How is the motor speed consistenc ad longevility? How is the sound quality? How long does it take before it breaks or the sound quality gets affected

While motor speed is ok, sound quality, it didn't WOW me. Don't forget, this is not brand name electronics. Raw recording does not have the tape's hiss sound neutralizer. With the program Audacity, you can play around with speed, sound, and so on. I only use it as a usb recorder, not as a Walkman, so it does not get the wear and tear of Walkman's. So I'm not able to tell you how long it will take till it breaks, or sound distorted. But it's sure doing what it says on the box, and it's worth what it costs. If you need high quality recording, than maybe consider something else.

Motor speed was slightly (~3-4%) higher than it should be but at least very steady. Sound quality was OK, even good for portable cassette player.Used it to convert to digital, was able to compensate motor speed and apply very good sound filters in the conversion software, so the resulting sound was very decent, I would even say better than the original.Unfortunately, it broke after a few hours of experiments and converting 5 or 6 cassettes.

The step motor makes for smooth and quiet operation. That's important particularly when shooting videos and you don't want to hear the motor making adjustments in your audio. I have the 18-135 STM...well worth the money.

its last till you turn it off or batteries go dead, i think it plays like 12 different tunes but there only like 30 secs long and they repeat over and over its works good , and yes it spins, only down fall is that its a bit loud there is no volume control, i put tape over speaker to muffle it.

I swim about 2 hours a day 7 days a week and I need something that is sturdy and I want to drag and drop wma files from my computer, does this stay charged good, what is the sound quality, and has it held up over time?

I agree with K. Not a single breakdown in the speaker quality. You'll be surprised at how good it sounds. This was the first thing I bought on Amazon and it has been the best. I use it for my computer speakers and whenever I go on a trip to a cabin, party or whatever. I've had several people to ask me to bring him. A microfiber cloth will keep him looking new. Mine is named Darth Piggy. :8)

I've been using it for 4 mos, and it still seems to be doing the job. It sharpens all sides evenly and there is minimal decrease in the motor although some. It's used in a classroom for pencils and colored pencils.

I've had it for 3 years and use it 5-6 days a week for at least 30 mins. Sometimes I do 45 mins. or an hour or longer. One time I thought it was breaking down because it smelled like the motor was burning, and it stopped. I turned it off and the next day it was fine. That was about 4 months ago and that hasn't happened since.

I bought them May 20th 2014.And they still work perfectly,I keep good care of the things I buy, but I imagine it won't last long if you purposefully smash it with a hammer.With care, it can last a long time.Sound quality is great though.

I have one of the speakers and have enjoyed the sound quality and, the overall durability compare to other cheap speakers. The unit is charged VI a micro plug much like your cell phone. therefore you can charge it with an adapter through your wall. You can also use a USB plug to charge to your computer. I find that it's best to charge it off a wall plug overnight and it will run for a long time before it dies from power. I paid about 40 bucks for mine used, and find great success with the speaker, mostly the distance you can take your phone while still having music play through the speaker. I have at least 6 or 7 friends the now packed this speaker around. Good luck.

Sound level is comparable to a hand drill (at work, not free-spinning). Most of the noise is caused by the ice, not the motor.It's fast enough that the noise is short-lived.

It was a good subwoofer but it broke on me about a year ago. It just stop working and I had the subwoofer for about 3years. When it was working it sound great.

it is a fantastic bike with some cons..... the bike runs good and holds a good charge. The couple cons are the only button on it plays a funny song; it doesn't sound like a motorcycle. The other con is it did not hold up to my sons demeanor. What I mean by that is my son "PLAYS" with his toys, he is hard on them and it broke at the neck of the front end. I actually snapped right in two. He was riding it and trying to pop wheelies and snapped it. My son and his cousins played on it for eight months before it broke. The heaviest kid we had on it was around the 100 pound mark and it did fine that way. it is a fantastic bike with some cons..... the bike runs good and holds a good charge.

Yes. I had this mobile for my daughter about two years ago. Never had and issues with the sound or parts. A couple months ago (now using it for my son) it completely stopped working so I received a new one... over the last couple years it seems the company has gone very cheapo with their parts, including the motor.

My wife and I put at minimum 20 miles a week on our's - at first it was near silent, after about 40 hours of breakin the motor starts to get a little more noticeable above 6 mph, and conversationally loud at +7.5 mph. As long as you lube it regularly, it will remain quiet enough to keep from being distracting. Of note, we have owned ours for 4 months and are very satisfied with it.

No. It is fixed speed and of bad quality ... at least the one I got. ... After of 20 hours operation the unit started overheating and a bearing noise developed. The unit feels robust, but it's lifespan is questionable ... needs to be seen.
