UPDATE 2 - Customer service counts for a LOT
923364
UPDATE 2 - So I called 3M's customer care line for the privacy filter and described the problem.  It seems that the mounting system had been developed to hold the filters on screens surrounded by bezels.  Now that more manufactures are building screens w/out bezels, the mounting system is being changed. 3M set me a preliminary version of the new mounting kit (very transparent double sided tape) and it is working very well. Go ahead and buy the filter and if you need to (depending on your screen design) call 3M and ask for the new mounting system. I think it will be worth the small wait.

UPDATE - The mounting system/tabs that I was unhappy with have proven to be a major pain.  The privacy screen keeps falling off the monitor.  It looks like I am going to have to take some electricians tape (a 3M product! Ha!) and tape the screen in place.  But I am going to try the 3M service line and see what they can do for me first.  Wish me luck.

ORIGINAL COMMENT - I bought the 3M Privacy Filter in an attempt to reduce the glare on my laptop screen.  This it does quite well and is a LOT less expensive than blackout curtains for my home office.  The 17.3 size is a perfect fit for my screen (NOTE: the tolerances are tight meaning that it needs to be carefully fitted to cover the entire screen).

However, The mounting system need to be rethought.  While the stick-on tabs are unobtrusive, they are hard to apply, come loose, and don't always hold the Filter in place.  The upside is that 3M sends you a bunch of them.

The packaging is sturdy and the filter is unlikely to get damaged unless someone folds the package in half.  The mounting tabs are not very noticeable, so look carefully for them.

PROS:
Good fit
Reduces glare
Sturdy packaging

Cons:
stick-on mounting tabs - the new mounting tape is far superior, at least on my screen
Tabs hard to find in package

EDIT: After 1 month and 2 attempts to get a hold of Ronnie Tech's customer service department, I still have not heard a word from the company. Amazon has even emailed me saying that their email contact is not valid and they have not received my request. THANKS BUT NO THANKS RONNIE TECH!!!

This awesome charger holds about 5-6 charges for my iPhone 7! I've taken really good care of it for the 3 months I've have it--no scratches or dents.

However, despite my care for the device one of the USB ports broke and fell back deep into the battery pack. As a result I have one less charging port and a shaking noise every time I carry it around with me. I hope someone at customer service is able to solve my issue as I have heard that they are great at responding. Thank you for a (previously) great charger!

My concern/bitch is with customer support.  I called and was told that my call is next to be answered by the next available technical support person.  Then immediately I heard another voice say that they were experiencing a huge number of calls and my call would be handled next, but if I wanted to leave a message, someone would contact me shortly.  It boiled down to their definition of "shortly".  Call was never returned and I got tired of waiting for their contact. I am returning this mouse tomorrow.  By the way, there were no batteries with it.

UPDATE 9/2/14: I originally gave this product five stars for easy of use and value, but I'm now reducing that rating to three stars.  However, after three months of use, the NVR (the "computer") died on me.  No power at all. So I emailed Zmodo on 8/18 to request a repair or replacement. Two days later, I still didn't have an RMA to return it, so I emailed them again. It took another two days to finally get an RMA.  I shipped the dead NVR out immediately.  Today, I tracked the shipment, and it was delivered on 8/28, so they've had it for six days.  I haven't heard anything from them, so I emailed support a couple of hours ago--still no reply. So I just now tried calling and there are "27 callers ahead" of me with an estimated wait time of 50 minutes!  It's extremely frustrating to go weeks without my cameras, which I rely on for monitoring my backyard chickens, my pets, and for outside security.  If you are considering purchasing Zmodo cameras for critical applications, I don't think I could recommend it.  Lowering rating to two stars.

UPDATE 9/3/14: Got an automated email from Zmodo today that said "We received your returned merchandise today. Our RMA technicians will test your items as soon as possible. All items are tested in the order that they are received."  Except that the FedEx tracking site shows that it was delivered on 8/28, 7 days ago. This company just doesn't get it.  Dropping the review from two stars to one star. Look elsewhere for a PoE Network Camera system, my friend.

