Defective balance board fresh out of the box
345239
Hard to know if I completely like it or not since I can't use it. I received the package in what seemed to be perfect condition for Christmas, but was disappointed to find that the Balance Board would not function properly.  It would sync to our Wii U just fine, but the Wii Fit U software wouldn't let me get past the setup stage because it thought someone was standing on the balance board. After replacing the batteries, resetting the Wii system, and completely re-syncing the same issue occurred ("To start, please step off me and press A").  After calling Nintendo and spending 45 minutes doing some additional debugging, they concluded it needed to be repaired.  They wouldn't offer a new product, but did say if I sent it in for repair they would extend the warranty for an additional year.  The catch is I need to wait 2-3 weeks for the fix.

I'll try to amend the review when I get the balance board back, but at this point it would really have to knock my socks off for a rating higher than 3 stars.

*UPDATE (7/30/15)*
After waiting nearly 3 weeks for shipping, repair, and return we finally got to test the board.  Thus far everything has worked smoothly and my wife, myself, and my 8 year old son have all been using it.  There are some legitimately fun family activities that can be done with the board (obviously all turn-based, since there is just one board).  Especially fun are some of the timed racing competitions (skiing, sledding, etc).  For fun factor alone its good, but I'm not sure the fun is worth the price of the added hardware. We enjoy several other Wii games (single player and turn-based) and they didn't require any special hardware.

As far as the advertised reason for this product (fitness), the data tracking features for weight and step counting (via portable "bit") are nice, but not anything you couldn't get by without.  Many of the fitness activities are underwhelming a cardio or strength building perspective.  The one exception may be some of the yoga exercises, but in the big scheme of things, this could just as easily be done with a $20 yoga video.  Over all a very neat concept for human/computer interaction, but IMO not worth the price unless Nintendo starts releasing additional content for it.

In summary - underwhelming when i consider entertainment, content, and fitness value versus price.  3 of 5 star until I see significantly more content.

Returns aren't always easy with Amazon. I have to pay to return the ONE board shipped? There's no way to connect to a human to explain that my "10-pack" of boards came as a single foam board. $48.42 for a single foam board?! I DON'T THINK SO! Geez. Just send me the other 9. I can't find anything on the returns to cover this kind of shipping error. Either I ship back the single board (which I need) and exchange it for the 10-pack, (and maybe have a big wait again for it to be in stock) - or I pay 10X too much for the one.
DOH!

I don't usually post a bad review on a product that's ok but a problem with something else (quantity) but believe me, you don't want to get the wrong thing shipped (or not enough of it) - and deal with trying to just fix it without returning some of it.

My wife purchased a Sole 25 for me as a birthday gift.  When the box arrived, it looked like it literally fell off the truck - it was a mess - but since it was a very expensive gift from wife, I accepted delivery (but had the driver document the damage to the package).

Assembly for these machines is not easy - kind of like a really hard piece of Ikea furniture, but I enjoy that kind of challenge, and set out to do it.  About an hour into the process - I realized that the machine my wife paid over a $1000 for was a broken piece of crap that should never have left the warehouse.  Evidently, the person who purchased this machine before my wife broke off the electronic connector that attaches to the wire that runs from the base into the control panel.  Without that connector, the machine is just a giant paper weight (soldering was not an option).  It appears that the previous owner broke the device while setting up, packed it back in the box and returned it to Amazon/Sole - who then just re-shipped the same piece of broken crap to me without ever checking the condition of the product.  My wife and I contacted both Sole and Amazon about this problem.  Amazon's response has been great - they sent another one and picked up the broken one (now without a functioning delivery box) and promptly credited my wife's credit card when we rejected delivery of the second one due to another badly damaged box (wtf!).  I am still waiting for an adequate response from Sole - who ultimately is responsible for reshipping damaged goods.

Bottom line, everything the retail guy told me about buying an elliptical trainer online came true.  It was a pain in the ass experience that both my wife and I regret.  Buyer definitely beware!

So frustrated. Just got my unit, opened box, took the styrofoam out of the interior and plugged in. I can hear the motor humming but with the top closed nothing happens/spins. The metal bar that is to be removed was already removed and in the bottom of the packaging. The feet are slightly dirty - I believe that the unit was a used one that was returned and sent out though in a conversation it was denied that could happen. Something was rattling around in the unit and I did have one piece of broken plastic to fall out, though I don't know where it fell from and can't figure out where it was broken from. I am now waiting for the return label to come via email this coming week. So frustrated as I had hand washed a sweater only to find out that it was not working.

The display was defective from the start, right out of the box.

Looks like a cool product if the lightboard worked!! And I ordered a new toy but I received a  used item that is broken. Very sad and my son is even more disapointed.

The board arrived with several scratches and large, visible holes filled with wood putty on one side. It is not usable on this one side. The other side is fine and the board looks well-made overall. The finish overall is very light and will need additional coats. Hopefully the next one will turn out better. I contacted company and they would not exchange it for a new one. I have to place a new order.

This came with ONLY the board and (the kickstand part of) the board is broken right out of the box. No knives! I may try and reorder to see if they can get it right since I am obviously submitting a return and the other reviews were very good. Will review again if I reorder and receive the knives!!!!!

New out of the box one side did not work. Not worth the price.

Brand new out of the box (just delivered today). Bad motherboard according to their hardware test. No customer service contact information just a message to carry in to local Best Buy. Also clicking support e-ticket link sends you to a page without an option to submit a support ticket.

Update: Lenovo US has, regrettably, been very unhelpful (screenshot attached). They are unable to verify their own error code. That along with the e-ticket link error has me disappointed.

BUT - Amazon has been amazing. Their team contacted me immediately, apologized, and forwarded my issue for review. Then sent out a replacement and facilitated an easy return. 5 stars for Amazon.

This board at first was perfectly fine, however after 3 days started to warp.  The warping continued to get worse and then started in two other places on the board.  We have sent the board back to amazon for a refund, and will purchase another one.  There is another user on amazon which has reported a similar issue with this board.

The board was damaged.  We did not see this until we opened the box a few days later.  The box did not have any exterior signs of damage.  I think it was packed damaged.

Rowing machine was defective!  The steel plate to which front stabilizer bar mounts was bent so that the stabilizer bar didn't fit - it could not be fastened (see picture attached).  Unfortunately, this defect wasn't noticeable until all the parts were out of the box, and assembly had started.  Also, the plastic housing on the flywheel was noticeably scuffed - damage seems to be cosmetic only, but annoying.  Computer unit was buzzing when I opened the box (!) -  batteries needed to be replaced already.

I had good hopes for this machine, but have to return it.  Would consider trying again, provided that the next machine would be better inspected before it's shipped, and machine's working quality guaranteed.  At the time of this review, it looks like there are no more machines currently available.

Sad quality control. No bindings. No hardware. Deck pads don't stick to board. Still waiting for MBS to ship missing items.

I wanna give this board five stars for design and features, one star for quality control issues. I received one of the boards with memory issues (slot A1 and A2 don't work, if DIMMs are in there the board will not post). But thanks to Amazon's awesome return policy I got a different board

The skateboard rode pretty smoothly. However, the skateboard wasn't balanced perfectly, one side of wheels sat on the ground while the other side was lifted a half-inch in the air without weight on it. Therefore, the skateboard wobbled a lot.

I exchanged the skateboard for another, hoping that I'd get a symmetrical one the second time around, however, the second one was the same way.

If it weren't for that issue, I'm sure the skateboard would be a great longboard.
