reliability is not 100%. That is a problem

Sometimes its non responsive right next to the iphone. i have to close the app and re-open. The tag doesn't show up as being in range. Range is poor, but that is a limitation of bluetooth. Map occasionally is not all that accurate. Temperature feature is of questionable usefulness. This device has not alleviated my main worry about losing my keys living alone, and there is an extra charge for different types of alerts after 30 days. Devices which require a monthly or yearly maintenance payment are extortion as you never own the device but merely rent it services, Not sure how long battery will last yet, and what that cost will be over an entire year.
Nice idea, reasonable price, other choices available. Might just need to wait a bit and see how the market shakes with TILE, and DUET, etc.

I bought my Samsung nearly two years ago and while I have been very happy with the quality of the display (the two stars would have been five), I am ready to replace it.  I cannot speak for everyone, but my Samsung has been anything but reliable.  It seems to have many of the same problem other buyers of Samsung TVs have experienced as I read other reviewers of Samsung TVs.  My problems are as follows:

  1.  Turns off and on by itself.
  2.  Completely switches off and will not come back on.  When this happens I have to disconnect power
  from the TV between 5 to 30 minutes to get it to work again.
  3.  Aspect ratio randomly changes.
  4.  Input selection randomly changes.

While reviewing possible replacements, I decided to read the reviews of current Samsung TVs and I learned that some of my problems with my current two year old set still has not been resolved by Samsung.  This is obviously unacceptable and I will purchase another brand.

This is too bad since Samsung makes a wonderful TV when it works.  If you are considering purchasing a Samsung, I encourage you to read the reviews of others who have reported similar reliability problems that I have experienced.  What I find most telling is that after two years, Samsung has not resolved these basic reliability issues.

I've had this thing for a few months and it's just not very reliable. I have to make sure it restarts itself every night or it crashes far more often than it does now. I've tried contacting the company to see if there was an issue or an update and I get no response. It does have a strong signal and it is fast, when it does work; however, if it's not reliable, then what's the point? This is cheap for a reason. Spend the extra cash on reputable brand, if you can find one.

*EDIT: Got a response from the emails I sent to support and they sent me new firmware. I haven't had a chance to fully test it since I already purchased a replacement NetGear router and don't intend to put this one back into service. I guess I could use it as a repeater or AP somewhere since it can do that. I cannot find the firmware that was sent in the email on the company's website and it seems they have two different websites that are not very well maintained. I'll go ahead and increase the review by 1 star (up to 2 stars) as it does look they eventually check their email and they obviously read the Amazon reviews. That's better than some products out there, so they deserve a little bit of credit for that.

When it works, it's great.

The problem is, I went through 2 of them...and as such, I can no longer offer a positive review.  If you have had a positive experience, then you got a well-made Blaze.  Good on you.  But if you research, you will find my experience is not uncommon.  My wife still has a Blaze, and it functions well still.  But, the display of my first stopped working, and the heart rate monitoring of the second died as well.

Their QA has to be poor, or they are using cheap parts.

I have a dozen or so of Insteon products.  They're good when they work.  But they FAIL often.  I had one quite severe failure -- smoking in the wall.
But typically, you will have the dreaded blinking... the beeping... the sizzling (along with flashing display).

Complaints regarding reliability have gone unanswered. They just continue to fail. I would suggest that while they are trying to figure out what's wrong with them, change them so that the wires can be push-connectors rather than hard-wired.  Would save time having to replace these.

The problem is, once you have a houseful of these -- you're pretty much stuck unless you rip them all out

I concur that Smarthome does *NOT* stand behind their product. You need to jump through hoops to get a replacement, and if they do, their shipping takes forever.

I had higher expectations with this unit. Overall I am pleased with it, but I wish it was more reliable in its function. I could say more but not needed for this posting

After about 10 uses there always seems to be a problem with it becoming in synced. Or the it stops working. Then you have to unplug and replug the two.

I ordered 4 of these drive enclosures last summer because the one I had ordered a few months earlier worked so well.  One of those drives was DOA and had to be returned.  The firewire port on a second enclosure just failed about 10 months into using it.  Clearly the quality control on these drives is not very good if a failure rate of 50% is seen.

At least they are failing within the 1 year warranty period, so I can return the enclosures for replacements, but keep your receipt.

I use a lot of USB drives for various purposes and over many years I have tried dozens of different models/sizes from brand name companies and most of them are still going strong. I purchased several of these about 12 months ago when they were on sale at a local big box store. Unfortunately since then I experienced problems with most of these drives and 2 are total failures. They randomly indicate various hardware errors after copying data and 2 cannot be recovered. I still have a couple in the original packaging but I am reluctant to use them because they are so unreliable. Maybe I got a bad batch but I cannot recommend these drives.

I like the size, sound (except the reverb, which Is pretty awful but fortunately I don't need) and feature set of this setup, but after owning it about two years now, I've concluded the reliability is just not there.  First failure was a noisy fan, starting after a couple of months and which ultimately ended up cutting out entirely.  I was able to replace this myself after finding the part, but it's clear they're using the most low budget fans they can find (and there are two mini muffin fans inside that aren't identical).  And now the left channel speaker output has started cutting out, mostly only working when the unit is warmed up and even then somewhat intermittently.  I'm not sure I'll bother to fix it at this point, and instead invest in something better.  It seems to me both the mechanical parts as well as the electrical are ultra-low-budget consumer grade parts that just won't last.

I own two of these SSD's; the first was bought for my work laptop, and, happy with the performance, a second was bought for my backup server.  After six months of very light usage with minimal writes, however, the second drive has utterly failed, taking my working backups with it.  Considering that I originally bought these SSDs intending to protect important data from the jostling associated with the TSA and my laptop while I travel, I am quite displeased.

Kingston's quality assurance practices on other devices has been suspect, lately, with the MTBF dropping and number of dead out-of-box devices on the rise.  I recommend doing some research with other individuals with SSDNow devices after a few months of use and see if they have comparable problems before entrusting these drives with working data sets.

Failure rate is rather high.  I've put in a few dozen of these and several have started going bad after about 10 months. GE stands behind their product and will replace it (which is why I give it three stars rather than one) but the process is a bit tedious to complete.

3 have already failed and I've only installed 10.  30% failure rate is not good.
Update 4/4/17 - 4 more have failed.

This product, both units have now failed. I have others that are still active. I believe this is a good item, but with tech one has to be willing to take a chance. However, if I can find the info, I will send them back for warranty work.

Software is faulty.  It does not upgrade seamlessly, but these are fast and reliable drives.

I have purchase 4 of these units.  3 or the 4 have failed after being in service for relatively short times.  On the plus side, they are easy to set up and when they work they work.  2 of the 3 failures resulted in the device being turned "on" when it was supposed to be off.  In all fairness, I am in an area where lightning is a factor, however I also use a competing product in the same building and have zero failures.  I can not recommend this product due to unreliable operation.  It does, however appear to meet published specifications.

I've had two of these drives and they have BOTH failed ~ 2 weeks after the warranty expired. This is the problem with 3rd party drive vendors that buy the cheapest possible hard drives to throw into their units.  I've had great success with Hitachi hard drives in my servers and an almost 50% failure rate with Seagates, which are cheaper.  So I suspect that ioMega is buying the cheaper drives to throw into these units.
