Ridiculous piece of junk
596136
My elderly mother has always liked my $40 weather station by Oregon so I got her the $100 Lacrosse for Christmas. What a joke. For $100 it should predict the weather and lay out appropriate clothes for you. Set-up of the unit is not easy mostly because of the poorly written instructions. If you make one error the unit will not work. The outside temp reading is a constant 34 degrees when it is actually zero outside. The rest of the stats can't be trusted either. For $100 it should be as easy as plug the batteries in and enjoy (like the Oregon). Tech help is ridiculous. Calling a non-toll free number gets you put on hold for several minutes. The website customer service page says they are overwhelmed with customer questions...I guess I am not only dummy who can't get the thing to work. The worst part is the recommendation from customer service is to go through an 8 step set-up sequence again before calling them. Nice work Lacrosse, sell a piece of junk, get overwhelmed by customer questions, don't talk to the customer, then make the customer figure it out on their own. Folks, buy other brands. Lacrosse is a pain.

This is absolutely the crappiest piece of junk I have ever ordered from Amazon. It worked for about 10 days, then the cursor arrow started to freeze. For a few days I could un-freeze it by spinning the ball rapidly, now it doesn't work at all. This will be the last piece of Logitech chinese paperweights I will buy. I should have read the reviews about the cursor freezing up on this item before I bought it. And it is not a software or driver problem, but probably the laser tracking of the ball has been massively underengineered so as to produce cost-saving benefits in manufacturing.

I have had this pile of junk for over a year now. I will say it's better than the Dell of similar specs that I originally bought - I bought one, it didn't work, turned it in, got another, same issue, got ANOTHER, also had problems, returned it and have sworn off Dell. Got this one, yet another pile of junk. The DVD player doesn't recognize the disk half the time. The USB 3.0 ports are WORSE than 2.0 ports. Half the time they don't work, I have to unplug and replug to get them to work. The computer freezes up on a regular basis and this is with just basic software - forget the bigger software I use - expecting it to freeze up is just par for the course. I put in extra RAM and it doesn't make a difference because this computer is just a pile of junk. I don't even play games on it, I can't imagine all the freezing up it'd do with any kind of constant overload games would do. I find it hard to believe anyone got good use out of this pile of junk. I'm a long time PC user (since Windows 3.0) and this was the one that finally got me off the PC. I'm going to buy a MAC soon. I've had it with PCs. Yes, Windows sucks, I've never seen a software that progressively gets worse with each upgrade like Windows, but used on a pile of junk like this thing - ouch.

This a a atrociously designed piece of crap. Not worth ONE star (or a dollar). Pure s***.
It is literally: "unfit for it's intended use". It should not be sold commercially.

If you like buffering until you try to reconnect and then restart the process for .... 20 minutes, while the unit searches finds looses and searches again for the wifi signal that is 100% strong to the unit right next to it. Only the GRACE DIGITAL RADIO suffers EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE One of the precious few stations the radio actually will access.

Save your money. GRADE DIGITAL is a pure embarrassment.

The POWER ATTACHMENT is the size of a small microwave oven. Weights as much as the receiver.

Has no battery.

ABSOLUTELY USELESS IN THE DARK.  Correction, worse than useless. INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. The only light on the powered on radio is the annoying useless display which is bright enough to be "sleep-proof", There is not a single light on any button, power, preserts, volume. NOTHING. JUST GUESS.

Want dark, to freaking bad. GRACE DIGITAL DOESNT DO DARK. Unless it is on a useful button. That is dark. The light is totally and completely useless except to annoy the user. I guess they could not find an air raid siren.

Want to know the time, GRACE DITAL Will tell you the time,  if you read 8 point type. Really ?

Most features actually do not work. Many were built for services that no longer exist, others are pure decoration and a few maybe you could pay for.

Receives Sirirus, but barely. Won't find specific programming. Just what some jaskass menu writer decided to list for you 15 years ago.
If you ever wanted to know what it is like to be blind, try using one of these at night.

The 10 (pathetic) presents are inadequate and work poorly. You need to find one of those dark unlit buttons to push first, before you find the dark preset button you actually want.

Won't matter. The radio will "buffer" until it tries to reconnect and then restart the process for .... 20 minutes ? EVERYTIME YOU CHANGE One of the precious few stations the radio actually will access.

I used this once to make waffles, and twice to grill meat.  The fourth time I got it out, I pre-heated it, planning to grill some chicken, but when I opened it, the HOT top plate fell off and almost got my fingers. It absolutely will NOT stay where it belongs.
AND the hinge broke on the right side, too. If it can be fixed, I can't see how to do it.
This is a piece of junk, a complete waste of my hard-earned money.
Other people may have gotten one that was okay, but this one is a total lemon. I plan to chunk it in the trash, where it belongs.

