Worked fine for several years (2012 purchase) and started going haywire this year, alternately turning water on and off continuously until I reset the unit. Likely a fixable problem, but e-mail support was slow (1 week response time) and could not resolve the issue, just asked for unit serial number. Finally just retired the unit and installed an Orbit timer with a hard-wired rain sensor.

Worked well for about a year but am now having frequently wireless disconnections.  Called Brother, who made some adjustments to WLAN settings, but still having problems.  Will likely discard and purchase an HP or Epson.

I bought this unit in 2008, and it worked fine for several years. However, starting last year, the control of the unit failed. It first would turn itself on automatically. When I turned it off, it would turn on automatically after a period of time. When I ignored the issue and played the CD's, it functioned erratically. It would automatically pause, or skip tracks or simply stopped. I searched online and found numerous people were having the same issue. The Onkyo tech support did not offer any solutions other than the typical "unplug the unit then plug in after 15 seconds" (which didn't work). Besides that, it just told the customers who reported the problem to send the unit to the nearest repair center for "further evaluation". I stopped using this unit after I tried the "unplug then plug in" method a number of times. Yesterday, I tried the unit again and plugged in after it's been unplugged for a few months. The problem has worsened. Now the unit would not respond to any buttons after it turned on. I had to unplug it in order to shut it off. I have to recognize the reality that the unit was dead.

Worked like a charm for three years then boom!  Stopped working without warning.  I run a tax business so imagine my shock when I roll into my office and everything you have in your office doesn't.  The unit might as well be a rock at the bottom of a river at this point, no sign of life at all.  It worked well while it lasted but certainly didn't last as long as you'd expect something like this to last.

Got this card on October 2011 to go with my 2008 Compaq Desktop PC and used it on my HP Desktop I've gotten a year later
When the card worked very good, it was fast and reliable.

Then around December 2014, and February of this year and around April 8 of this year, the card started giving me black screens briefly when I load something new up and finally today, the 4th black screen generated made my PC rebooted.

So yea, it was good while it lasted
It ran the 2013 Rise of the Triad very well and Crysis 1 runs good on it.
Though the 2013 remake of Shadow Warrior ran very laggy in 1080p even at High settings

UPDATE 10/1/2015
A few days after the issues came, I managed to eliminate them by reseating the video card so it still works.
Though it still falls behind current video cards you can get today (Still this was a fun budget card back in 2011 that gave performance that was similar to what the highest end cards of 2007 gave)

I've had this surge protector for at least 5 years at this point. I originally purchased it from Circuit City (before they went out of business). It's lasted and done its job throughout multiple moves, countless plugging and unplugging, and years of constant usage. It's saved my devices from numerous power outages, etc.

Just recently though, it stopped working. It was very obvious when it happened as all of my electronics just died and the device now makes a constant high-pitched beep/buzz while it's plugged in. It felt very hot (probably died because it overheated). I'm not sure if it's because I had a small A/C window unit plugged into it or not (it had been for many months).

Either way, the Monster Cable device is now unusable -- so I called the company and they'll be sending me a replacement for free once I send the dead one back. Free of charge...even without my receipt. Trustworthy brand for a good quality device.

Worked well, but became erratic and eventually died after less than one year.  Opened and found the connections between PC boards had broken.

I bought one of these in 2009 and it just died.  It worked quite well until it didn't.
Back then it was $60 -- not the $175-200 everyone is trying to get out of you now.
Apparently the power supply board failing is the typical failure mode for this device and there's info on the web about DIY repair -- so I'm givin' that a try before I replace this.

Worked fine for 11 months then stopped working, would no longer power on. Was pretty good while it worked, I like when network attached devices have a web server & application for managing the device. Worked well with WMC (my favorite option because most features just work), ps3/4, desktop & mobile app, NextPVR (pulling EPG data is annoying, which is why I prefer WMC), etc... The device was still under warranty and SiliconDust support cross-shipped me a new unit once I provided proof of tracking to them. They refused to cover the shipping for the defective unit which annoyed me. A device with that price tag should not just stop working all of the sudden, and when it does SiliconDust should take care of the logistics. Hopefully the replacement will last.

Worked well for several months without an issue.  Now the WLAN connection will periodically just die a couple times a day, while LAN connections keep going.

Have tried several setting changes, and a factory restore and the problem is still happening.  Will probably move to another brand of router since lots of people seem to have this same trouble.

When working, it works just fine.  After 9 months, the power supply started failing.  RMA'd it.  Took some back and forth emailing to get a new unit.  Worked for another  year.  Now it's going out again.  Same thing.  HDDs dismount and remount.  30 seconds to 2 minutes in between.  If not paying attention, this will kill a drive (as it did the first time around).  I would not put my data at risk with this enclosure.

At this point my unit is 10 months out of warranty and can't be RMAd.  Since they seem to have not fixed the issue with their power supplies (and used the same ones when fixing my unit), I really don't want to have to RMA a product every 10 months (or risk my HDDs failing due to a constant mount-dismount).  I had to pay for shipping back for my RMA.

My RAID unit is on 24/7.  Connected with (4) drives.  RAID is JBOD.  All drives seen as separate drives.

Stopped working after 2 yrs. Hardware unit failure. Have to toss it - money down the drain. Arrogant customer support who insisted 2-3 years is a long time and is this is no big deal

Worked fine for about a year, then the voice related functions stopped working.

Purchased originally in 2012. Used it about once a year for the first few years which worked fine, e.g. the hex wrench part. Then from 2015 through 2017, I did not use it since chainsaw was broken. Finally fixed it earlier in 2018 and used the scrench a few more times due to heavy tree pruning this spring. By the third use this year, the wrench section was worn out and would not grip the hex nut to the chainsaw bar. It only lasted through six uses over its entire lifetime. It was convenient since I stored it in the chainsaw case. Now I have to pull out my trusty Craftsman socket wrench set to do the job instead.

It worked fine for about a year, then suddenly stopped working as soon as it was out of warranty.

I bought two of these consecutively, and each lasted exactly one year operating 24/7 before failing... I mean exactly.  Almost as if it was a designed obsolesence at the end of the warranty period.  When it worked, it operated fine and with no problems.  I think now it was a bit too much to spend on something that lasted so shortly.  I replaced my last one with a slightly less expensive Linksys model, and we'll see how that holds up.

I purchased this computer in 2007 and it has done a pretty good job. The battery has endurance: it still holds a two and a half hour charge. It gets the job done with some bonus features without breaking the bank. If you just need to do basic tasks, this is the computer for you. If you want power, look elsewhere.

UPDATE: On the three year anniversary of purchase, the hardware has almost given out. It now makes noises at start-up for no reason and the CD drive seldom works any more (and when it does, it can rip maybe one CD before it ceases to work again.
