Unbelievable other reviews - too many defects
354275
They are easier to open than other bags, which is what is was trying to find.  However they are smaller than expected, can be difficult to separate and, most significantly, about 1/3 to 1/2 of the first roll we are using are defective - there is no seam to form a bag in too many cases.  I didn't break it accidentally - it unrolled as a defect.  Would not buy again and do not recommend - plan to throw away the remainder.  This product is terrible and looking back at some of these reviews I see a number of positive reviews where people got the product for free in exchange for a review.  This practice should not be allowed as it results in bias.

To be fair to all that read this, I am a tech and can repair consumer level electronics to the component level.
I purchased two of these units, one exactly like this item, the other equipped similarly but with Intel I5 CPU. Both had Killer network cards, touch screen, Nvidia 750M graphics, Blu-Ray and 32GB "secondary" mSata drives.

I bought both units early 2014 open box returns defective for parts only.
The i7 unit needed a new LCD touch screen, while the i5 unit needed a new power supply.
I fixed both of them and have been using them in my shop daily ever since with no new issues.
If they were problematic, I would have torn them down and sold the good parts by now.
Consumer level computers such as these are not designed to last more than three years for several reasons with the primary reason being a newer and better model is right around the corner. However that was not the case with the XPS One 2720 as it was the last of the series which began with the XPS One 2710. This particular type computer was never intended to be a gaming machine, although it does have some respectable hardware installed for the time it was offered. I use them mainly for the large screen display to bring up highly detailed schematics. Since I paid scrap price for both of them, I feel I got a good deal for a pair of iMac level clones.

On the other hand, if I had paid $1500-$2500 for each unit to find them defective on arrival, I would have been very disappointed, so I can understand the unsatisfactory reviews from first line customers. For me, both have worked flawlessly for more than two years.

Item looks striking, but quality control leaves much to be desired.  I had to send this back due to defects with the support poles and connections to the top half of the lamp - support poles wouldn't event connect correctly.  I REALLY dread doing this because it was a pain in the butt to unpack and try and put together and made a huge mess all over my office floor (despite every attempt to unpackage in the box).  Here's hoping attempt #2 is better than the first.  If it's not, I'm cutting my losses.

Like so many others that have reviewed, this product has major design flaws and my unit arrived inoperable. It cost me $45 to return.  And while my original review as much more specific, those details are apparently against the posting rules here.  Thus, I'm summarize as this isn't just a buyer beware, this is buyer run the other direction as fast as you can.

Awful so many problems I wish I didn't buy this!!

I really wanted to love this jacket. I noted all of the reviews and decided to dig in, even though some had mentioned that the jackets arrive damaged and appear to have been used by someone else... well, that's EXACTLY what happened to me! Heed the warnings, do not buy. Continue to shop around. Quality control/assurance is the most important part of a product, if they can't get that right - it's not worth the purchase.

Received two defective units.
The first was ordered as a Christmas gift.  No power to the track; either a defective wall pack or defective terminal track section.  Received replacement in three days.
Worse issues with the replacement.  The track had power but the wire that powers the sound was broken off at the solder joint.  The wires are too short and too delicate for the application (read other reviews - this is a common issue).  Second, after running the train for about 5 minutes one of the metal piston arms snapped in half and blew apart the wheel drive assembly on one side of the train.  A third issue (which also appears to be a common complaint) is that when the train did operate, it would often move in short bursts, especially when going forward.

I had no intention of writing a poor review until I politely questioned a Lionel representative regarding my experience and asked if there was another Lionel product that I could purchase that is a more reliable alternative to this Polar Express set.  I guess that was the wrong question to ask.  Then, when he found out it was purchased on Amazon he became extremely irritated and obstinate stating "Well that was your first problem" and suddenly the defect issues became solely my fault.  He attributed my experience to fact that I did not purchase from a Lionel dealer and that the sets were surely damaged in shipping.  Apparently, to avoid the potential for any shipping damage, Lionel must be hand delivering these from their manufacturer in China directly to licensed dealers and everyone else must be out of luck.  The units were not damaged in shipping.  My guess is that it makes more economic sense for Lionel to have you pay full, or near full retail price at a dealer and then send out questionable product for them to rework.
Amazon's inventory of this set was actually put on ship hold for several days.  I would be interested to know why it was released again.

Do not buy into all the positive reviews.  Search the most recent reviews and you will see there is a SERIOUS flaw in the control panel and door latch for this microwave.  The one we received lasted only about a year and a half before the unit would power itself off when the door was closed.  I lubricated and performed all of the "youtube" fixes, it still would power off and back on when the door was closed.  Sometimes it would power back on with one close of the door, other times it would take 10.  Finally it just died.  So, I purchased a replacement control board off of ebay (the only place I could find one) for $48.  After I installed the control panel, I got the "H98" error that was mentioned in other reviews.  I have messaged the seller (diversifiedauctions) about a refund.  I'll provide an update when I hear back from them. So, I have a useless microwave.  I should have just pitched this one and bought a new one.  DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MICROWAVE - IT WILL NOT LAST TWO YEARS!!!

The first shipment had a huge blemish in the top ..looked like a nail had been driven in, with some sort of attempt at plugging the hole, which was not plugged, and sanding marks in the finish around the problem.  This was rejected.  The second shipment had a blemish on the side, and glue and white putty in clear evidence all around the top.  I have rejected both, and am still waiting for a piece of furniture that is acceptable.  A clear case of shoddy quality control on what could have been a well designed product.  Having now been advised that the manufacturer cannot furnish a unit without flaws, I have cancelled the order.

