Not getting my Rebate
927425
I purchased this monitor within the rebate expiration day then filed the rebate online at Asus rebate website (asus. 4myrebate.com.).  i even got an email confirmation regarding my tracking # for this particular rebate.  I was waiting on this rebate through mail but had never received anything, so i called today regarding at the rebate center try to speak to the representative regarding the rebate status.  now they told me i wasn't filed the rebate on time so I'm very pissed about this scams.

I purchased this modem from Amazon because Motorola is currently offering a mail-in rebate through selected retailers.  After I submitted the rebate form, Motorola decline the rebate saying "The UPC symbol or proof-of-purchase tab you submitted is not valid for this promotion".  I ordered the exact model number specified on the rebate form.  How was I supposed to know what UPC code Amazon was going to ship me?

Here is the quote from the rebate form - "This offer is valid only on the purchase of a Motorola SURFboard Model SB5101 between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008, purchased at Fry's Electronics, CompUSA, Office Depot, Radio Shack or Amazon.com."

Unable to download and a few days ago requested reimbursement. Still waiting for reply.
Think I need to call BestBuy's Geek Squad to visit and clean up computer and download.

Just don't have the smarts to do it myself.

Moust works too.

The product is great and works as advertised. The value is the reason I gave it two stars.. Bought the item because of the rebate.  I sent in offer 17-96099 and was denied. The rebate is for purchases 15 Jan to 25 Feb 2017 and I bought the item on 17 Jan 2017. After sending e-mails and chatting with the rebate customer service they kept telling me the rebate ended 31 Dec 2016! Somehow they are confused - the form clearly states it is for 2017. After finding out I had paid $10 more than expected (since rebate is not being honored) I'm a bit upset for not having any recourse - all-in-all it is a good switch and still worth the original price.  Would have been a great value if it was $10 less.

I got a rebate card with limited amount of money in it.  It is hard to use it except in Walmart.  Amazone provided me a nice way to switch it to Amazon gift card, which I need anyway.

Was offered a rebate if I reviewed the camera which I believe is against Amazon policy. I figured I'd give it a try anyway. The camera doesn't work well with my setup and never got the rebate.

Item was fine with fast shipping and great packaging. It's the 10 dollar rebate I have issues with, after going through numerous operations unlike any other rebate I have done, I come to find out it's only available if I SIGN UP FOR A CREDIT CARD which I DON'T WANT. Not good business

Have used the router for about six months and working great! However, bought the router primarily due to the C$60 rebate which I have still not received. The rebate centre indicated that it was sent out 10 weeks ago, but I called them several times now and they keep having different excuses about the delay. Looks like they are giving me the run around and I have doubts whether they will honour the rebate. They have indicated that Netgear is no longer in business and I was wondering if anyone is aware that this is the case.

Haven't had it long, so I only gave it the 4 stars.  From all of my friends that have one and love it, I'm sure after I have used it several times, I'll love it too - thus deserving 5 stars.  I'm looking forward to making bread and pizza dough in it!

UPDATE: 1-25-15  I reduced the rating because of the rebate dishonesty, not because of product performance.  When I purchased this item, there was a $50 rebate.  Yesterday, I received a postcard from KitchenAid stating that my purchase wasn't from a qualified retailer, Amazon, to receive the rebate.  EVEN though it was not stated ANYWHERE that the purchase from Amazon would not qualify for the rebate.  ALSO, there was even a link to the rebate form on the Amazon page to purchase, giving the impression that it was a valid rebate.  I noticed there is another rebate currently being offered.  BUYER BEWARE!!! Don't let this rebate influence your purchase, because it may or may not qualify either!! TICKED!!!

Purchased this product because of the offer with the rebate seemed great. When preparing the product for rebate found that the barcode was different on the box than what was printed on the form. So called in to confirm if this was the right product or if i should return/exchange it and the lady on the phone (Ms. Ebony) guaranteed me that though it was different it was the same product so i shouldn't have a problem with submitting the rebate and receiving my money.

3 wks later they deny the claim, after asking to speak with Ms. Ebony, i was denied access speaking to her, and no-one there was understanding or caring enough to realize that now i'm stuck with the drive, i can't return because one of their representatives made the mistake of telling me the offer included my product, and they even have that in the notes under my rebate claim.

Stay away from ASUS rebates. The drive itself, is third tier as well in comparison to the Samsung i've replaced it with since.

Review of actual product

Portability
1) partially. The stand and the drive look nice on the desk but are only useful if you're using with a desktop, in which case you would be the wiser to just get an internal anyways. Using it with a laptop and taking up two USB ports means that your laptop essentially becomes a table top that can't even be shifted around cause the drive has no actual support and will tip over repeatedly.

2) Lead time, on paper it says that the lead time to load is faster than the SE-506BB drive from samsung (which is not only a reader but a BD writer as well). In actuality it quite slow and sometimes required unplugging and replugging to get the device to recognize.

Speed.
- nowhere near the advertised read/write speeds. i would get 2-4x BD read speeds, 5x write DVD's the only thing that worked as advertised were 24x write to CD's. It doesn't write BD so i can't even compare that. The only performance boost the ASUS had over the Samsung was while ripping DB disks. The Asus did manage to get up to 6x at times (maybe 20-30% of the rip) while that samsung went to 2.4x and just sat there consistant throughout. It made the ASUS rip the BD about 14min faster over all (48min vs. 1hr2min), but faster isn't always better especially when its taking up both USB's for that long vs the samsung using just one.

Sound
- MUCH louder. While trying to play a blu-ray in bed on my macbook retina i could hear the BD going crazy and vibrating consistently. it would stop for a few seconds and then go right back up. Completely destroyed the movie experience and had to go more than half up on the retina's volume (which is quite loud). Comparatively SE-506BB is not even noticeable. I had to literally pick up the drive and put an ear to it just to see if it was spinning or not. The only time se-506 became a little noticeable on spin was burning a CD at 24x. You don't wanna know what the ASUS does during that same write speed.

Overall

- Don't waste your time with ASUS. The SE-506 is only a few dollars more and gives you MUCH better quality, not as visually appealing, but the cheap ASUS plastic is not going to look nice and last long either way. The SE-506BB is much more reliable, durable, quite and the most important thing is it doesn't hog both your USB ports and will run off a single port.

ONE stars cause it reads and write to BD's and seems to be good with all companies of BD. ONE star for looking like a nice decoration piece.
