat, but it still wasn't good. Then I was using it to put Christmas lights hanger clips behind the trim boards on the front of my house and the damn thing fell apart. Parts and pieces all over the place. I gathered up what parts I could find, took it to Lowes where I bought it, and tried to exchange it and they told me I had to send it into the company who made it. That didn't set to well with me being it is only a couple months old, but thats another issue. I ended buying another one (I'm a slow learner I guess) and that damn thing is no better than the first one. I got my Christmas light up and they really look nice, but by the time I finished the head on the newest one is loose and sloppy. Personally I feel this is a poor quality tool and agree with others about the directional switch, battery issues and overall quality. The second one is going back to Lowes too and I'm buying something else.

RJ Tech products are garbage. I bought their portable TV and it broke down in less than a week. Their customer service is also garbage. Rude, impatient people who could barely speak English over the phone. I went to their office in Chino and their manager, a bumbling fellow by the name of William Hsiao, admitted that their products are junk and they get complaints everyday. This guy then had the nerve to accuse me of tampering with the POS they sold me. After an hour of arm twisting they finally agreed to replace their junk. I went home and used it for about a week before they died again. Went back to their office in Chino and that they said they won't honor warranty on a replacement?! I gave up and just threw their POS in the garbage next to their office. As I drove off I saw two of their employees digging through the thrash to salvage the POS they sold me. They'll probably try to resell it as "refurb"... This company is complete garbage, STAY AWAY!!!

After hurricane Sandy, I decided to buy the XP6500E because of its supposed better production of power to support sensative electronics.  I have a wall hung boiler, Buderus, that doesnt work well with standard generators because of the unstable power generation, the XP units produce more of stable sine wave, according to what I have read.  Well, I cant say I have a review as to whether or not this unit solved the issue because I recieved the unit with a broken ground wire and missing washers, and I don't want to risk running it.  Simple fix right?  Well the ground wire on this unit is rated to 1,000 Volts and 90 degrees, go find it!  The only thing you can do is order a $200 spool of it, and nobody locally stocks it.  I contacted Generac directly to see if they would honor a replacement wire.  Well, customer service told me, in esscence, that I am on my own, regardless of the $1,800 price tag.  They gave me a list of several local repair facilities, none of which actually stock ANY parts for Generac.  I contacted them regarding the issue and no response.  Very disappointing experience.  I guess I will risk it with a 10ga. wire and ring connector that I rig myself.
Other than the disappointment from Generac directly, and besides the broken ground wire, the unit was packed very nicely, framed in the box with wood, assemble was farely easy besides a trip to Home Depot to buy (2) 5/8" washers that were also missing.  I hope when I fire it up it works!!

I ordered a specific screen part number matching exactly to my machine.  when I received the part the screw holes were off by 1/2 an inch.  they refused to admit that it was there fault and tried to keep my money for the part and for shipping 2 ways.  so I left some bad feedback...shortly after recieved a call from them saying they would refund my money if i removed the feedback.  so i removed it and they didn't even refund me all of my money!!!.  and since they know you cant leave feedback about a seller more than once they think they can get away with short changing me.  HORRIBLE SERVICE.

Man, I gotta tell ya, Im about to dump Lodge all together because I'm afraid the next Dutch oven or cast cookware I get will have the
"Made in China" sticker on it that the lid lifter and this table had on them. What is it about American companies that so loudly proclaim their American roots and heritage feeling it's okay to push crap from China on us? For Chinese crap, this is better than a lot of it, but the welds are really poor, the alignment of parts that interact with other parts is horrible, I had to bend the windscreen holders into place when mine arrived to get them to work, the "adjustable" legs are a joke! They screw in or out about an inch, so at best you can adjust for a stone paver patio surface but you'd better be on damned flat ground in the beginning or start digging a flat spot!

I'm really over companies farming accessories out to China and screwing hard working Americans out of jobs. We're paying good money for this crap, it should be higher quality and have the same American roots as the cast iron pots claim to have. Hugely disappointed with Lodge on this one! I expected American craftsmanship not corporate stockholder-demanded outsourced mediocre products. It's only a matter of time before the foundry is sent overseas. I will be looking elsewhere for my cast iron and accessories from now on.

