Works Great -- For A Year, But Only A Year
353931
As Darth Vader might have said had he purchased this GPS: "You have failed me for the last time, Garmin."

This was my second Garmin after the one I got two years prior wouldn't turn on easily with the push-button power switch, eventually not turning on at all. Nonetheless, I need a GPS and at the time I had no smartphone, so I got this Garmin. And it served me as well as a standalone GPS can in the age of a smartphones with Google Maps.

But.

A year passed. Then, this Garmin, though a substantially updated design, also began to have issues with the push-in power button. And just like the first Garmin, the power button now no longer works at all, no matter if I had The Rock on hand to push it in. If I want to use this GPS now, it won't turn on unless I plug it into my car's lighter/charger thing. So frustrating, and it really made me wonder how a design flaw like the push-in power button could persist through different models.

The Garmin served me well for a while there, but now that I have a smartphone and a data plan, I'd never go back. The map update process and the power button issue just were too much. Goodbye, Garmin.

This worked really great for like the first year, but since then it's been acting up & only works correctly "maybe" 25% of the time. So most often I don't even use it, cause I know it's going to screw up.  Right after I bought it, I was in a research study on handsfree speakerphones, and the researchers were quite impressed with how well it worked at the time.  Wish they could see how it works now, since it's pretty terrible now.

My original review of this product was 5-star. Now I have to retract it. This speaker worked great for a year, and then just stopped working. Even with brand new batteries, it plays for a few seconds, then there's a lot of static, then nothing.

Worked great for almost exactly one year. When I turned the computer on recently, it booted from the old hard drive that I still had installed. Ran through the troubleshooter which is pretty basic and say check if the drive shows in Bios, unplug and replug the connections. If you still doesn't show in Bios it's time for a replacement if you are still under warranty.

So great drive if you run regular backups, but not to be relied on for long term storage.

It does what it says it does and it still works after a year.

Worked great for one year.  Then the Cable-TV circuit went permanently blue.  I still had a free circuit (labeled VHS) so I moved the Cable there.  Six months later that circuit went blue as well.  Now I have to get rid of my Roku (to free up another circuit) or buy a new home theatre receiver.

This thing just didn't last, damn it!

Great for the time. These seem to die after about a year of use though

At one time I loved this device.  And to be fair, when it works, it's awesome.  After 13 months, it stopped working.  Amazon was nice enough to send a replacement even though the warranty was one month expired.  However, the next one also stopped working after its warranty expired.  Before you buy, do a quick search of videos for repairing this device and you'll see that they have consistent charging problems.  Sometimes it's a mother board issue; other times it's a charging port issue. Amazon offered me a discount on a new one, but I didn't want to spend more money on a device that failed me twice.  I have been really disappointed with the lack of longevity of this product and Amazon's response to the problem.

worked great, unfortunately it only worked for a little over a year.  I purchased in November 2016 and it went out on me at the end of January 2018.  I used it very frequently.  it did work great when it did work.

I've had this model for over a year, and I have used it almost daily on my bus ride to work and have been very happy with it. Battery life is acceptable for me - it does take hours to recharge, but I do it overnight and it's not been a problem.  The sound quality has been great, the remote works well for me, and the antiskip feature has worked well up until recently.
BUT: in the last month or so, the unit skips and outright stops on tracks toward the end of the disc. I just record a bunch of songs on a CDR and play 'em randomly during my commute. Songs at the beginning of the disc work fine, songs at the end won't play.  It's not the media. It's an inexpensive enough unit, but it should last longer than a year.

Worked great for about a year. It was very loud but I had it in a large room behind a couch so it seemed like white noise once somewhat muffled. After about a year of use it got very very loud and then one day stopped working all together. I loved it while it worked and have bought a replacement - it's cheap enough that I don't mind replacing it.
