Mine from Jan 2010 was hassle-free and a good value

I purchased this item almost 2 years ago (1/21/10), and I've had no issues whatsoever.  Several recent negative reviews might suggest that something has changed for the worse, perhaps, but my experience was more similar to the early positive reviews.  Assembly was quick and easy, and my unit is sufficiently sturdy and not wobbly.  The Amazon price was much better than local pricing, and I considered this to be a great value.  I don't use it heavily, but I think it looks better than average and it does its job fine for my purposes.  Given the recent negative reviews, I'm hesitant to recommend it today, but if the product is the same as it was 2 years ago then I would not hesitate to recommend it.

:) Absolutely no issues at the moment, the admin software is great and easy to use, The 20 year old version of me would have just gone through and spent the headache of creating my own and dealing with potential hardware compatibility issues, etc... and plus I was broke. Now, I don't regret forking money to have the convenience of everything ready for me to get going and store stuff.

I've used Quicken for several years and recently upgraded from 2010 to 2013. Upgrades to this point were way too expensive (in essence you weren't upgrading, you were buying a whole new version) in my opinion. The 50% off coupon I received at the end of 2012 sealed the deal.

I've only used the 2013 version for a couple of weeks and I'll try to follow up with more feedback in a few months. So far, so good. The program does a good job of tracking your spending, savings, debt & investments. It also does a good job for tracking business expenditures. I especially like the graphing ability - it makes it easier to visualize my spending.

Four stars for doing a decent job and making it easier to track my finances.

Set up has always been a pain with Quicken, and this version is no different. (I think Quicken has tried too hard to be everything to everyone.) Once set-up is complete however, it is easy to enter day-to-day transactions. (Note: you needn't take the time to set-up, you can just start plugging away if you want.) I stopped tracking in early 2012 due to a hard drive crash and decided to start fresh. A couple of hours entering information and I'm set for the year. (Keep in mind I'm using this for a business and have multiple accounts - personal and business - which added to my set up time.)

I haven't experienced the problems other users have reported here, however I downloaded R10 (22.1.10.2) and the issues they reported were on earlier versions. No crashes, no save lag, etc. The program has run very well for me.

So what needs work? There is still no option for setting up a Health Savings Account (I'm using the brokerage account option and my health spending is deducted from the money market), and I would like to see more user customization especially for the investments. The system makes assumptions that aren't always valid.

Overall all a good product.

I am satisfied with this software. I chose 2010 because I could install on more than one computer. I had upgraded to Windows 8.1 from XP and my Office 2003 wasn't compatible.  I don't use anywhere near all the features and don't care about cloud storage. This 2010 is a good fit for my needs.

I certainly hesitated to upgrade to the 2009 version after having read so many negative reviews, but with the suspension of all download support (investment and banking) looming for my 2006 version I had no other option unless I wanted to switch to another program.  I purchased my version in November by which time some of the bugs reported by other reviewers may have been resolved.  I have been completely satisfied with the transition and found it smooth and trouble-free.  There are a few more needless bells and whistles in this latest version but the basic functions work very well.  It should be noted for others considering an upgrade after several years and versions have come and gone that the conversion of your older Quicken files (ver 2006 and up) is perfectly smooth as opposed to, say, the conversion process I experienced when upgrading from Quicken 2003 to 2006, which required a call to Tech Support.

same as my old one; reliable and works like a charm

Even though I hardly use mine now but it has always served me well.  I purchased mine from a guy on craigslist back in 2004 for a fraction of the original cost and it looks and works great to this day!

This is a reliable unit which has given me no problems.

I installed this in a two-year-old Dell Inspiron laptop, swapping out the older 5400 RPM hard drive for this new SSD and installing a new OS. For reference, this laptop has a 1.9 GHz Intel Core i3-4030U and 4 GB of DDR3 RAM @ 1600 MHz.

Before the upgrade, it was choking on just turning the thing on. Logging in would take at least a few minutes, and programs took half a minute or longer to start. It was usable, but it became so slow. After the upgrade as well as a new OS installation, it now takes just under 14 seconds to boot after turning on the power button, and everything takes only a couple seconds (or less) to open despite the otherwise slow CPU. This is even better than when it was brand new.

Obviously at this price, you're not getting an NVMe SSD, but the value is otherwise pretty good for the few more years you can get out of any prebuilt PC when upgrading to a solid state drive.

Dropped this in an old mid-2010 Mac mini, and it has been problem free so far.

Quicken 2010 began warning me that online services would expire in April 2013, and so I began dreading the upgrade process based on all of the negative reviews of many versions of Quicken and the horror stories about botched upgrades.

I'll say right up front that the upgrade was very smooth and painless.  Quick 2013 installed without issue, loaded my file, and that was that.  All of my data and online accounts (more than ten) came over.  At about the same time I was getting a new computer, so I not only had backups of my Quicken file but I had the old version of Quicken running on my old PC -- abundant precautions, but really not needed.

Quicken has always had its quirks, but in general the 2013 version seems more stable and for the most part more usable than the 2010 version.  I'd been a Microsoft Money user before the 2010 version, and that was a much more jarring change than 2013 compared to 2010.  There seems to be better programming behind the interface (no more flickering/updating of the whole window while the online updates are running), the navigation is better, and only a couple things were confusing.  It took me a little while to realize that the payment reminders for a mortgage were taking care of the principal/interest split without me having to schedule a payment from the loan details.  I'd also read in reviews about some new embedded advertising, but I haven't seen any, perhaps because I'm using Quicken Premier.

Quicken continues to have problems -- limited import capabilities, for example, and it seems to get confused regularly about multiple versions of the same investment security -- but on the whole, it's reasonable to use, and there really aren't many good alternatives.

I had this unit for 7.5 years. Had, because this week it finally died - and it had a 7 year warranty. I think the blade came apart and it started to grind itself up, but it might have been a clam shell or small stone that sneaked in there that caused the failure.. Still, 7+ years of trouble-free service is not bad. No repairs. Only 2 jams that I can remember where I needed to get the wrench out to un-stick them. It was quieter than the Insinkerator it replaced. And it never balked at anything I fed it - lemon rinds, avocado pits, the occasional peach pit, chicken bones, and more than once a piece of silverware I wished I had caught in time. It would sometimes take forever on softer stuff like fruit rinds; adding something hard like an avocado pit actually sped up the digestion process.

So I'll probably replace it with another Viking.

From 2004 till 2007 it was my basic camera, and it was rather good for me.

Easy to install and I don't have to do it for ten more years.

With the price of memory falling daily, it's hard to know if the price you paid for the memory was low.  So the amount that I paid for this memory was, I believe, a good value.  I have not had any problems with it and quite happy with it.
