Don't trust in Emergecy!

I've purchased vipertek's in the past, the price is right! I have a mini version that holds its charge. However this unit loses its charge within a week.  Occasionally using the flashlight at night in our yard, (we live in Florida & have toads that emit a poison if touched) The reason for owning the vipertek is to protect our dog against these toads, the toads poison will kill a pet within minutes. So mainly used for its flashlight while letting dog out at night, but if need be id rather a dead frog than a Dead pet! I was in a position just this morning that warranted the use of the shock but unit was dead. I would not trust this one in a pinch, or u should perpetually check its power, I promise I does not last a month per the promise of vipertech.

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE FEEDBACK FROM NEW USERS! In time, they too will experience what everyone, and I mean everyone, will have happen to them. Purchased unit w/2 yr extended warranty. In a nutshell - here's what happened over 22 months. Initial unit replaced after 4 months....then, replacement unit's batteries failed after 6 months/received new batteries for free from Neato [they said new batteries will be sent] - then, "new" batteries failed after 6 months and now NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY [$75 for another set of new batteries], then - 21st month unit completely failed. Was told by Neato that after the first year, service is outsourced under extended warranty. Sent unit out for repair/replacement on March 6th - as of May 8th no repaired unit or replacement.

Called Neato to inquire about warranty status and was told that they have no way to contact service company to check on status. What? How can a company outsource a service to a third party and not be able to check/monitor the service they are providing to its customers. QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON-EXISTENT. Accordingly, buy at your own risk and if you do, don't bother paying for an extended warranty since it's a scam to get more $$$ w/o extended warranty service.

To further assist my point - as well as those made by many other unhappy long-term Neato customers - look at how many refurbished units this company sells, in every model! TONS! Then look for refurbished Roomba units - ZILCH/NONE! - Roomba units have dramatically improved their vacuuming strength, as well as numerous other aspects of their robotic vacuums. In addition, their newer units have minimal failure [based upon extensive internet research], especially the batteries. So save yourself the grief YOU WILL experience in time with ANY Neato unit..... and AVOID Neato's product line. Those of you with units that currently work [WHEN they work it's a great robotic vacuum] - just you wait....YOUR NEATO WILL FAIL WITHOUT QUESTION REGARDLESS OF WHICH MODEL YOU PURCHASE.

I bought this drive to assist my mother in law.  Her computer is old and I was hoping to avoid a costly data recovery (aka tech rape).

When the "one-touch" software installed, it forced a reboot.  The computer never came back up.

I figured I'd made a mistake so I bought a brand new Seagate internal drive, built it up with Windows XP, and reinstalled the external drive.  Once again, the software installation for one-touch forced me to reboot - and again the computer would no longer boot.

I tried several utilities to recover the data, to no avail.  So I took both drives to the local data recovery place.  They informed me that the file system was corrupt on both drives, likely due to whatever I'd last done on the drive before it crashed.

If you insist on purchasing this brand, DO NOT INSTALL the software.  The techs at Maxtor were not at all helpful.

I had suspected that things had been going missing randomly on my drive, but that seemed crazy...until now. It's a few months old, and when I plug it into my computer it isn't recognized or discoverable anywhere on my Mac, and makes a constant beeping. I use utmost caution, and even store it in its original packaging. I will NEVER TRUST THIS COMPANY with my important material again!

The Nest thermostat replacement, provided by Nest to upgrade an earlier generation Nest thermostat, was installed correctly, and one day later proceeded to heat my home to 106 degrees. Basically the replacement unit was defective, as indicated by Nest technical support, and the base shorted out causing my home furnace to run full blast all day until my return home from work, hence the 106 degree temperature upon returning home. This product is DANGEROUS, especially if an elderly person was unable to flee the house under this extreme temperature, or if pets were trapped in the house. I asked Nest if they were designing any safeguards into the unit and they replied they were not. If I had been away for a weekend or vacation, the house would likely have heated beyond 106 degrees. I was under the impression that Nest was an honorable and responsive company, but I have learned that they do not stand behind their products, and are unconcerned with runaway heating events caused by their thermostat.  Even the manual daily settings I input to the thermostat did not control it.  I received a final response from Nest today, indicating that there is nothing further they wish to do to resolve my concern and loss of trust in their thermostat.  Buyer beware. In this case, you do NOT get what you pay for. But a cheaper thermostat from a reliable furnace manufacturer who understands the danger of runaway heating.

