LOW QUALITY! OVERHEATED THEN STOPPED WORKING AFTER A FEW WEEKS

When I first added this pad too my old cat's bed, it seemed that he was getting too hot and would turn around, switch places, trying to be comfortable. Now, 4 weeks later,  I have noticed that the warmer no longer works This purchase was a total waste of money. It is 10 days to late to return the junk, unfortunately. Don't buy!

Only had this for less than 2 WEEKS and it already stopped working. Working in a sub-zero temps office (atleast that's what it feels like most days) and was really excited to have this at my desk. Went to turn it on and there was no "click" when go from off, warm, hat. The light comes on, I can still smell the new plastic smell, but no heat. So disappointed! I guess you know how it goes...you get what you pay for. :(

Bought this fan 6 weeks ago, and it worked great...until I turned it on today and it was dead. The power turns on, and it still ocsilates, but no air comes out of it, regardless of the setting. Extremely disappointing - granted, it's one of the less expensive tower fans, but still - I expected more from this brand, and I certainly expected it to at least last one summer! And of course it dies just after the return period, so I can't get a refund. A total rip off!

Worked great for the first few times, then just said it was over heating because I guess the wire was melted in some way. Not sure what happened, but a big waste of money!

My unit worked fine at first but didn't last long. After only a few weeks of occasional use, I began to see I/O errors  when trying to use drives mounted on this device. Quite disappointing for a product that promises "portability, flexibility and convenience". Doesn't cost much but I feel I wasted my money. Do not buy!

I ordered two of these, one for me, and one for my son.  Both stopped working within just a few weeks of getting them.  His stopped playing in one channel, the in-line controls stopped working on mine.  For such an expensive cord (over $25), it is really poor quality! I feel completely ripped off.

Low quality lights that are extremely warm borderline hot to the touch after 30 seconds of turning them on?  Power supply and all hardware is extremely low quality, I don't see these lasting for too long.  For example, main connector had to be taped so that it wouldn't come apart during installation.  Very disappointing, would not purchase these lights again.

I used these for a couple of weeks and they stopped working. I wish they had a returned or  a contact seller option!

This product is a waste of money that stops working after a few hours as it overheats.

I already own four external USB hard drives, but I was running out of hard drive space, so I shopped around on Amazon. At the time I bought it, this Cavalry hard drive was the least expensive 320GB external USB hard drive on Amazon. In this case, the adage that "You get what you pay for" was true: this cheap and shoddy hard drive failed within a few hours after I plugged it in.

This hard drive was delivered in cardboard and foam packaging rather than in a retail display box like most external hard drives usually are. That was a little suspicious, but I was willing to overlook that. Perhaps the manufacturer always shipped direct, without using a retailer middleman, so that the lack of a display box was not an indication of inferior quality.

I was initially pleased when I took the hard drive out of the box. It was 4.5" x 8" x 1.3" as advertised, a decently small size. The design is blocky and rectangular, which I consider superior to the curvy designs out there, as it facilitates stacking in my multiple-hard-drive set-up.

The power cord was sufficiently long, which was good, and the power cord fit snugly into the power connection on the hard drive (some other hard drives I've owned in the past have had problems with overly-short cords or loose connections that easily came out). However, the first strike against this hard drive was the AC adaptor, which is very wide and clunky, taking up the space of a full three slots on a power strip unless you plug it into the slot at the very end of the strip.

Anyway, I plugged it in, turned it on, and began using it. For the first four hours, everything worked fine. Then, suddenly, the hard drive stopped being able to copy files if the total filesize of the files was greater than 100MB. Nor would it copy single files of size greater than 100MB. Obviously, a 320GB hard drive that can't deal with comparatively small 100MB+ files is virtually useless.

It was at this point that I noticed that this Cavalry drive was much, much, MUCH hotter than my other four external hard drives. Clearly, the drive had an overheating problem, though I wasn't sure at first if the heat was directly linked to the problem with the files.

I spent hours trying to determine whether there might be any other source of the problem. I am a database programmer and web administrator, so I do know what I am doing, and after several hours of trying different things and a great deal of frustration, I was still unable to get the hard drive working on managing files >100MB. I'm certain that the problem was with the Cavalry hard drive (because all my other external hard drives were working fine, and because the Cavalry did not work no matter which of my several computers it was plugged into).

I turned off the hard drive and went to bed. The next day, the Cavalry hard drive having cooled down, I turned it back on and tried it again. The same thing happened: it worked at first, but after some use, it stops working on files >100MB. Only this time, it took only about ten minutes (just ten minutes!) before it stopped working.

In summary, I am hugely frustrated and angry with this piece of hardware. I want to return it, and I do not ever intend to buy a Cavalry product again. I am especially concerned because many of the reviews on the 400GB Cavalry hard drive (which seems much more popular and has many more reviews than this 320GB Cavalry hard drive that I bought) mention the same problems with overheating that I had with this 320GB Cavalry hard drive.

This was a great disappointment! The features are ok for the price, but this thing just stopped working in two weeks!

Low quality. After 2 years of infrequent use it stopped working. One day I went to use it and it wouldnt turn on although it worked fine the last time I used it. I wouldnt be surprised if i used it daily but I only used it maybe once a month.

Pretty poor quality device. It worked great for 2 weeks, then the timer stopped working. It would only come on if I turned it on manually. Did like the dual outlets. Woods, fix your quality control. I'd pay a few more bucks for a quality device, which would probably mean 10 cents for you.

Horrible quality, this product stopped working after a few weeks of use, and I didn't used every day and when I did was just for a couple of hours, now the light won't charge so therefore it doesnt work!

Inconsistent. Inaccurate. Poor quality. Within just a few weeks the back magnets have fallen off and the unit bounces between temperatures that are obviously too cold and obviously too hot. Don't waste your money.
