Looked promising but some issues

These are decent knives but not without issues.  The smaller steak knives on bottom.. they don't line up, they go up and down...I thought it was the slots were uneven but it's the knives themselves...I lined up a few with the handles all in line, but the blades were tilted various angles to the left and right...I'm not OCD but it bothers me, a nice looking knife set now looks strange...for a $100+ knife set, I expected at least straight knives.  Second issue, some of the knives were very sharp out of the box, others were not.  One of the larger top row carving knives would not slice through a grapefruit easily, had to apply some force...knife cut better after using the sharpening rod.

Overall, disappointed in the knife set.

I purchased this on January 1, 2015, and now 3 months later, I am shopping for a replacement. I really wanted to like this. When I got it, I really liked the quality of the construction. Very soon, though, I ran into some real design issues.

The first is that in order to try to keep the glass of the iphone up against the clear plastic (so you can touch the screen), the manufacturer puts a strap around the back of the "slot" so that you have to slide the iphone between that strap and the clear plastic. The problem is that the strap is tight and has some rubber on it to prevent sliding. This makes inserting the phone into the "slot" hard to do. I finally got so frustrated that I just pulled the inside strap off and gave up the option of touching the screen while it was in the holder.

The second issue is that there is a small slit at the bottom that is to allow you to push the plug of your ear buds into the audio port at the bottom of the iphone. For some reason, I had a lot of trouble finding the hole on the phone after pushing through the slit. Again, I got frustrated and just cut out the slit so there was a large hole that made it easy to insert the ear bud jack.

The last issue was that part of the arm strap support started fraying. This was because the plastic rectangle that joins the main strap to the body of the holder will twist if you cinch it down, say like you might do to keep it up on your arm during exercising.

Because of these design flaws, I just cannot recommend this to anyone. Maybe the manufacturer can make adjustments, I don't know.

UPDATED: 5 star support

Well Avantree support was helpful. They contacted me, wanted to know what the problem was, and seemed keen on getting my criticisms at least considered. They shipped me a new unit at absolutely not cost to me. I cannot really think of anything support could have done better - I'd give them 5 stars. So I'm going to raise my rating up to 3 stars. I think this could work for some users; if you are a gym rat though, you'll need something sturdier.

I suggest downloading a sample of this book before buying it to see if the grammatical issues bother you.

I usually overlook some typos and grammar misses in "indie" books, but there were so many problems just in the first few pages it became too distracting to read.  I really wanted to like this book, and had been looking forward to its publication since noticing it in the Kindle Scout program.  Hopefully the author will take another strong pass through his manuscript, correct the errors, and re-post it, because it feels like it has great potential.

It looks nice and I liked the idea that I could vary the speed and combinations available, but I used the included cord to connect and found that it would intermittently disconnect/connect.  I would adjust the dials to vary speed combinations, but after it ran for a while would do this again.  I have decided to send it back for a refund, I really had hoped it would be helpful for a gaming laptop I use a lot, have to keep looking.

I loved the idea of a pocket guide on my iPhone while I travel. Unfortunately this book had quite a few issues/bugs:
- There were a few pages I would stick stuck on (the page would switch). I had to work around the issue by going to another page and coming back

- The kindle UI at the bottom of the screen blocks links on the page so you can't tap them. I had to change the orientation of the phone as a work around

- Since the guide is electronic you benefit from live links that go to maps and other parts of the book. I couldn't figure out how to go back once I clicked a link, I could only turn the page, so I found myself constantly going back to the table of contents to get back to a point

- As for the quality of the information, I think the overall itineraries are good, but good luck following them. I traveled with a native mandarin speaker and the lack of detail in this book on how to get to various places was frustrating. We had to suplement the book a lot using our data plan with Google maps. The maps were mostly a tease because they weren't helpful and lacked enough detail to find a place.

I received this in the mail today and really wanted to like it.  The concept is good but there are some flaws that are making me return it.  First off, the plastic edges along the sides are sharp making it difficult and uncomfortable to hold.  Secondly, the kickstand is a bit flimsy and unfortunately opens freely making it difficult to maneuver when you want it closed (such as to store quickly).

This is a nice looking switch. I love the idea. Controlling the speed of a fan and the dimness of lights with a single gang professional looking switch sounds fantastic.

But, realistically:

My first switch glitched when I had my LED can lights at full brightness. They would not switch off, and they would not dim. I would have to pull the lever to reset the switch every time I bumped them up to full brightness. Then a week later my fan switch didn't work at all. My girlfriend (who obviously doesn't know me well enough) questioned my wiring. I then requested a replacement through Amazon (great service). Two days later I replaced the switch first and experienced the same problems. Then I replaced the receiver. So much for thinking I was done climbing in the attic. Still the same problem with the lights on full power.

Conclusion:

I used this switch for a fan w/o lights and 4 LED can lights all wired to the receiver. The manufacturer claims to be able to control this setup. It didn't do it well for me. At least not at full power.
It's not bad enough to replace though. Luckily the lighting is bright enough without needing to be dialed all the way up.

I really wanted this to work, however there were two different categories of problems.

