I aboslutely loved the curling iron. It was kind to my hair, the curls it produced were great and I was just getting use to it being my favorite and boasting about it. I owned it for almost 6 months, and it just died yesterday. No heat whatsoever. I'm really sad and disappointed in this product. :C

I have owned this device for all of 6 months but essentially it died after 6 weeks.
When i power it on, a green LED lights and it communicates with the host PC long enough to successfully install a device driver....about 20% of the time. Usually it doesn't get that far. In any case it hasn't shown more than 4 minutes 'communicating' uptime in a row in the last 4.5 mos. The Red LED lights & stays lit.
What makes me sad is that every other Buslink i've owned has been great, so I mistakenly stored really valuable data on this one....only to be disappointed.
Anyone know a good HD recovery program when the partition isn't even visible to windows? Please advise, thankyou!

This amp is great in all ways!! Powerful and easy to operate. I have had this for 6 months only, and just yesterday my subwoofers went dead. I check the subwoofers by hooking them up to an external output and they work. I go back to the amp and it's on and green light is showing. And I'm getting an output too, shown by a volt meter, so the RCA inputs are fried on the amp. Didn't last past 6 months.

Died after six months. Transmitter gets super hot. Look at elsewhere.

Update: unit replaced by Cistoemr service. Very helpful. Back to working great.

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.

Bought this in February because I only had one port at my work study job for needing to charge my laptop, cell phone, and ipad. Daily use from Feb to May and the about twice a week from May to July. It died in July. Good product but  beware it will not last more than 6 months.

This worked great for 4 months and just died yesterday. I'm so disappointed as I had zero issues until that point. I used it frequently, 5 days per week at my job. Worth the $12.99, I suppose.

The device was finally replaced and works great.
Z----/////
This device died 3-4 months after purchase. Wouldn't take a charge and heated up like a toaster. I contacted customer service who said they'd have a replacement to me in 4-5 days. It's been two weeks. I'll update if I ever receive it.

This feeder works great.  Fairly easy to set up, and I really enjoyed being able to control the amount of dog food for each meal.  I was disappointed though that after 6 months it stopped working.  Tried changing the battery and reprogramming but it no longer releases food.  It's too late to return it so I am super bummed!

Everything works great, except after 2 months it suddenly died. Charged the battery for hours and hours, unplugged and plugged in all cables - nothing. Could not find any english documents online. Last try was to pull out the battery and put it back in again. Viola - the unit came back to life!
Battery is slightly too small for the battery compartment, so I imagine it could have gotten shaken so that the battery/unit contacts were not mating well. I may try putting a napkin or something in the compartment to shim the battery and hold the contacts better.

This worked great for me for a few months but then suddenly just died. I contacted the company directly and they did send me a replacement unit promptly without question. However, I had to pay to ship it back but I must say I'm a bit concerned it could just die prematurely again without notice. I now keep my old USB Tascam US-144 unit handy as a backup which I've had for over 8 years and still works. My only reason for upgrading was the hope for increased Thunderbolt performance. Plus, the US-144 no longer seems to be supported with new drivers. I hope my first unit was just a fluke but others on here have expressed the same reliability issues so not holding my breath.

I can see!! I can see what I'm working on, clear as day. YES!
Edit: I COULD see. After 6 months of happy use it just stopped working. Not just one light - both are dead.  I guess $30 doesn't give you too much quality these days.  It probably would seve you better to choose a bit higher quality/price if you want it to last.

Edit 2:
I've moved my review to 3 stars. 2 of them are due to customer service by "fasthomegoods" - who immediately sent a new lamp when I wrote that the old stopped working after 6 months. Great service - and for that reason I would not mind purchasing from them again. HOWEVER - the lamp received was malfunctioning too. While I await to hear from fasthomegoods if they want the replacement lamp back, I started working on my 6 month old lamp trying out my "theory" that it was just the power supply.

The lamp claims to be 1amp - however, the light draws at least 1.2-1.5 amps at 12volt. The included power adapter was D-E-A-D - I'll have fun taking it apart later. Plugging the lamp straight into my bench power-supply at 12v everything worked - lights galore!. This is where I noted that it draws way more than 1amp. This is most likely what causes the cheap chinese adapter to fail.

The solution is easy - get a 12v 2amp power supply, and replace the old. You'll note that one of the black wires has a green dotted line on it - that's positive! So it's very easy :)  I used a simple DROK voltage regulator/constant-current protector in between, but that's not required.  If you do get the regulator, if you spend a bit more than $10 you can get adjustable current supplies, which means you can now dim the lights!

I now have nice bright light again, which is very adjustable.

it worked great for six months....then died.  it definitely kept my laptop cool but beware after six months you may be looking for another one!

I have used this for about 6 months, and have been decently pleased with it. Yesterday it just died and will not even turn on. The opening screen comes on when I connect it to the computer, but other than that DEAD ..

Well after calling customer service, (not the brightest person)and updating software it is running again. I am cautiously optimistic.

Worked great for about 6 months and then died. Only used indoors in a climate controlled room.

I used this for about 6 months for occasional incremental backups from my desktop.  Today it failed to turn on or power on the drives for no apparent reason.  The drives did get awfully hot during normal use in the past, sometimes above 45C.  I replaced it with a SIIG SATA to USB 2.0 dock with fan and there is a noticeable temperature difference.
I don't know if I would recommend this to anyone considering how hot the drives become under normal usage conditions and the unexpected failure after just 6 months of occasional use.
