I just received these in the mail and put them to use yesterday. So far I have three that are working and two that cracked the plastic. Any solution

I also had a cracked plastic top but it occurred from me trying to jam it on over something...my fault. I tried to seal it up and then tried to tape it but with no luck. I threw that one away.

I would check with Amazon to see what their return policy is or call the manufacture. If you don't want to do that try taping them to see if that works, good luck

Sorry to say I did not have much luck with them. I found that if I put the water on the ground next to the pot it would draw up the water. I resorted to the orange plastic tips that screw onto plastic bottle. You just poke them in the dirt next to the plant and the soil does the rest. They worked well for a 1 week vacation. Also found on Amazon on prime.

You didn't mention how the cracks occurred. Since three are working, I suggest you seek replacements for two that broke. It's not worth the effort to attempt a repair.

I also had a couple crack. Very disappointing. It is a great idea but not a quality product.

When you composed the portion of you sentence "and two that cracked the plastic" it is telling that probe(s) itself somehow became animated and broke itself. It is a poorly constructed sentence so I can only assume you received two broken or non functioning probes. If I am correct I would suggest you go to the bottom of the Amazon.com page and click on "Returns & Replacements". Don't waste you time trying to fix them.........

Hello Christine,It sounds like you have something that is cracked or damaged. I would call Amazon and request a replacement. I hope this helps.Dwight

Sorry that I can't help. I passed these on as a gift. You should contact the seller. I think they will replace them for you.

I sughest sending it back to amazon. my daughter cracked hers as well, but the shipping and replacement cost isn't worth the hassle.

Had that happen to me within about 2 months, luckily none of the plastic chips completely broke out, just some minor cracking, so my suggestion to anybody who buys these, do what i did and wrap some nice matte electric tape around the joint tightly, i say matte because it doesnt look that bad, and 2 years later it still works just as well as the day i bought, no mechanical failures from that piece again, but then again, i do take care of it to a certain degree (no slammin on the desk top cause you got killed 8 times in a row by the SAME KID)

I had the same problem, I bought 2 of them at the same time. Needless to say both broke before my kids was able to use them. There in the trash can now.

You should contact the company you bought them from. I think you should be able to get a free replacement. I bought 3 of these and none of the kids are having trouble with them. They love them.

I had the similar problem with mine, the plastic no2 attachment broke. I called the manufacture and they sent out a replacement set. I'd try calling them and see if they can mail you a replacement part. Good luck!

Same thing Happened to me. I even went so far as to send back and got another. But, this didn't resolve the issue because the second one did the same thing. Only way I have gotten them to work is puncture really fast. Its a poor design. Good luck

I'm sure your insurance company or first alert could help you with that problem. Did you contact first alert to see if the plastic is resistance to fire?

Haven't had that problem. Have you tried super-glue or maybe an adhesive for plastic. How about contacting the manufacturer if you don't want to mess up the back if the glue doesn't work.

I had a couple break on me too. I contacted the company from the manual. They needed to see an image so I took a photo and sent them an e-mail with the information. I received replacements in the mail a few days later after communicated with me on the issue. I'd make sure to list how many are broken. I got one more than needed so I kept it as a back-up in case another breaks.

There's not many ways you could do that. There are probably some sort of plastic repair kits out there but you would be better off googling that then asking here. Perhaps hobby shops?

Yes, this has happened to my son's also. A small piece of the plastic broke off. I am not buying another pair. He took the piece off from the other side and brought it to school where they have a 3=D printer and they are going to reproduce the piece for him to hopefully fix the broken side.

Give them time and they should come around, if not try moving it to different spot. I would not paint the plastic.

I had the same problem, still under warranty, and the company refused to fix them. Do not send them back to B&O; (who wanted $50 to fix mine). Go to a local electronics repair shop. I did that and had them fixed for $5.
