Review from real professional.  DO NOT BUY
353697
Bought Sept 2017, by Jan 2018 started to operate with difficulty.  Lever would stick and hard to move lever back and forth.  Eventually just kept getting worse until now lever will not move, Feb 2018.  This eventually happened to the original one I had that lasted 14 years, (Wife & I are real lovers of wine, 3500 bottle collection, we drink 1-2 bottles every night and lots of parties, so the old opener got lots of use over the years) so I bought this new one through Amazon, thinking good investment.  The material they use internally, and the overall manufacturing is just horrible.  I wish there was a manufacturer that actually made a real antique model with quality metal, I'd pay for it.  Says 1 year warranty through Wine Enthusiast, I still have a few months left but no way to contact through Amazon, will have to call directly.  Good thing I saved the packaging.  Says Made in China exclusively for Wine Enthusiast right on the paperwork in the box.  Great as novelty item, otherwise DO NOT BUY if you intend for regular daily use.

This is an unmitigated pile of excrement masquerading as a professional instrument.

First off, it does not include a USB cable despite the web site & product manual saying it does. Not a big issue, but indicative of how Arturia approaches detail, which is to say, not at all.

The next thing I noticed upon unpacking my keyboard is the registration code in the box does not work. Then I noticed there's no support number. And there's no support email address. There's a support webform that takes your support request and I suppose prints it in kibble and feeds to the local pack of stray dogs for all the help it does.

Without a registration code, the software you can install from the website only gives you the DEMO version of AnalogLab, which means you'll be lucky if you can play the Axel-F theme song (i don't think the demo is designed to work with the keylab keyboards.)

Perhaps someday I will be able to give it a proper review and talk about how nice the keys feel or how well the drum pad responds to my fingers. But until the Arturia peeps respond to my support request, I have a 40 pound paper-weight shaped like a keyboard.

I never thought I would see a company with worse customer support than Casio, but Arturia has amazed me with how much of a schmuck I feel like for giving them my money.

What a piece of crap not made for professional use. They grossly misrepresent the capabilities of this Eyefi Mobile Pro 32GB card. Next stop yelp, instagram, and Facebook.

These headphones are NOT professional. They have a muffled sound that does not give me the full dynamic of the music HD headphones are supposed to have. The bass is weak, the treble is muffled and the mids are practically non existent. If you are a professional music PRODUCER, STAY AWAY FROM THESE HEADPHONES. The average Joe Music Consumer would swear these are good headphones. But to those of us that Know better, stay away from these. Sennheiser is a very good company and the HD203's are some very good headphones. Buy those before you waste $$$ on these.

I purchased these screws in this specific size for a 1961 pool table I was restoring.  The professional table mechanics that I paid to set up the table predrilled holes in the wood and still the first two screws they used snapped like twigs.  When I filed for a refund on amazon, the seller questioned if the hole had been predrilled and said "wood screws should never be driven using a power drill".  Really?  These professional installers (and many others) that do construction and use screws for a living are supposed to screw every piece by hand on every project?  Your hardware is weak.  They purchased new screws from their local industrial fastener supplier and they went in and tightened up perfectly.  Avoid this seller's products if at all possible.

Have to revise my review of this. Only nine months old and both effects channels completely out.

Edit: Behringer had me take this thing to Digitron Electronics in Montebello, CA for under warranty repair. 200 miles, two days missed work and 9 days later they said it was fixed. Guess what? It does not work.

So now I've spent in lost work and gas money more than half what I paid for this. DO NOT BUY A BEHRINGER PRODUCT.

