Junk.  I bought this because of the great reviews, but my experience with it is it isn't worth the money.  It now constantly gets jammed and the drive wheel won't turn until I take it apart and unjam it.  The material the blue wheels are made of is coming off in little pieces so there is always blue particles floating in the pool.  I have adjusted the suction level repeatedly and it has never climbed the walls. I will go by a cheap one now and it will prob work 10 times better.

I have to agree with the other less-than stellar reviews that have been written.  As one reviewer stated, it is a great concept, just not good execution on the part of the manufacturer.  We have had these scooters (2) for just over a year.  They were a bear to put together.  As my husband and I were putting them together for our girls, I thought that I'd never buy one again.  For what we needed - a fun scotter to ride around the neighborhood - it was just too much work.  Unless you are a bicycle / motor cycle enthusiast, putting it together and adjusting it properly will be a little difficult.

The positives:  They look great and my kids do have fun riding them.
The cons:  So many parts and pieces to put the thing together... one scooter had electrical issues out of the box.  Still have not fixed it as it does not affect the actual ride of the scooter.  The scooter just does not feel that stable.  I tinker with them all the time; tightening things, etc.  I know that some of this is normal wear and tear, but I have never felt super confident with this scooter.

I just ordered an eZip 750 from Currie.  It should arrive tomorrow.  I'm hoping that this new scooter will be better.  I decided to try one before I replaced both of the scooters we currently own.  I'll post back when I've had a chance to assess the new scooter.

Update - The eZip 750 arrived and it was a breeze to put together.  It seems very sturdy and needed very little adjusting out of the box.  Personally, I feel this is a much better scooter than the x360.  The kids like the lights and horn, etc. on the x360, but honestly,those things are minor add-ons that don't come close to making the x360 a decent choice.

Just yesterday, our black x360 that has always had electrical problems, horn and lights have never worked, stopped altogther.  The kids say one of their friends turned the key too far and then it wouldn't start.  I can see the ignition is turning too far, but I'm not sure if that is the problem.  I'll order a new ignition and see if that works.  The eZip has no key or ignition, so that is one less thing to break.

As much as I want to like the x360, it has been more trouble than it's worth.  I would recommend an eZip from Currie.

Despite all the bad reviews I still decided to purchase this... I don't know.. it looked attractive, it looked nice and reliable.... it looked resistant and just the one power bank I had been looking for, for soo long!.... And well... PLEASE LISTEN TO THOSE REVIEWERS WHO LEFT BAD REVIEWS!

I was convinced that maybe I would be luckier... I just wanted to have this and was hoping with all myself that all those bad reviews were from the past... or not accurate enough (or that they just had bad luck).... whatever.... I WAS SOO WRONG! I received this portable charger and tested it for 2 full days hoping and praying that it was just me, that maybe I was doing something wrong... (but what can you possibly do wrong with such an easy-to-use item??).

- It charges good.
- It holds the charge good enough.
- IT DOES NOT CHARGE iPHONES..
- IT DOES NOT CHARGE TABLETS..
- nor anything else you will plug into it....

It starts charging your device and then it stops... you change cable, you unplug and plug it again thinking "maybe it will work now - maybe it was not plugged correctly"...

This device is TOO BIG AND WAY TOO HEAVY for acting like a piece of plastic junk bought from a dollar store!!!! How is that even possible that this thing is not working correctly?? I don't understand... all I know is that I wanted it to work soo badly.... and got extremely disappointed.

I was so upset that I just returned this JUNK immediately....
I have been reading that to every single bad review the company was offering the reviewer to replace the item... but if soo many people have problems, what makes you think we would even be interested in a replacement which most probably won't work either??? Please just invest your time and money in adjusting something that is clearly defect.

I really really wanted to be happy with it... It looked solid and elegant.. even if so much weight does not make it very "portable"... but if at least it worked.. I know I would have loved it!

I bought this product due to the reviews it received. I researched for 2 months on a cooling pad for my 17-inch laptop and this seemed to be the one that would fit, but when i got it. It didn't live long or up to the great reviews. My unit still get's hot to the touch. the USB cord pretty much stopped working on it's own. i'm not sure what this unit can do for me now..and it's only been a 5 months. I will definitely be contacting the manufacturer to get this unit replaced.

I wanted to like this, I really did.  It had all the specs and features I was looking for at a great price, and I was really hopeful with all the positive reviews - but mine was DOA.  I unboxed it and hooked it up via 1/4" from my mixer and it was incredibly distorted at any volume.  I then tried the mp3 line in from my cell phone to rule out anything with my mixer and/or 1/4" cable, to the same result.  I guess I just got a lemon.  It's too bad as it looks and feels pretty solid too. I bought a different stage monitor, hooked it up the exact same way, and it worked just fine.  This was my first venture into Seismic Audio which is unfortunate.  I emailed them and will obviously be returning it.  Dang :(

I read all the reviews and found two common sentiments: 1 - people love it, 2 - in some cases, it was reported to not be very effective. I took the risk and purchased the 300w version to use in my 55gal tank. I can confirm that it is very weak and sometimes cannot maintain 72 degrees overnight in my main family room (2nd floor). Room temperature never goes lower than 16 degrees. I wanted to love this product, but I don't think I can recommend it, nor do I think I will repurchase it at a later date.

Maybe I had a bad set, because I bought it because of the high reviews.