I got this wire the beginning of August, ran it a few days later and have been fighting with it ever since.  Sometimes it would work and then the phone would be dead.  It's been horrible.  I used to work for the old New England Telephone back in the 70s.  The drill is to put the phone on the Red and Green wires for consistency.  Finally yesterday I crossed the leads on one end and then metered them on the other end.  AMAZING  There was a restive short on that pair.  The reading keep going up and down.  Brand new wire!!  I don 't know if it's a broken wire barely touching or and insulation issue.

I switched over to the yellow and black pair and I was done in no time at all. No, I did NOT hammer it down with staples.

You'd never expect this of brand new wire.  I'll never buy anything from Vanco again!

Let me start by saying that I'm an electrical engineer, and fairly good mechanically.  I've always thought of APC as one of the better companies, that resisted the incessant march to lower costs and resulting poor quality.  But it looks like that's no longer true.  I bought 3 APC PRO8 Professional Surge Protectors over the past few months, and I'm very dissatified with the quality.  And if APC can't make a simple surge protector anymore, it makes me wonder about the other APC products.

One of the three APC PRO8 Professional Surge Protectors was OK, and two were defective right from the start - not a good ratio.  And from the nature of the problem, I'm guessing that a lot of others are defective as well.

I took all three apart (they are put together using screws), and here's what I found -
  1)  The contacts were too tight, not aligned with the plug slots, and weren't designed with wider openings at the front.  So when a plug is pushed into a slot that is too far misaligned, the prong jams against the front of the contact, pushes it against the other buss, and causes a short.
  2) The contacts were designed to meet the prong at a 90 degree angle, rather than 180 degrees like the better quality plugs.  This makes them cheaper to manufacture, but prone to the jamming described in #1 above.
  3) The solder points are very poor, with almost no solder on them.  I was able to easily pull one of the wires off it's buss.

After straightening the contacts and resoldering all the solder points, the surge protectors are now working.  But at $20, I'm thinking I shouldn't have had to re-manufacture them to fix what APC got wrong.

I spent 30 mins getting my old Belkin out and putting the new APC in just for it to not work at all. I left this review using my old Belkin to power my pc. What is really sad is that there is a quality check list taped to it all marked "passed". Someone lazy low life was not doing the job they are meant to. I would say who but the signature just has a wavy line..

WORST SUPPORT EVER!!!  I have used NetGear product for years...and it has been a solid product.  Not this time!  This switch was DOA out of the box!  Frustrated..but things happen.  So I go online for support...create an account...and log my unit to get an RMA for return.  I actually received the unit over 30 days ago but had not attempted to install it...so i could not send back to Amazon...my own fault.  I received the confirmation email for my RMA request...all was good right?  NOPE!  The next day I open the RMA email to box up my unit and return it...only to find that the 'RMA number' line was BLANK!  So much for a tech savvy company!  I have now been on hold for over an hour.  I called the support #...sat on hold for 20+ minutes and was then politely told that my call was routed wrong.  Sat on hold for another 20+ minutes...went through all of the confirmation crap again...only to find out that I was talking to the 'WRONG DEPARTMENT' and it was out of her 'SCOPE'!!!  I pleaded with her that all I needed was the RMA #...again...out of her 'SCOPE'.  SO....I AM NOW ON HOLD FOR OVER ANOTHER 20 MINUTES...AND NOTHING.  ALL OF THIS TO JUST GET MY RMA # THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN MY EMAIL TO START WITH.  SHE JUST PICKED UP...AFTER 20 MINUTES...HAVING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES TRANSFERRING MY CALL TO THE APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT...AND SHE PROMISES TO CALL ME BACK.  HEY NETGEAR...NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!

UPDATE:  ANOTHER HOUR ON HOLD and NOTHING!  Where are you NETGEAR?

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!