UPDATE. Here we go again with more fake 5 star reviews. Each so called reviewer only has a total of 1 review ever and it's for this camera. Now they are posting some verified purchase reviews. I understand they hire a company who orders these products under different names, posts reviews, and cancels the order or returns the product. This company will stop at nothing to deceive you, the buyer on a very mediocre product. Rating dropped to 1 star for this unethical behavior IMO

AS SOON AS I POSTED MY HONEST UNBIASED REVIEW, LIKE MAGIC 12 FAKE 5 STAR REVIEWS APPEARED OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN BY THE SAME PERSON. EACH REVIEW HAS 2 LINES AND 2 SEPARATE ONES USE THE SAME PHOTO.  I have to believe most of the 5 star reviews are fake.  In my opinion, whoever is doing this (possibly the seller, manufacturer, or their friends) is behaving in a deceitful and dishonest manner. Notice how none of those reviews posted on the same day as mine are verified purchases and all sound like they were written by the same person. This is just my opinion since I can't prove who is doing it. The fact is, if the product was so great, they wouldn't have to resort to these tactics. I was being generous with my 2 star rating. Here is the review I posted earlier today:

The camera froze and stopped recording for no reason several times. The mounting system is terrible. Getting the camera in and out of the mount is difficult and almost requires that the entire assembly be removed from the dash to do it. There should be a quick release lever, but the mounting system is cheap garbage plastic.  This product works, looks and feels like something that should sell for $80. Other than the touch screen, it does not look or feel like a premium product. The product itself feel very fragile and could be easily damaged. The video quality is good. The audio quality is TERRIBLE. When I played the recording back on my computer, I could hardly hear myself talking while driving. The cheaper Rexing blows this thing away in terms of audio. I think the video quality is slightly better here. I like that you can rotate the camera on the mount if someone is riding your tail, but that could be dangerous to do while driving. The touch screen is really nice. It also takes up a lot of space on the windshield with the mounting system and big camera. Absolutely not worth $180. Needs work. IGNORE ALL THOSE 5 STAR REVIEWS THAT DON'T HAVE A VERIFIED PURCHASE AND EVEN SOME THAT DO.

Got mine today. Good shipping response time.  Box was damaged, but the product was not.

Instrument is not as good as a Walmart First Act learner guitar.

Problems:
- Sloppy work all around, even for a cheap instrument.
- NOT 24 FRET.  22 fret.
- String spacing is tight, but probably as advertised.
- Stained trimwork/faux perlin.  Could be some sort of dark dye or staining grease.
- Electronics poorly installed causing splintered wood at on corner of EQ console.  Doesn't lay flat to the body.
- Neck a little more bowed than appropriate, even after tensioner adjustment.
- Thumb print already stained into neck wood.  Came with fingerprints on it. Probably a resold used item instead new as advertised.
- Body too narrow for rich accoustic sound if not amplified. Low B almost inaudible in anything but absolute silence.
- Haven't plugged it up yet to test electronics. Will update review once done.
- Visible dried glob of glue randomly inside body.
- Sound hole cut is rough and splintery inside.
- Not a satin finish.  Plywood is nearly unfinished.
- Nut is not trimmed to the neck and is not notched properly.
- Factory strings are not good (but that's normal).
- No string placement notching on the plastic saddle.
- Action height causes significant pitch bend starting at only 5th fret.

the whole cabinet weighs 26lbs. no professional 10 " main in history has been this light. material area as cheap as can be and the manufacturer will send you these junk speakers. after you realize you made a horrible mistake and try for a refund they will deduct whatever  they want for return shipping. this is a scam and i would steer clear of seismic audio you wil be disappointed i promise. if you're going to buy concert speakers i suggest EV or Peavey so save your money and get something you are happy with and will last a lifetime. these are cheap Japanese speakers you can build from walmart and lowes for less than $30 for both.

