Worked very well when I had it, however as of today after 6 months, it just doesn't work anymore. 1/4 lights work on the switches, nothing in the slots however work.

What I've done with it: Really only connect my Mechanical Keyboard to it, sometimes a gamecube adapter, had 0 problems. After 2 days of plugging in my phone(only with keyboard otherwise) it started to become weird and wonky. All I have to say, is cheap, did its job for a small bit, fragile.

We bought this for our small motor home, intending to forego the need to purchase bags of ice several times a week. At first, it was great --- worked like a champ turning out cubes like crazy fast! We were so pleased. However, after only six weeks, it stopped working...

I used this almost every day for work at my desk for six months. During that time it was great. It did what it was supposed to and operation was simple. Record, plug it in to the computer via USB, no special software needed, extract the mp3 and move on with your day. Recording quality is also decent. However, after six months it just started turning on and off randomly. I called support and they said they would allow me to exchange it with a new model from their plant. That process would cost me $25 and take 10 days. Since I use the recorder every day, this is not a good solution for me. They said I had no other option. I guess you get what you pay for for such a cheap product. I won't buy another Sony recorder.

Worked very well for about six months.  Now it doesn't work at all and the supplier doesn't even return emails.

When it worked it was really good. However a small plastic piece got yanked out of position and now I cant put my keys in the thing. It only lasted like 6 months.

When I first got this product, it work fabulous. I used it everyday and kept in the car at all times. So it was exposed to cold weather and hot weather. It quit after six months of use. It seems like there is a short in the cord somewhere, because it will work for a minute when I plug it in, but once I move my iPod around it shorts out and stops playing all together. Sad, because I really enjoyed it when it was working!

This thing worked fine for 6 months, then the mechanism inside broke. Would not buy if you are a heavy user, like a grade school teacher.

I have changed this from a 2 star to a 4 star rating since I was able to repair it. We will see how long it holds up. If it gets me through this school year and half of next I will change it to five star.

I have a small turtle and wanted to get an external filter to keep the tank clean.  It worked great for the first 6 months.  I cleaned the filter regularly (at least once a month), but now, after about 6 months, it no longer sucks water up.  The motor runs, the hoses are clear and in the correct positions, everything is tight, but the filter has no suction even though I have cleaned everything and put it back according to the instructions. I am very disappointed.

I would have given it more stars but spending over $40 for something that only lasts 6 months was not what I expected.

It was a beautiful appliance on the counter and it made good coffee while it lasted.  But like many others have said, it died after 6 months.  Too bad.

While it was working, this unit was really nice. The rice came out well every time, it was easy to use and easy to clean up. However, after owning it less than 6 months (maybe 1-2 a week), the rice cooker stopped heating. It just spontaneously died. My old unit of the same general make (B+D 6 cup cooker) that I purchased lasted several years before the same thing happened. I am severely disappointed that we need to get another cooker so soon.

Well it lasted 6 months before it died. Was positioned underneath a terrarium on risers. There's a pinpoint hole near the edge where the wire inside apparently shorted out which I believe is the problem. Six months isn't a very long time for something that is a stationary non moving part.

i have had this product 6 months, today it just stopped working. It worked fine and i loved it up until today! I have seen other reviews stating the same problem with theirs. It is probably not worth the money just to take a gamble if its going to work long term or not.