The unit has a nice appearance and reasonable features, but quality is sorely lacking. On the first day of operation it was clear a problem existed. The refrigerator emitted a very high pitch tone when the compressor is running. A very annoying and fatiguing noise akin to fingernails on a blackboard ! It was evaluated within a few days of delivery by two service organizations and both found the refrigerator to have a defective compressor. In spite of the fact that this is a clear quality defect in factory material and workmanship of a brand new product Frigidaire refuses to replace the unit. They will only replace the defective compressor. I do not want a REFURBISHED product !!! I paid for a new unit and I expect it to work properly. Field repairs are never the same as factory assembly where the proper fixtures, tooling and accessibility to internal components are available. Working with high pressure refrigerant gases, cutting, soldering/welding etc. in my KITCHEN is not acceptable !!! And invariably some form of damage will occur to the unit such as scratches and dents during this field repair process. This is not the way to treat a customer and certainly does not instill brand loyalty. I will never purchase another Frigidaire product again and encourage everyone I know to avoid their products as well. They are not a reputable supplier !!!

I ordered this item directly from New York Bar Bell. You can see some pictures of the rack that I received in the Customer Images.

The quality of my power rack is sub-par. There are metal burrs left behind from when the holes were punched out for the safety bars. Plan on having a metal file on hand to remove these after you spend time to assemble it.... otherwise they will strip the paint right off your safety bars. There are quite a few nicks and scratches to the enamel. With this many scratches out of the box, who knows how long it will be before it is rusted over.

The numbers on the uprights are pretty sloppy. My TDS decals were placed on so crooked I had to remove them. The unit wobbles and rocks on the floor. Definitely not commercial quality.

I did not have any luck getting replacement parts. I emailed NYBB with some pictures and than I called NYBB and spoke with them about my uprights and they said "ship it back, we will refund your money". I asked them if they would just ship  out new uprights.. they said "nope... we can't inspect every package.. just sent it back, we will refund your money".  I guess I'm out the $122 freight it cost to ship it to my house.  Good companies will be glad to send out replacement parts for new items... not TDS!

The assembly directions are pretty bad as well. Part counts don't match what comes in the box. The directions are more of guides... you'll need to figure out how to put it together. If you are not mechanically inclined or have problems with IKEA directions than you won't be able to assemble this yourself.

As a side note, I also ordered a bench from them that came with a rusty foot rest tube. They do not sell used equipment.. this is how it came new!

If you live near their showroom and own a truck, you might have better luck with them. If you have problems, you can just take your equipment back. Otherwise, don't gamble on TDS equipment. The Powerline Power Rack is cheaper and will work just as well. Don't make my mistake of thinking this rack is of "high quality"!

This review is from: BBB Industries 13326 Alternator (Automotive)
Failed at less than one year. I spent 130.00 installing it on July 20 2014 and today July 13 2015 I had to replace it spending another 150.00. It has been not working for the past month but I had been charging my car battery manually daily. The topper is that the manufacturer made up a silly excuse to not honor their warranty because verbatim "BBB Industries does not sell units on Amazon, eba* or any other website. Any transaction made on Amazon will need to be handled with the seller. Thanks, Zac Carson Product Manager  Rotating Electrical .
So they currently sell 4929 products on Amazon from BBB industries that aren't under warranty according to this representative for the company. I went out of my way to find a credible american product and this is the thanks I get. out of 300.00 for no good reason. I recommend the lifetime warranty products at your local automotive store. I asked them and they laughed at my mishap and said we would never have done this to you. Great.

I was lucky enough to purchase this figure from Amazon 3 days before they were discontinued by NECA. It burns me up that a few sour grapes made such a fuss crying racism that we mature serious collectors have to suffer. My Collection will never be completed now. I can't afford to spend the hundreds or thousands of dollars that these private sellers are selling them for. I am an African American man, and am not at all offended by these figures. They were done very tastefully, and seem well made. I am more offended by "mammy" cookie jars than I am these figures. I hope NECA will reintroduce them in the future. I would like to add the rest of the collection to 'Django' and 'Steven'.

This companies quality control is completely unacceptable.  Acurite experienced very serious server problems just before Christmas due to a large number of new customers coming on-line.  All internet connections with the devices shut down.  It was probably 10 days before the IT people mentioned to their customers that they were having problems.  For the next few weeks they occasionally reported that they were still working on t he problem.  Three weeks into it, the president sent out a pathetic email apologizing for the inconvenience.  It has been a month now and the Acu-Link web connection still doesn't work.  No response to any of my emails.  No wonder, their community blog has hundreds of irate customers demanding answers.  Unfortunately I recently added another weather display to my system.  It failed after 10 days.  Trying to get it returned but their website is bogged down with too many angry customers.  So I will have to get in line.