6\25\15 response to seismics take on my review. My entire EV cabinet weights 90lbs not the woofer alone. it is made with professional grade high density 1" MDF. this is a professional speaker enclosure unlike yours. If I took all the speakers out of the EV cabinet it would still weigh more than yours because it is made with quality materials. Even my cerwinvega home speakes weigh more than theses and in the peaker industry heavier is better. you are welcome to try your luck but i pro,ise you will be disappointed. I didn't open the because I knew they were going to be cheap so i refused deliver. I never had possession of them. the fed ex delivery guy is also a musician and he even said "you're not gonna want these, they only weigh 26lbs. no professional cabinet with a 10" woofer, mids and tweeters is going to weigh 26 lbs unless it was made of thin cheap material. Your money so spend how you wish but don't say i didn't tell you so. So far theyve refused ANY refund so I filed an A-Z claim with Amazon so I'm confident I will get my money back in full.

This product may be good, but it seems that somebody is gaming the system by "review stuffing" completely unrelated product reviews into here. Stay away until this is resolved. Scammers at work.

I'll be short and sweet here.

I'm a film and video professional. I've worked in the business for over 25 years so I know equipment. I bought this deck to replace high quality Panasonic machines we've used over the years and finally wore out.

Panasonic is NOT the reliable company it used to be. This deck is made in China and is junk. Yes, there are reviews here where folks love the deck. They were lucky. The failure rate on this deck is extremely high! Do a search online for this deck and words like "failure", "error", etc. and you'll find that as much as half of these decks lock up due to various component errors and can't be fixed locally.

We just pulled one off the shelf to take another old deck's place. It was sitting in the box for a year and should be just as good as the day it was delivered. I plugged it in and instantly got a "U99" error code. I looked this up online and found that this is common for this deck. You wouldn't believe the number of these decks that are having to be returned.

Since my deck was now out of warranty, I wrote to Panasonic Service. They said to send it back to them with $170.00 and they would "fix" it. That doesn't include the $30.00 to ship it there. Total of $200.00 for a deck that's never worked. I don't think so. I just ordered a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Magnavox-MDR515H-500GB-HDD-and-DVD-Recorder-with-Digital-Tuner/dp/B004PYDE1E/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Magnavox MDR515H 500GB HDD and DVD Recorder with Digital Tuner</a>&nbsp;for $250.00. This deck also has a 5% failure rate but that's much better than 50% and most of the hundreds of reviews for the MDR515 are all 5 Star. Plus, for $28.00 you can buy a three year "no questions asked" swap warranty if it fails for any reason including you breaking it!

Do you really want to take the chance on this poorly build old technology built in China? At least think about it so you don't end up with an expensive door stop like we have!

Product is nice when working.  Now is broken so when I contact them for warranty service.  Their shady staffs touted lifetime warranty but you have to go through Amazon.  Amazon has only a 30 days returnable windows and specifically stated warranty is a contract between customer and mfg.  When I ask the guy name Kelvin at ext 8900 if I can have his permission to speak to Amazon he quickly declines then refers me to the red tape.  This will be the last time I buy Maxgrade product.  I advise everyone to take extra cautious when buying because they do not honor any warranty of whatsoever.  Don't get baited like me to their lifetime warranty pitch, it simply doesn't exist at all.  So they completely misadvertised their fine print on the box. Or even worst, you'll loose your reputation when the merchandise breaks and you can't have them serviced.  Your customers will harass you.  You are smarter than that! don't loose your reputation.  I will contact Amazon to yank all of their product lines until they revise their term of agreement.  Also note they don't give out telephone number so you will need to Google, their sales dept at 800 233 4210.  They don't even have a service dept, sales people is all you get.  Their online form also leads to nowhere so don't waste your time contacting them through their web interface. This such a shady business practice.  I'm sticking to Tell, Schlage, and Copper creek from now on.  Those guys have no questions ask policy and always stand behind their product.  People please, avoid this bogus brand at all cost!

As a professional technician do not buy these! I've been using these for a few months now, Seller sells a low quality product even for DIY/Home use! I used the VW size oil filter once on a tiguan, needless to say I had to chisel out the filter...do not buy.