Please stay away, inferior product and customer service. THIS DEVICE WILL CRASH AND JEOPARDIZE YOUR DATA. We lost a significant amount of data and were not able to recover it. The customer service is pretty much non existent. I am surprised this company even exists. We had three of this particular capacity, one was a hard crash, nothing was recovered; one has inconstant performance, we recovered about 50% of our data; the last one is ok for now, but lesson learned, we are migrating all data to custom servers. We intend to use them as door stoppers with asset tags. I don't think this company understands the concept of "truth in advertising". I wouldn't be surprised if there is a class action lawsuit in the near future.

This is not a review of Mighty Putty in general, it's review of the Mighty Putty that I purchased from Transaction Holdings Retail, an Amazon Marketplace vendor. The green layer of my Mighty Putty had become hard and crusty while still in its original packaging. This made it very difficult or impossible to properly mix the green and white compounds. Thus, the Mighty Putty did not function as originally intended. Although there is no "expiration date" or "use by date" printed on the packaging, this product, like most products, has a limited shelf life. It seems as if I was sold "expired" Mighty Putty.

If you need Mighty Putty immediately and don't have time to deal with an expired product, then I caution you against buying from this particular seller. However, if you are a price sensitive customer and you have the time make a return, then maybe you should take a chance and buy from this seller. I'm actually planning to return this product. This will be the first time I have ever returned anything that I purchased through Amazon. Although I would prefer not to spend the time necessary to return a $7.97 product, I think that it's important that the Marketplace vendors are held to Amazon's high standards.

Despite this bad experience, I would consider trying Mighty Putty again. Hopefully I'll get a fresh batch next time.

This is a false sense of security. It continually tells you it is backed up, but unlike other reviewers I have actually tried to restore my system. I only needed 2 programs restored, but it insists you get the whole c:/ drive. Fine except it takes 12 hours to recover from their database and another 11 to download. Then what? There is no program to re install your massive download. I am 23 hours into this and can't do a thing with it. Customer service? No phone number provided. You have to email them. My 2 programs? I had to hire someone to rewrite them. What a waste of money. Nothing replaces a jump drive and manually backing up each program individually. This program will not help you. Don't depend on this program to help you when you need it. They advertise you can download the programs you want, but this is not true. It insists you upload your entire drive c:/ and choosing the programs you want to re install is not an option. Keep searching... this is not it.

In the advertisement the last sentence states "there will be a restocking fee." The reason that this statement mostlikely appears in their advertisement is because they know that it will be returned. I purchased TWO units at the same time; and neither unit worked appropriately. Even after every troubleshooting attempt was made....for both units....the product does not work appropriately. What I mean by appropriately is: Yes, this unit is very easy to assemble, the directions are clear cut and very easy, BUT the ir (infrared eye) within the handle has a mind of it's own. It may flush, but NOT after use without manually flushing the unit....Although, it flushes whenever it feels like it,... such as, in the middle of the night when everybody is asleep, and nobody is around. It's like having an entity in the house. Needless to say, both of these units will be returned.....The company undoubtedly has had this problem with previous purchased units for them to add the disclaimer of a "restocking fee." These units do not work appropriately, and the company should recall all of them, and repair the problems. Please purchase with caution.

God bless!