Like most things that Cuisinart makes, this is a total POS, and I am amazed that these jerks are still in business making this crap and that their products are somehow considered as "benchmark" examples.  Certainly some other small appliance manufacturer could design and produce something that lasted longer than this over-sized paper weight.  Within two years of owning this piece of junk the work bowl handle developed cracks which rendered the triggering mechanism that slides into motor base (along with the so-called "safety" system) inoperable; the "fingers" of the large pusher cracked off, so that the machine is cannot be triggered pressing it down, and the top no longer fit properly.  It still "works" but to operate it I have to rig a small piece of wood or sometimes a paper clip in the bottom of the work bowl so that when it slides into the motor base, it activates the motor, which means that once plugged in, and with the "on" button pressed, it's on, which is unsafe, but I never store it with the blade installed.  The work bowl issues are due to Cuisinart's penchant for going cheap by having these components made from low-grade, Chinese-made, acrylic plastic that deteriorates and turns cloudy over time regardless if placed in a dishwasher or if washed by hand in hot water.

These schlockmeisters charge almost as much for the replacement parts as the cost of the whole machine: work bowl (bottom) $44.00; work bowl cover $49.99; large pusher: $19.99, which I'd consider purchasing if they were made of glass like a the pitcher of a $50 Osterizer blender, but since they aren't, I won't, and Cuisinart can drop dead.

this thing is ridiculous. the steam it puts out is barely hot. it puts out a TON of water. It's useless for cleaning upholstery unless you want to soak your couch. I can't believe how many positive reviews it has. It's as though none of these people have stopped to consider whether spraying some cleaning solution and wiping with a cloth might be faster and easier than pointing a tepid steam wand at something for thirty seconds. this thing is a total waste of time and energy: there's no way that getting it out, filling it up, preheating it, and waiting for it to mist some dirt away is anything close to an efficient way to clean.

For how much it costs, this thing is really, really ridiculous. It has two fans in it, and both sound like they're worn out and about to fall apart -- whiny and rattling and loud. What a joke. You can buy better fans for $10 at a party store. The tower design is too tall, with an inadequate base, making it unstable, especially on carpteted floor -- bump into it slightly, and you risk knocking the whole thing over. And while the Low setting is too loud & annoying to have on while trying to sleep, the High setting is INCREDIBLY noisy.

The only things that might be good about are the HEPA filters, and the Ionizer; but outside of them, it feels like it's worth about $5. I paid almost $100 for this???

AM RETURNING IT ASAP.

DO NOT BUY THIS HORRIBLE PIECE OF JUNK!!! Nightmare to clean, does not mix small batches well AT ALL, dough gets stuck in the back of the machine, see picture, where bacteria can happily fester. Idiotic design all the way around. Had to use a dental cleaning pick to get dough out of the dies, the tool which came with it is useless, btw,...and, even after having to take the dough out TWICE to try to get the perfect texture and mixing in the Cuisinart, it STILL WOULD NOT EXTRUDE. Ridiculous product. Do not purchase!!!!!!!

Total piece of junk. There are so many things wrong with this equipment, where do I start? First, the instructions say (& I quote literally)... "To reload, FLAKE line into bag, beginning with BITTER END". Lol, if it wasn't so pitiful, it would be stupid. Second, it has no adjustable throw handle, only a strap (they ALL should have an adjustable throw (aka "bucket") handle. Third, They say to "Place loop around wrist". Bad advice! What, so you could get pulled into the water too with a strong current and/or break your wrist? Fourth, they say complies with Coast Guard regulations. Well, Which Coast Guard? Somalia's?
Run, don't walk from this product.

What a complete piece of junk. Everything about this product is a disaster and its hard to believe how its even legal to sell something this horrible. Nothing works. If I could give zero stars I would. 1 Star is being generous.

I've never written a review before, but this thing is absolutely horrible. Save your money. I bought this to help compost the leaves from my small yard and it's failed in every way. The design couldn't be worse. I've had to change the line 4 times already for just 1 small pile of leaves and it doesn't really break up the leaves all the much.

Just another piece of junk that will end up in the landfill. DO NOT BUY

Worst piece of junk I have ever been foolish enough to purchase! Cannot use it for 1 minute before it is clogged. Nothing gets into the canister EVER! Clogs in the hose every time!

Really, an expensive and useless piece of junk.  I tried to make it work and, finally, I just threw it in the trash.  I wish I had done that when it first arrived and saved all the time of fooling with it.

Hooked it up right out of the box, all excited to have a solution to my need of watering some new trees while I travel. Leaks all over the place, coming from the cheapo plastic hookup and from inside the unit somewhere. I should have listened to the reviews. This is truly a major piece of junk. I'm going to try and get one that works from the company or return this to Amazon. The timer mechanism itself seems nice -- too bad they can't use a bit of metal in this thing, as it's all leaky plastic.

I regret having purchase this product. It is constantly shutting off and just connecting Bluetooth. I cannot go even 15 minutes with it not shutting itself down. Totally unreliable, a piece of junk at an excessive price

Apparently zero stars is not an option. Worst piece of junk I have ever purchased.  Misses calls half the time, disconnects easily.  n fact, the ONLY thing it does reliably is call people from my pocket.  I am literally putting it in the trash bin.