Poor product, unprofessional company. Received the product. Opened the box. Brand new stuff. The folding wing on the left side snapped and locked into place. The folding wing on the right side just flops/won't snap in place/ seems OK when around my neck but is a complete nuicense when handling the item. The ear buds do not stay in the holder when not in use/fall out upon body movement. When reading the directions, at the bottom of the page is vulgar language. It is supposed to read "Double-click" but instead it reads "Double-Di**".

Going back. Professional IT person wasted around 6 hours over the course of a week trying different troubleshoots to make this work.  It WILL NOT print via redirect print while working on a remote desktop.  Canon customer service is HORRIBLE.  Rude jerk (seriously, me and my IT person both wanted to tell him to go play on the freeway) demanded (seriously, demanded) that we not call again because Canon will not discuss "network issues."  They insisted we call Microsoft.  My previous Canon printed redirect no problem.  And after such a long time messing with the thing, we clearly saw that it was not a Microsoft issue, the Canon software is MESSED up.  Strange errors, the printer kept disappearing off the device menu, but then reappear, and the final time we reinstalled the printer, the software said "installation complete" the same time that it produced an error message reading "unable to create port."  (It would not even print local after this.)  It would print redirect if it was plugged into the network via ethernet AND via USB to my laptop, but only after doing the "net stop print" and "net start print" and then hitting "restart" on the print queue.  Because we all have time for that... It's bad enough to get a lemon, but when customer service is soooooooo bad, enough is enough.  I loved my old Canon, but they've lost a customer now.

This is not the same curling iron I have bought at Ulta.  I have 2 other Hot Tools curling irons in different sizes but wanted to get the 1 1/2" size.  I bought it off of Amazon b/c it was cheaper than in stores.  I shouldn't have done that.  This curling iron looks exactly the same except it says Hot Tools "Professional".  My old ones just say Hot Tools.  Well, the professional "part" is total crap.  You can not pull your hair through the iron.  The gold metal part gets stuck and you have to keep opening the iron up to pull your hair through to make a wave/curl.  I'm not sure why, but the metal part is a different material than my previous Hot Tools irons which pulled through my hair with ease.  It feels like a cheap iron from Walmart.

Let me start by saying "Take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt".. even this review.

I only logged onto amazon to purchase some ink for my printer but after reading some of these reviews I had to write this.

So many reviews were about such ridiculous issues that I want to respond to the top 3.

1. The printer is noisy
  - All ink jets are noisy to one degree or another. The cartridge head whipping back and forth will make noise.  Is the 6500 more noisy then other ink jets, not in my opinion.

2. The printer is hard to set up
  -After reading review after review about how hard this printer is to set up I can say only one thing, "Take the time to read the quick start sheet".  This printer comes with paper instructions (you wouldn't think so after reading some of the reviews).  Read them.  Taking the time to install any peripheral correctly, the first time, is key to making it work.  I installed the printer on 3 computers at the same time.  One computer used the windows 7 driver disk, a second used the windows XP disk, and the third downloaded the driver from HP's website.  Total time from unboxing to test printing from each computer.. 15 mins.

3. The software is bloated
  -DUH!!!!!  This is an AOI (all in one), it's trying to be all things to all people.  It's a printer, it's a fax, it's a scanner, it's two, two, two mints in one!  HP offers a slimmed down version of it's driver package that is freely available to download.  I guess all these IT professionals and computer programmers must have missed class the day they taught you how to search for what you wanted.

People are also complaining about paper getting eaten, things breaking off, the front display going bad, etc etc etc.  Just remember, if you're upset about something you just bought, you're going to want to vent.  Coming here and writing a post is great for your inner calm, but not so helpful when people are looking for a real review.  For heaven's sake, some person returned it after a day for issues that were both silly and well publicized.

Want to know why I purchased this printer?  HP ink is sold EVERYWHERE. It's also reasonably priced and has very high marks from independent professional reviewers.

Please buy whatever printer you want, but realize that when someone is bemoaning something in a review, it's usually because they're tired or angry.  I'm tired.