Honestly, I knew better than to buy an All-in-One unit but I thought I would take a chance. As the unit is so heavy they can be somewhat unstable. We had someone accidentally knock over our All-in-One and it cracked the LCD. We sent the unit to the Toshiba Repair facility: [...] where they state  that a "Replacement or repair of either the LCD" will cost $390. But if you send that in then they tell you that since your LCD needs to be replaced because it was broken then it'll cost you $680; nearly the cost of the entire unit new.
I knew that there was an inherent risk of the entire unit being worthless if one part goes wrong. What I didn't expect was for Toshiba to engage in some rather shady business practices with respect to their repair service. I have filed a complaint with the BBB but to no avail. So, since I refuse to succumb to their unfair "bait and switch" tactics my son no longer has a PC.
Buyer take heed of my experience and beware of this product and this company and their unfair business practices!!!

Misleading in the extreme! Watch out! When looking at this item on the Amazon website, the manufacturer makes a few claims - first that it is "waterproof" and second that it is a "solar" charger. Both of these attributes were very important to me and the reason I bought this unit instead of others. On the surface, both of these claims seem to be true. It is big and bulky as I would expect a piece of waterproof electronics to be, and it has photo-voltaic cells all over one side of it.

However, when you open the box (having parted with your money) you learn a few things. Inside the package, the manufacturer tells you "It can be used in wet environments or rainy days, but should not drop it into water." So, then, it is not "waterproof" by any standard use of the word. The manufacturer also writes inside, "Please don't rely on solar charging or regard it it as the main charging mode." Well, that's great. What if my knife carried a label that said "Don't rely on knife to cut"? What is the point of a "solar charger" if it is unreliable?

Additionally, I've left these plugged in for over 24 hours now and 1 of them has attained full charge, the others are still charging, at least according to the little indicator lights. Who knows? Perhaps I can't rely on them either.

I bought this product because of the high number of stars in the average review. I should have read some of the individual reviews first. My hope is that by giving this product the 1 star, others may avoid purchasing this clearly deceptively advertised product. It is neither waterproof nor solar. If either of things are important to you, keep looking.

I received the inverter from the seller (Ensurpa) in a timely manner. The first big disappointment with the unit was the cut-off voltage was @ 10.8v and the recovery voltage was @ 10.9v. So as you could imagine the unit powers down when it's at the cut off, the battery recovers from the disconnect, then the inverter  detects its over 10.9v and reconnects and the ridiculous cycle repeats. This is a very poor design, nearly wiping out my computer as it power cycled wildly between the cut-off and reconnect voltages. They should be staggered more like 10.8v cut-off and 12v reconnect, as it is in most hybrid solar charger/inverters.

But that wasn't the real problem. The real problem was the unit was sold w/ a 30 amp PWM charge controller built in...not true. I hooked up 30a of solar panels and the unit blew the fuse. I opened it up and was shocked by what I saw. The unit had a blown 25amp fuse and it was glued together on the inside. I doubt it could handle more than 20 amps. I never have seen such a hacked together product. This charge controller/inverter is nothing more than the 2 parts glued together in the case with not one shared circuit.

Upon noticing this I contacted the seller Ensurpa and simply asked for a return/refund. I was told "We checked that it is 30amp (max) controller. For extra safety, 25amp fuse is there. It can take 30amp fuse." Yeah right, my butt! That is totally unsafe and no one in their right mind slaps in a higher rated fuse to fix the problem. Unreal they are trying to pull that! They offered me a "10% and keep the charger/inverter" bribe rather than the full refund I asked for. I ended up having to go to amazon to get my money back as the seller just gave me the run around over and over. Avoid this unsafe product & seller at all costs!!

Thought this was a decent heater (& it was for 6 months). Had it set for 72 degrees.... Checked it tonight & the water temperature was 102 degrees! Everything DEAD. The seller, Coral Aquatics, says it's Finnex's problem. Finnex only has a 180 day warranty (I'm 1 1/2 months past that). Recommend avoiding their products unless you are willing to gamble on a mass kill.

followed the directions to the "T" carefully installing the drive (discharged any static electricity out of my hands first) and just got a blue flash when I would push the power button.  contacted the seller/manufacturer (can't remember which, it was 6 months ago) and got a replacement sent out.  Same exact scenerio with the second one.  I'm going to attempt to return it and find another brand.  DO NOT BUY FROM ROSWELL EITHER.  I bought 4 of their enclosures and 3 of them went down within the first couple hundred hours of use.  I wrote and called them several times and never heard back.  Pitiful.