My sister has one of these and she had nothing but great things to say about it. Once I watched as she used it and it worked like magic. So I decided to buy one for myself (a refurbished item). Maybe it was previously misused because the one I got was absolutely useless, although it didn't appear to be damaged. I'm including a photo to show the results of my first and only use of this item, since I'm returning it.

I had high hopes for this fan. I went ahead and spent more than I had planned to spend for a fan, I was going to buy one around $40 but thought that buying this fan would be worth it in the long run because it seemed of high quality and has great features. I got it this morning, which is super fast because I ordered it the night before last. I opened the box and put the fan together, which was fairly simple, and turned it on for the first time. I noticed that it is not as well built as I thought it would be, it has more vibration than I planned for as well. I do love the remote control feature and the speeds, oscillation directions, etc.

I am dissappointed because I have bought a few "cheap" (low price) fans for my office/shop that have performed perfectly. (Blizzard- Holmes... desktop and a floor fan)So I had the idea that this would be a big upgrade and it would be very quiet, etc. Anyway, I don't think this product is worth the price. I will keep it because I have no moral grounds on which to return it, but I hope this review helps others make a choice in which to buy. I am not sure of a store that stocks this item but you might want to check it out up close before you buy.

Seeing as how all the reviews prior to mine are 4 and 5 stars, I must have had bad luck with the particular Little Disk that I bought less than a week ago.

I was very excited because of how small and beautiful it is. Everything transferred from my other external hard drive with no problem, the FireWire made it super fast, so far so good.

Then, the disk lost its connection with my Macbook because the FireWire cord is so short and the disk itself is so small; it slipped out of my hands by accident. I got the "device removal warning" and grimaced, but figured I would be okay. Nope. All of my LaCie data was corrupt and I had to repair the disk, erase everything, and re-transfer from my older external. From then, everything started working again.

Then two nights ago, I connected my year-old iPod to "erase and sync" with my new library (my Macbook is new too). After a few seconds, I got an error message saying that my iPod "could not be read from or written to." Since the "erase" had been done before the "sync," I now had an empty iPod that couldn't be written to (essentially, a paperweight). I restored my iPod twice and frantically searched Mac forums + support pages; I tried every one of the 10 to 20 solutions to fix possible reasons for this error. No luck.

Finally, this morning I took everything (iPod, Macbook, LaCie Little Disk) to the Genius Bar at Apple and we figured out eventually that it was the LaCie drive that was the problem (songs were transferred to my iPod with no problem from an Apple Store computer, and from my own Macbook's internal hard drive). Either the iPod (or iPod's software) wasn't compatible with the LaCie's (or its software); the USB connections weren't compatible (I tried both USB ports and FireWire on the LaCie), or something else.

Needless to say, I have to return this thing tomorrow (after backing my data up again) and buy a different drive (& start all over again). Not happy.

I was very frustrated with this product.  It worked at home when I tested it; however, when on vacation it would not connect to my phone via Bluetooth when I needed it!  The connection was spotty and each time I had a photo op, the connection would not work.  I bought this because it had good reviews, but I ended up giving up on it.

I was so excited to get this and try it out!

Well I bought this item several months ago, and thought I would love it according to other reviews I read.  I'm just now getting around to trying it out.  Very disappointed.  Maybe it's just something I'm not doing right.  Too late to return it, so I may try to use it again sometime.

I was debating purchasing this item, because it's rated five stars and I thought my son might enjoy it. Then, I checked the reviews. Most of them seem to say the same things and none are critical of the product in any way. So, I checked out the reviewers - nearly all have either 1 or 2 reviews, giving five stars to each. I think there were only two actual people in the entire list. The odds of 50+ people only reviewing this one item seems pretty slim, and for all of them to give it five stars - call me skeptical, but I believe these reviews are either from fake or paid accounts.

It's a terrible practice, and I really hope that some day Amazon does something to drastically deter it.

This product is not what it claims to be. I bought it for all the great reviews it got and tried it on two different products. My first: a LCD computer monitor. I used the product exactly as directed and it cleaned my screen fine, was able to easily remove all the dust and debris off the screen. However, things work much differently on a glossy screen like my laptop. Sure, I was able to get the dust and debris off, but looking at the screen I could see streaking everywhere, and the cloth even made micro scratches all over in pattern with the wipes. Under regular room lighting, my laptop screen looks almost fine, only a few light streaks noticeable. But here's the real test, and I urge you to try this yourself, under direct sunlight the streaking and scratches are clearly visible and stand out. I'm pissed that this crap doesn't live up to its reviews and advertising, the streaking is no different from any other garbage which I mistakenly hoped it would. I honestly have no idea how to get that "perfectly clean screen" like when it was new, but this product sure as hell won't do it.

So, in brief: Worked fine for LCD monitor, terrible streaking for glossy laptop screen.

I gave it two stars for the two instances where i abused it.. One was prying it into submission and a small lip broke off... Two was putting it on a trimmer that wasn't built for it's weight, so the trimmer post end is pulled out an extra inch from its original position... Went back to the old rapid load plastic head...  I bought this because of a great experience with one i bought at a shindaiwa outlet to use on my honda trimmer....
  Should have known, echo half the price and half the impeccability...The shindaiwa one just couldn't go wrong with its better design ,and the Honda trimmer couldn't stress under its weight...  I still like my echo trimmer, but if i had my honda trimmer here i wouldnt even be concerned...
  Any way, i wasted my money on this and give it two stars only because it was partially my fault...
