Purchased - Faulty, Replaced - Faulty, Replaced Again - FAULTY AGAIN =(

I purchased this product from Amazon. Received it in the mail, was so excited when I plugged it in, and all I heard was "click...click...click...click". No response from my computer. After researching the forums, I learned my drive was faulty and had to be sent in to be replaced. Fine, no problem. Sent it in, got it again 1 week later. "Click...click...click...click." Same issue. Had to package myself and pay for shipping once again. Got the replacement today. I thought, this couldn't happen 3 times, could it? Third time is the charm, right? nope. SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS THE LAST TWO DRIVES. I received no apology letters or emails, no expressions of concerns for my troubles, or even offers to pay for shipping. I'm through with Western Digital, at least with this product. Don't go through the same trouble I did.

Bought in June 2016. Installed the yellow, cyan and magenta in Nov 2016 (after the original HP cartridges ran out) and all of them gave an error on my HP 8610 printer. I tried rebooting the printer, re-installing the cartridges.... but still kept getting an error (can't remember exactly what it said ...something about "there is a problem with the cartridge"). I took a gamble based on the positive reviews - but I ended up losing 20 bucks. So I bought genuine CMY refill pack for about $67... since I needed to print something critical.

Update - Dec 04, 2016. After my first review, the supplier contacted me informing of an issue with compatibility between the printer software and non-HP cartridge chip. Has to do with manufacture date of the printer (software date) and manufacture date of the cartridges. I was able to update the printer software using a USB cable (I was unsuccessful trying to update the printer software over wireless network) from a given link to HP website. The printer reports "Unable to guarantee print quality...." which is OK. Therefore I have upgraded my review from 1 to 4 stars. Lose one star for inconvenience. However, supplier should include this possibility of incompatibility and the remedy in the description.

I bought my first one and it worked great, loved being able to stick a 16gb card in there for all my songs.  I loved it so much, I bought a 2nd one - that one worked great for about a week - then started having issues - would get 'error' on every song I'd try to sync using Windows Media Player - and then it wouldn't connect - and then it would only boot to the logo screen and nothing (not resetting it a bunch of times) would get it out of that mode (including running the battery down to see if that would help).  I'm returning that one for another one. It seems like you either get one that is great or one that has issues.  As another user said, keep your receipt and you may have to return 1 or 2 to get a good one.  The headphones are unuseable for working out while wearing, so take that into account when you buy this.  Update: I just had a 2nd one die (both were bought used on Amazon) - I think it's related to adding a memory card, they were fine until I tried to do that and load music to them - then both 'bricked' (only get the logo screen and freeze no matter what you did).

BOTH cartridges jammed at the start of use. Machine was working fine with previously purchased cartridge, replaced with the new cartridges I JUST bought, and the first cartridge jammed. Fixed briefly and jammed again - unable to fix. Replaced with the second cartridge in pack, same thing happened - unable to fix. So, I had to replace with the clear tape that came with the device. Working fine, so it HAS to be THIS product. And how much did I spend for 1 label?

I bought 2 of these, and one has completely stopped working!  I need to , hopefully, return it and get a different one or a refund.

I've purchased 4 and only 1 out of 4 is working properly, would not suggest this item for purchase

Unfortunately, I ignored other reviews about unit failures after a short time.  I asked for a refund based on how quickly this failed but CompactAppliance refused to allow a return and just passed the buck to the manufacturer warranty.  Had to call the manufacturer 4 times to get the unit replaced, but I suspect the new one will also probably fail after a couple months.  Overall, I consider this purchase to be a big waste of my time/money.

We've bought three of these - one as a replacement to the first one that conked out just beyond the return period. They are great - for about a month or so! Every one of these has quit working in about that period of time, though one often doesn't notice it right away because you presume it is working while it is out of sight underneath the laptop.

