paperweight after 4 uses

I was really excited about this product at first. I work outside all day every day so charging my phone on the go is important. This battery only recharged my phone 4 times before quitting on me and now refuses to even hold a charge or collect sunlight. I'm genuinely disappointed with this product now. Maybe mine was defective but I wouldn't buy it again.

Bought this device in May of 2016, I've used it perhaps 5 times.  It tends to splutter if overfilled, and the reservoir is but small.  My chief gripe is after 5 uses it won't power on.  This is not a sophisticated device after 5 uses I expect appliances to function.  I would avoid this brand and this particular device.  Although you could argue it certainly left me steamed.

I ordered this for my craft business during our busiest month of the year, which was a mistake, because we didn't get around to testing it till today. Put in 4 AA batteries, flipped the on/off switch, the power indicator flashed once, went off and stayed off. I will continue playing around with it and maybe try different batteries, but am not hopeful based on the other negative reviews. The return window expired yesterday, so we're stuck with this $14 plastic box that isn't even heavy enough to use as a paperweight.

I will update this review if I somehow get it to come back to life.

I bought my husband this item for Christmas from Sears.  We had the same exact problem as Jefsav had with his.  My husband used the recorder four times, and after he ejected the disk the last time, the unit shut itself off, never to be powered up again.  We took the unit back to Sears and although it had been under the Christmas tree and not in use, they said we had "had it too long" to give us a refund so they replaced it with the exact same model.  After exactly four uses, it did the same thing.  This time we took it back and got a refund since we had only had this one for a week and there wasn't much hope of a third one working any better.

The spring on the micro sd slot stopped working after about 4 uses, so i had to break the plastic between that and the slot under it to get the card out.  It still works, but im going to have to pull any cards in that slot out from now on.

Im too cheap to buy a different model until it actually loses functionality, but its a piece of crap, i really liked it when i got it, but i am pissed now and I hope the company in china that makes this pos will burn down in a fire.

Dont buy it if you need to count on it lasting

Did not last any longer than 4.5 months. Used it 3 times and now the display just shows an I'm helpful error code 24C02 and shuts off. It's some kind of memory chip problem that's not fixable. Useless trash now. Buy something else.

This was purchased on March 22and it was only used once and the power button locked up. It won't do anything, neither off nor on. Just found out it can't be returned or exchanged so we have a worthless paperweight. I'm very upset.

I purchased two of  these and used from time to time for live events.  I give the Tascam DR-40 2 STARS due to  lack of reliability and eventual equipment failure.  I have had too many failures while recording live events.  Even on the SD media Tascam suggested.  One unit failed to power on after  4 months of use.  Tascam did warranty, though the replaced unit is now giving errors. The other unit unfortunately won't power on after 8 months of light use as a backup.  Even if I can get replacements I will  not trust these devices in the field.  I have been burnt  one too many times.

I bought this piece of junk and unfortunately waited too long to return it. So now I have a paperweight!

Used Rayn Ultrasonic cleaner three times, it appeared normal. The fourth time, the unit shut itself off and has not come back on since. Removal of the circuit board revealed (WARNING: CONTAINS 250 VOLTS) an overly complex circuit with multiple potential points of failure. Capacitor leads were bent perpendicular to the main board, sealant had been carelessly strewn around components, and construction quality seemed to be absent. Not pleased with my $60 paperweight.

I have gone through four (4) of this model and everyone has failed. Fortunately for me, Kodak supplied the last three free as replacements. I'll have to give them credit for that.
However, the last one arrived yesterday (June 6), I reinstalled the software on all three computers and made sure of the wi-fi connection by printing a page from each computer. All okay. Today (June 7) I tried to print a page and, just like the last printer, it froze. Unplugging it does no good. The on light stays on and the monitor screen is blank. Nothing happens. The same thing happened to the last one.
I've been told that Kodak is going out of the printer business. I can see why - their products (at least this one) are junk.