ORIGINAL REVIEW (five stars):
Easy to install. The hardest part is dragging cable through your attic and drilling, but that's necessary for any wired system. I did it myself in about half a day.  Once the cables were installed, it's really ply-and-play. I love the operating system. It's basically a dedicated computer (with it's own mouse)--you'll need to add a cheap monitor.  While we were on vacation, all four cameras ran perfectly for ten days. Loved being ably to check on the dogs, the chickens, and the house sitter!  The iPhone and  iPad apps were so easy to install and use. Simply download and type in your UN and PW.

Updated review (Nov 2016):

Things have improved substantially with my Ring Pro. It hasn't gone down in months--it's been rock solid. It comes back up on its own after power failures and wifi interruptions. I'm updating my review to 4 stars. Recommended.

Original review:
Ive put off writing this review to see if the issues Ive had with the Ring Doorbell Pro would get resolved over time. Ive also hesitated because it is really a nice little unit with a small footprint compared to other video doorbells. Unfortunately, the issues have not been resolved and the unit frequently ceases to function.

Since installation about a month ago, Ive had recurring issues with the doorbell not sending alerts and/or live view not working. This happens at least a few times a week. Id estimate the doorbell isn't functioning about 15% of the time. Ive called, e-mailed and had live chat with tech support more times than I can count. Theyve had me reset it, go through setup again, just wait for a firmware update, do modem speed tests, etc. Its almost impossible to get a straight answer on what the problem is. They frequently point to my modem as the potential issue, but I don't have any issues with any of my other wifi connected devices. The fact that numerous others here have had similar problems tells me its probably not my wifi network. I'm also very surprised that the app gives you no diagnostic information when things go wrong. You're left clueless as to what's up.

As a security device, its really inexcusable for it to go down as much as it does. It went dark while I was away for a weekend recently. Just the use case its designed for!

It pains me to say it, but this device just isn't ready for prime time. Wait until they get the bugs out (which is hopefully soon).

UPDATE: Now 1 day later working on 3 devices I wanted to protect, and heard from customer service this morning. Scans fast, so I'm very satisfied now!

I bought coverage for 5 devices, 1 year. Installation went fine with my first laptop, however required keycode wouldn't work on my second laptop. I emailed customer service with this simple problem, but have yet to hear back from them. Paid for 5, works on 1. I'll update as things progress.

At long last, spoke to someone in customer service.  they had me ship motor and main housing to them at my expense.  a couple weeks later, i received a brand new, complete 51609.  i didn't have original receipt, but they could tell unit was under 2 years old by serial number.  So, while it is too hard to reach them, and while the unit isn't built for repair or long life, they do stand behind it

Original review:  I have the prior model, model #51599.  The variable speed control started to go bad after a year and a half.  Then, it died altogether.  I went online to see about buying a replacement controller.  While their order form showed lots of plastic parts, etc., appears you can't buy the speed control.  I went online to contact Toro Customer Service.  Within a day of submitting my inquiry, I got an email response advising they were busy, but would get back to me within 48 hours.  Despite me sending reminder notices citing my case number, I have yet to receive a response 8 days later.  (And, yes, I checked my spam folder.)  So, I tried calling.  My first attempt was answered by the VRU.  Then, dropped after about 5 minutes.  After calling a second time, the VRU indicated that my response time would be about 2 minutes.  At the 28 minute mark, a real live person spoke.  Within 30 seconds, this call was dropped.  My third call has now been on hold for 18 minutes.

By the way, this blower has not been heavily used, abused, or left outdoors in the weather.

No more Toro products for me ever, ever, ever, ever.

While on hold, I'm been 'treated' to 'My Sharona', Madonna songs from when she was popular, The Pretenders, Lional Richie.  I'm guessing their customer service desk timeliness roughly matches their on-hold-music timeliness.

It is so comforting to have been assured about 7,000 times by now that 'Your call is important to us.  Someone will be with you shortly.'  Looks like a good company to short.  Think I'll call my broker.