If you find this review helpful, please click "helpful", so more people can see this and avoid future tragedy.

BUYER BEWARE:
(1) If you have small fish, stay away from this product. (I stopped using this product this morning, so I can't say what damage it can do to bigger fish.)

(2) Unless you are buying from amazon, stay away from this product. Manufacturer will take ZERO responsibility, but amazon does (same polite and efficient customer service from amazon, 5 stars for that).

(3) The product HAS TO BE anchored on a 3" by 4" plastic plate that is sucked on the aquarium by suction cup. Plate itself is not shown on the picture. So the small size of the pump is not really a Pro.

(4) This company will not spend a penny on putting up a warning that might prevent the tragedy that might happen to your fish.

DETAILS:
I received this product yesterday and was so excited to try it out, installed in the tank as instructed, never thought I would wake up this morning and find 5 of my beloved rummy nose tetras DEAD --- STUCK IN THE PUMP!!! The opening of the intake is large enough to gulp in the fish. I have three fish, each stuck in one opening, and two floating around (belly up) with torn up tails and fins. Obviously, the two was able to struggle out of the pump but with the damage, were not able to survive. I have other bigger fish in the tank that are fine.

I have to say those fish are acclimated to the tank for months with no problem, water quality is perfect with 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite. The only thing that is different than usual is the addition of the pump.

Shocked and sad, I contacted the manufacture as instructed on a yellow paper in the box which said [Before returning this item to the store: Please contact Hydor's Customer Service Department for assistant].  I thought this is a sign of responsible customer service, HOWEVER, the gentleman who answered the phone kept telling me there is no defect in the design of the product and will not refund, remedy or compensate in any way.

I told him I was not there to argue with him whether the product is defective or not, but suggested THERE SHOULD BE A WARNING, saying that this pump is not suitable for small fish, rather than have a "Suitable for all freshwater fish" sign on the box.  The gentleman repeatedly said it was IMPOSSIBLE for the fish to be sucked in the pump, but I HAVE THE PICTURES OF MY POOR FISH IN THE PUMP, IT HAPPENED AS A MATTER OF FACT.

Bottom line, if you have big fish, it might work, but with the minimum customer service and irresponsible attitude, I will not purchase from this company again.

I had such high expectations for this. The first night there were a few moths and about 10 mosquitoes and it dwindled from then on. I still have a large mosquito issue in my yard as this has not helped at all. Unfortunately, the return is not accepted now after giving this thing a chance and moving it all around my back yard. I have done everything I can think of to illuminate the issue and this Dynatrap purchase was the costliest mistake I made. So disappointed with the return policy! UPDATE- I still have NO REFUND AFTER THE TRAP WAS RETURNED! DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!!

I am not particularly reviewing this book, but one of the authors, Jorge Olson. Do not trust this man if your life depended on it. This man is the CEO of Premier Brands Inc. (OTC: BRND)and has been linked in scams involving stock pump and dump. The latest was where he defrauded investors by doing a press release which states that Premier Brands has acquired the exclusive rights to distribute Bad Boy Vodka (a Dennis Rodman Vodka). This caused many investors to rush and buy shares of Premier Brands in the stock market. A month later it was found out that it was all a hoax. Innocent investors lost a ton of money as result. Meanwhile, during this period, he and his cohorts were able to sell shares worth about $2.5 million. Since this debacle, no one has heard from Jorge. He disappeared from the face of earth. Is this really the kind of person you want to believe what he writes in this self pumping book or to help you build your beverage empire? Somebody that would just take your money for consultation and disappear? Do so at your own risk. Check him out first before doing anything with him. Search the internet, especially his Premier Brands Inc website. On this website, you will see products listed as part of their brands. However, you will not find any of these products in the market place. If this guy can't market his own products, how do you think he can help you market your own? You have been warned.