We got one to resume for a week or two by replacing the USB cord, but as it is, we're out $75 and, of course, there is no way of notifying Amazon that this is a faulty product once the return period has expired. I rate it two stars for the first month and zero thereafter. Amazon gets a zero for its lack of having a means of complaining for such an issue. Purchase at your own risk.

This is the SECOND time I have been OFFERED this product via e-mail, and the first time I was sent one set, and then later told there would be no more.  That item was returned.  Then I received ANOTHER e-mail and I attempted to order another two sets.  Guess what.....only ONE was available.  ONE SET does me no good.  I'll buy the product elsewhere since I can no longer depend on Amazon's service.  I used to be a loyal and frequent buyer....now I am just a "sometimes" buyer...for obvious reasons.

The first one, nor its replacement worked. Cost me over 6 hours on the phone with their support and customer service people, which was a nightmare. Barrier after barrier when you try to return defective products. Their goal is to sell to you whether the product works for you or not, just keep it and tough luck.

So far, I'm pretty damn pissed about my purchase. Dropped $300 on probably the most expensive back up drive you can get and since I've had it it's been nothing but issues. Backed up our drives just fine the first time. Then, after upgrading our OS (which said would work fine with TC), one of our drives for corrupted. After days of trying to fix it, we gave up and reset the thing to factory and started from scratch. Was fine for another 2 weeks. Then just stopped backing up. Tried manually, said couldn't access backup. Tried hard reset. No luck. Not sure what I'll do at this point but for $300, it should not be this much of a headache. Feels like a complete ripoff.

Bought these and the corresponding 3 pack of cords, roughly a month ago to replace my manufacturer cord/charger combo that started to give me the "to charge faster..." after 2 years of heavy use. I used my white one at home with fairly moderate use and after 3 weeks it started giving me the same error. So I switched to the black one (using the same cord) and the error cleared up, for a week. Now I woke up this morning to the same error. I will switch to my pink one and see if it works and switch around the cords.

If its a cord issue, I will modify this review, and my review on the cords.

I bought this over the holidays in anticipation of a trip aboard in the spring.  Well here we are the night before the trip and both this one AND a smaller Anker product will not charge! The smaller input (micro usb) is loose on BOTH of these products and the blue led lights will not stay on blinking (and yes, I did google to see if it was supposed to stay on blinking as it's charging or not)...I keep fiddling with them and the lights will flicker on, but then nothing. I've tried several chargers and plugs around the house to make sure. I can't believe I have two faulty connections on both of these things that I own and bought at the same time!!  I've only used each of these to charge my phone once!

Update: Anker CS did reach out to me and was prompt about send me a replacement as long as I had proof I bought it (which I did).  They asked for my serial number and said mine was a known issue.  I got my replacement very quickly, and they follow up shortly thereafter to check and see if their customers are happy (and probably hope they'll change the review).

I waited a little while to change mine as I wanted to live with the product.  It is working fine, and I'm happy with it now.  I'm updating for 4 stars.

Purchased two. One failed after being used less than a dozen times, within 8 months of purchase.

I bought 4 of these only two are working and I had to add electronically tape and needed to talk to someone about replacing or refund. I'm still on the fence.... hoping can get something accomplished.

I have purchased 4 of these over the course of the last two months and each experience has been different. First purchase was perfect - product was high quality and packaging was beautiful. Second purchase was not perfect - packaging was great but product was poorly made (guaranteed I would see loose threads if I tried to wash it, so I returned it and repurchased). Third purchase was just ok - packaging was great, but product had similar seam issues, just less bad than the one I returned, so I kept it since I needed it for a trip. Fourth purchase was bizarre - product is perfect but the packaging was terrible - it came in just a clear plastic bag. No pretty "packaging" like the other three. Of course this is the one I wanted to give as a gift so I'm sorely disappointed.

Update: Dandelion reached out to me regarding my review, took my details regarding the order and how the packaging appeared, then told me to take up my issue with Amazon. Useless. Why even reach out to me, Dandelion?