I bought this over the holidays in anticipation of a trip aboard in the spring.  Well here we are the night before the trip and both this one AND a smaller Anker product will not charge! The smaller input (micro usb) is loose on BOTH of these products and the blue led lights will not stay on blinking (and yes, I did google to see if it was supposed to stay on blinking as it's charging or not)...I keep fiddling with them and the lights will flicker on, but then nothing. I've tried several chargers and plugs around the house to make sure. I can't believe I have two faulty connections on both of these things that I own and bought at the same time!!  I've only used each of these to charge my phone once!

Update: Anker CS did reach out to me and was prompt about send me a replacement as long as I had proof I bought it (which I did).  They asked for my serial number and said mine was a known issue.  I got my replacement very quickly, and they follow up shortly thereafter to check and see if their customers are happy (and probably hope they'll change the review).

I waited a little while to change mine as I wanted to live with the product.  It is working fine, and I'm happy with it now.  I'm updating for 4 stars.

UPDATED on September 9, 2016

 The following is a detailed excerpt from an email exchange with customer service. It fully describes my  experience with my tablet:

Since receiving my Kindle in May, it has consistently had the following problems: not uploading to the Cloud Drive, despite ample free space and daily attempts; shutting down and restarting multiple times in a row on its own; speakers clicking and screeching during media playback, after video froze; screen dimming after five minutes during video playback, then brightening again, multiple times; Blue Shade staying on past set daily time; Blue Shade and Do Not Disturb turning themselves on without me selecting them, then coming back on after I turned them of again, multiple times; Silk Browser window truncated on left side, causing me to be unable to read entire article; Silk Browser altering my search engine settings; battery charge after nine hours of charging varying daily from 100%, to 80%, to 31%, to 23%, and back up again, despite multiple hard resets (suggested by Customer Service representative); lock screen rotates to vertical position when screen brought out of sleep in horizontal position; battery twice drained from 100% to completely dead in three hours of reading. As I began experiencing these problems since the week after I received and began using my brand-new Kindle, I do not feel that I have received my money's worth out of my purchase. I would very much appreciate a solution that takes into account the price I paid versus the quality of my experience.

In addition to what I have detailed above, this morning, September 9, my Kindle would not turn on. I attempted normal activation twice, and when that did not work, I unplugged and plugged in the charger. My Kindle did not turn on. I called Customer Service for help, and, while waiting, attempted a hard reset, which worked.

Though the problems I originally reported to Customer Service began 2  months after ownership, your response motivated me to think about and list all of the issues I have experienced, since the first week after receiving my Kindle. You helped me realize that all of these bugs were actually symptomatic of a much larger problem.

I understand that you very strongly stand behind your products, both new and refurbished. I paid $399.99 for a brand-new tablet, and received one full weeks worth of excellent quality, followed by a few months worth of frustration. I attempted many ways to solve what appeared to be minor problems, only to realize in the end, that I have a defective tablet.

I have done hard resets, I have uninstalled and reinstalled apps, I have called Customer Service. I have done everything that Tech Support would have me do in order to use my tablet properly. All of these measures have failed, culminating in an inability to use my tablet comfortably and smoothly.

I am requesting a fix that I do believe you are able to provide. Please give me an experience that takes into account the amount of money I paid, as well as the effort I have put in to using my Kindle."

ORIGINAL REVIEW
This Kindle has a nice, large screen size and very loud speakers. Unfortunately, after only three months of use, my brand-new Kindle is having charging problems. After nine hours of charge per night, it was charging to only 80% over a two-week period. This morning, after charging for nine hours, it only charged to 31%. I am receiving a free replacement via a refurbished Kindle. That does not seem correct. It seems that my Kindle should last longer than three months. If it does not, it seems that it should be replaced with a brand-new one. I am surprised and disappointed with this decision.

Helping a lot so far...great company to deal with!