The first is there are a few design flaws that make it cumbersome to use. Simply put it will not record continuously as advertised unless the SD card has unrecorded memory available, which is impossible because the SD card will fill up in a short time and at that point it stops recording and the only way to determine if it has stopped recording is if you watch the record light. If you want to record in increments, the choices being 1, 3, or 5 minutes, then it will write over the beginning of the SD card using this method, which is not quite continuous recording. Note that the manual, although is using English, is difficult to understand and some of the features of the camera are not addressed.

The other problem with the camera that I received was there were operational problems or defects. It had a clicking sound when recording and that was heard upon playback of the recording. Also, it would shut off intermittently with the rear camera plugged in and start the recording mode. It would sometimes work for a few seconds or longer, but would shut off.

I was really hoping that this would work because it has most of the features that I was looking for in a unit. If the above problems were remedied then this would be a good unit, however given all of the problems, I returned it.

Let me start by saying that I wanted to love the CODE keyboard. The idea of a keyboard designed by a programmer, for programmers, seemed promising. Unfortunately, this keyboard has a few fatal flaws. The first of these is that the larger keys, like Backspace and Enter, tend to squeak. It doesn't happen with every key press, but it was enough to annoy me. I also noticed a strange resonance with every key press. It was most noticeable at night when everything else was quiet, but again, it was enough to annoy me. Finally, I felt a little disappointed by the MX Clears, which didn't live up to my expectations.

Ultimately, I ended returning the CODE keyboard and purchasing a Das Keyboard 4. I'm very happy with that decision because the Das is what I was hoping for all along. Most importantly, it doesn't suffer from any of the issues I mentioned above and is, in my opinion, an upgrade over the CODE.

Neat idea, still a lot of bugs they are continuing to work on. Maybe 1-2 versions down the road I'll actually keep one. But for now it wasn't reliably capturing my information every night and thus I returned it.

The concept was nice but I just couldn't get it to function as it was suppose to, nor could I seem to find all that much help using online support.

Nice looking cabinet but I ran into several issues.
1) First shipment, the base panel was missing. I contacted the 3rd party vendor and my questions were answered but never resolved my problem.
They gave me credit for my trouble, which was nice.
I decided to other another unit from another vendor which came as promised.
Some of the panels from the previous shipment were scratched so I replaced those from the new shipment and assembled the cabinet.

2) During assembly, I found the instruction to be decent at the beginning but it went downhill after the first few pages.
It seems it was written by 2 individuals or the person who wrote it just got tired towards the end.
No clear explanation on the hinges/door installation and the drawer/slider.
Having a black and white picture isn't enough for the drawer/slider install. You must tell us which way the slider will be installed.
Same issue with the hinges. They needed to be installed prior to installing the door, yet the hinges aren't mentioned until you need to attach the door.

Overall, I give it 3 stars due to appearance and price but I have to knock off 2 stars due to reasons stated above.

I really WANT to like this keyboard. It looks fantastic and I love the ability to connect to multiple devices, but I've had two and both have had problems. Support drags on forever before offering a replacement which leaves me with a nice looking paper weight. First one had a bad space bar which would not function unless mashed squarely in the middle. Second one had the R key pop off while typing. In addition, although not Logitech's fault, the new bluetooth protocol does not work with one of my older laptops so I have to use the supplied dongle which was what I was trying to avoid by buying this model. Logitech gets one more chance before I continue my search for a quality keyboard.

I bought this really looking forward to it. When I unboxed it, everything looked great. I plugged it in and downloaded the required apps. The first thing I noticed was the unit would not charge my phone. The first night I set the phone alarm but the fidelio app kept loosing bluetooth connection even though the phone was on top of it. Needless to say, since the phone lost connection numerous times, the alarm function did not work in the morning. It was a good thing I had the system alarm as a backup. The second night I tried it again. I kept loosing bluetooth again and it would beep twice each time it happened. It got so annoying that it was keeping me awake. I finally unplugged it and decided to return it.

I wanted to love this, I really did. I have MS and track my steps and activity daily to be aware of my danger zones. Had it for about 2 weeks but had to return it. Main problems: Touch screen was non-responsive often. It would constantly go into sleep mode simply from my movement. Battery charge would not hold more then 2 days. Also, the wrist band would not hold and the device would end up falling. I was in a constant concern that I was going to lose this device.
  The good aspect was that it synced to my iPhone app like a champ. No issues there. It also did a great job with accurate step tracking when it worked.
  Perhaps I received a defective unit.

I like really wanted to like this product.  Had high hopes for it.

This item was difficult to connect the power and speaker cables.  The display is slightly crooked.  There sounds like power spikes or static blups in the audio - not clean.  The Bluetooth connection is below average range of other BT devices I've tried in the past.  Also this is my second unit from Amazon.  1st one exchanged due to cosmetic and electronic defects.  But the second one sucks also.  Too bad I was too busy to connect and test it within the 30 day return period.

Plye has a warrantee, but they charge you something like $30 to return and repair the unit.  Boooo

I had High hopes for this but sadly it did not pan out.  The ear buds would not stay put and the Bluetooth connection frequently cut out.