I have looked at three separate lots of Geeetech Mega R3 boards, sold between February 2015 and June 2015, and all of them are defective.  The support for I2C is non-functional.  Geeetech continues to sell this board, knowing that it is defective, in hopes that customers will not notice until it is too late to return the board.
The defect was first mentioned on their own customer forum back in February 2015, and Geeetech admitted the problem, yet continue to sell the board.
They have promised me repeatedly that each batch of boards has corrected the problem, but they are still selling the same old defective boards.
I have purchased many other brands of Chinese Arduino-compatible Mega R3 boards and they have all worked perfectly.  Only Geeetech boards have had problems, and they have persisted for many months, and Geeetech will absolutely not offer refunds or, obviously, working replacements -- since they don't have one.
I would strongly urge you to avoid Geeetech products because not only are they defective, but the company has been a nightmare to deal with.  They say everything that I want to hear, but deliver nothing.

out of 100 rolls, 18 are defective with the center plastic holder being so deformed that if I can get it on the holder, I would be afraid it would screw up my calculator.  Can't seem to find a way to get in touch with Amazon without returning the whole thing.  18% defective is not acceptable in my book.

I recently bought one (in silver: this review is posted in the "black" project area, too), and the original unit arrived DOA.

1. The circuit board on the bottom was not secured at all.
2. The 4 screws that should have secured it were rattling around inside the unit, doing untold damage during shippng.
3. The 8 "Tool Less screws" used to secure disc drives were missing.
4. The USB port was defective: in "automatic" mode, the unit would power up, then go on and off repeatedly with ANY touching of the connector. With the supplied USB cables, and other that work fine elsewhere (USB 2 cables).

After securing the circuit board, and installing a single drive (why blow up several ;-), my Mac and PC (Vista) computers failed to see the drives at all: none, nada, zip; in fact, the USB interface was invisible as well.

My guess: either SansDigital has very bad final inspection, or in fact this was a unit returned to Amazon, then resold as new (bad, bad bad!)

Amazon did replace the unit quickly and painlessly, and shipped the replacement FedEx 2 day. It is now up and running, the the 5* reviewer comments on its functionality and ease of use (at least for my Mac) apply. I'm using 4x1TB Seagate 7200rpm drives, by the way.

Same as all the other 1-star reviews...thing is bricked after three months. I can only assume there is virtually no quality control (since many people seem to love theirs) or there are a ton of fake reviews. Considering the technical details in many of the other reviews, I am assuming the latter.

I read the reviews on other sites and some were really good and others were extremely bad. I should have listened to the really bad reviews. The box the easel came in had been punctured by a forklift and they still shipped it out to us!!!!  The wood had all types of scratches all over it and the wood that was used to make the two trays that go on either side of the easel were so poor - my husband was almost able to break it just by putting a little pressure on it. We sent it back and will never purchase another kidskraft product again.

There are just too many problems with this printer/scanner/copier to write in here.  Besides, the other 50 bad reviews have probably covered it all!  I'll consult Consumer Reports next time I make a purchase like this.

There is many people posting misleading reviews even when parts fail or rma are a disaster. They keep putting up to 3 stars and I think is not fair for those who come here to get informed before buying.

No quality control for this item. Perhaps the one I received was one that had been returned for having missing parts as referred to recently by another reviewer here, and someone in shipping then tried to put things back and send it out again.

First, I counted the parts before assembling, but as the posts aren't labeled, you must rely on visual cues that are just general as to size.  Second, the diagram for assembly is printed terribly small as is the list of parts beside that small picture.  The company couldn't bother sparing two sheets of paper for the diagram or parts list apparently which would make them more readable.  Even if you copy and enlarge the diagram/list, it would then look blurry-- the font size is that teeny.  There aren't any written directions at all.

I got 2/3 of the tree assembled before discovering that there were two "10a" posts, rather than one, and that I was short a "10" post.  Again they're not labelled and the minor differences are easy to miss.  There was also a missing washer but two Allen wrenches.

The item was shipped in two heavy ill-fitting boxes that had been futilely strapped together with a strip of plastic.  Thus, the boxes were splitting open and worse, UPS had dumped them at the end of our driveway outside the gate 150 feet away from the house.  Upon discovering the missing or wrong posts, I would have preferred to get that one piece sent to me.  But the phone number for the company is only a voice mail that's always full -- no real website and only a PO Box address in Texas.  I doubt if anyone is checking these boxes to ensure that they're complete or intact.

Big hassle with Amazon to return as the rep had communication problems and tried to promise that Amazon would send out a replacement that Amazon would check ahead of time.  I didn't believe for a moment that Amazon would be counting all the washers or matching up posts.  Worse was that I spent over an hour dismantling the tree and then was faced with trying to wedge all the parts back into the original boxes that didn't fit to begin with.  The rep never sent me the return slip to put in the boxes, and they'd never come with any packing slip to begin with. So this was another call to Amazon, and thankfully a very good rep.  UPS was scheduled to pick up the heavy boxes the next day, but when that came, the new story was that UPS couldn't actually promise this.  I'd had to pack them outside on my front porch since they'd be too heavy to move after.  So they sit there for perhaps a few more days over the weekend -- charming.

Too bad, because otherwise this is a perfectly nice cat tree that could be 4-5 stars.  The problem is that defective boxes of it are being sent out causing buyers like myself countless wasted hours.  After trying to decipher teensy diagrams in German/English, assembling and then dismantling everything, re-packing squished boxes, and dealing with customer reps in Amazon and UPS, that's an entire day of work.  Nothing to show for it at the end.