I bought a magic jack about two weeks ago. The quality is spotty. Sound to other person fades in and out. But most importantly, I had to speak with three different customer service agents (online, of course) ...  and I got three different answers to a support problem. When I finally got someone on a higher tier, he said that I had been given incorrect information by one of their customer service reps (they work from their homes), and that the company would not stand behind the problem resolution offered by their own employees. We're talking $20 here, but even their higher tier support people don't have the authority, or the business sense, to back up their own employees. I was told that the "offending employee would be sanctioned", but that the company would not stand behind the solution that was proposed to fix my problem. I think they just don't care what the customer thinks/experiences once they've made the sale. It was like talking to a rock. Their "customer service" is an oxymoron. No wonder American businesses are having a hard time competing in the marketplace, if they don't back up their own words with actions. $20 is worth more than customer satisfaction. I'm glad I saved the transcripts of the service reps "chats", where they acknowledge their own mistakes, but refuse to "do the right thing" with the customer.

Oh yes ... if their product fails, they offer a "free" replacement ... for which they charge about $10.50 for processing. The ultimate insult.

I write and edit for a living. While chatting with their so-called higher-level customer service representatives (Ermin and Rosey), I pointed out that I even discovered a typo on their website ... as I do on most web sites. He asked me where it was; as if they expect me to give them my expertise for free, while they rip me off with charges for a "free replacement." Get real.

Updated review: I had problem with the first unit as it worked for only two days and the trigger was unpredictable.

After my initial review, Steve from customer support dent me an email stating they will do all necessary to make sure I am satisfied with the product.

And indeed, they did: they sent me a replacement with the battery installed, and so far so good - I am happy.

Based on this experience with the vendor and the product, I did update my review.
Although my initial experience with the product did not meet my expectations, the customer support responsiveness and proactive approach made the experience unbelievable in a positive way.

Thank you for taking care of this matter.

Just to update on the customer service or rather nonexistent customer service and the product. The coffee machine and the coffee product has performed great. Just for information we are close to a Target store and that company carries a very good selection and at reasonable prices.
Now for the customer service all I can say is don't rely on service from this company(Tassimo) It is too bad and with regret that I write this as I have never experienced such a total lack of regard for the customer here. I guess since the machine in made in Salvenia that is how the customer service is run, or not run.
I would be really happy to hear how you have encountered help in registering  your coffee maker at their site?

We purchased the Tassimo 45 system after several hours and a couple of days research and felt that this would be right for us.
This family is husband and wife, early 70's and really coffee drinkers. Both husband and wife enjoy coffee and do frequent Starbucks several times a week. So this seemed to make some sense for us to try the coffee.
We have had the machine several days and can happily report that the machine lives up to the name and ads.
HOWEVER< we wanted to register the machine and take advantage of the free coffee so went on line to do this last step. Oh my, what a mess. lets just cut to the bottom line and say that we couldn't handle this simple step on line, so call customer service to request their help to complete the registration. After several attempts of not working the representative politely said that they would refer the matter to another department, technical services I believe they said. No word came after 48 hours so I called again, this time I was told that the web site is not able to handle the registration of US buyers as the company is updating the site. They expect the site to be down for updating for 2-3 weeks !!!! This is terrible in itself however there is not a mention of this on the web site and it took me several phone calls, two emails etc to learn finally (I guess) why they can't complete this simple chore and it will be 2-3 week before they can do the job.
Come on guys, this is not the 1800's. A very poor job of communicating facts as I know them to your customers.

An F grade for customerA service concerns.
An B+ grade for the product.

You decide what is important to you.

There were a couple of gliches with my order but they were very accommodating.  It's nice to know that customer service still exists!

UPDATE: after writing the below, the company reached out, and supplied me with a replacement unit--one that is actually a tad better, in terms of sturdiness.  Very happy with the speed with which they did so, so changing my rating.  I always like a company that stands behind their products.

The on/off button is a bit tricky--takes some learning/testing.  I HATE that you always have to convert the number pad whenever you turn it on, to use it.  That's disappointing.
