Did not function suitably out of the box and product is being returned. That being said, other UJC-750 machines have held up so most likely the one bad one in the batch.

We bought the GMC205Pi from costco.com.  We fed it about 5 sheets at a time for 5 minutes and then checked the basket.  The shredder was quiet, and the paper was well-shredded.  But, after reinstalling the basket, the motor was apparently frozen up and it reported "Overload" on all subsequent attempts to insert a single sheet of paper.  The cutting blade didn't move at all when the Forward or Reverse button was pressed.  Power cycled, and allowed to cool down for a few hours, but it didn't help.  Costco swapped out the defective unit, no problem.  But I can't help but wonder how much it would cost me for return shipment if I had to send it to the manufacturer for in-warranty repair (it was a 74-pound shipment).

A replacement unit (same model) has been working fine for several months, and has produced about 5 buckets of shreddings.  Increased my rating to 3 stars since the replacement unit is working, but it's still a 50% failure rate.

Both units had minor cosmetic issues/scratches when unboxed (they were supposed to be new, not refurbished).

I was also hoping this unit would accept standard kitchen garbage bags but it doesn't (the bin's circumference is too large).

I got three of these for a RAID array I wanted to create for nightly backups. Of the three, one didn't work right off the bat: Amazon had to send me a replacement. I then configured the array and it's been running since September. Now, three months later, the first of the drives gave up. Lucky me, the array itself is not affected and I'll just have to get a replacement. Turns out, though, that the warranty on the Elements drives is of only one year. The other drives in the family have longer warranties.

I won't consider WD at all for future hard drive needs. It may just have been bad luck, but a manufacturer that isn't willing to back their product for more than 12 months and who has a failure rate of 50% after three months doesn't give me a whole lot of confidence. If you think my case is an outlier, you should still consider looking at the WD drives that come with longer warranties. As I found out, it's absolutely worth the few extra dollars.

Maybe this is just bad luck. But we ordered a new model.  It didn't turn on.  Two hours with Toshiba troubleshooting.  Not very helpful, despite that the serial # HAD ALREADY BEEN REGISTERED.  Amazon, however, seemed genuinely embarrassed and sent us a new one within 24 hours.

The new one lasted about three hours.  Windows 8 problem? Toshiba problem?  Frankly, don't give a damn at this moment.  After four  days of frustration, we are out $30 in shipping fees after returning two defective (supposedly) brand new Toshiba U-945 series laptops.

I've had a grand total of 3 of these machines in the past few years.  One for myself and one for my parents. The EC702 does put out a very good espresso for its price, and it is easy to use.

HOWEVER - The high pressure pump inside the machine regularly fails. One of the machines failed after just a few months, another went strong for close to 2 years with occasional use before failing. The third one was a replacement (warranty) of the first one, which also failed after about a year of use. Stay away - and find a machine with a pump that lasts...

Have bought four for a Drobo and one of the drives has failed in light use after only about a year. Also they are slower than ideal and don't handle contestant reuse (the system on these drives prefers you write to it once and leave the data there).

I've purchased over 6 25 packs over the last few years with most of them having an under 20% burn failure rate which I can live with.  This last batch fails 2-3 disks out of 4 consistently for the whole 25 pack.  I used to trust Verbatim but now have to look elsewhere.

I buy 4 of those in 2 times. 1 st time, one is good and the other just weak like our old machine. The 2nd time just over a month ago and opened them couple day ago. They both so weak almost like our broken one. Idk if they gave us the used one or not but I won't buy item here again! ....

Several reviewers have pointed to a problem with the unit freezing at chapter boundaries and also occasionally breaking up into large pixels.  However, being an optimist, I figured this was just the few people that got a bad unit and there must be hundreds of others who have working units and didn't bother to write a review.  Right?  WRONG!  I bought the XVN410BK's twin (the XVNP10S which has all the same stuff but adds multimedia card reader).  It has all the same problems reported by the other reviewers.  I'm guessing this is a design flaw in either the processor chip(s) or the laser/drive unit.  Guess I'll be buying some other brand from now on!

I purchased two of these for my two JKs. One of them has already had issues after having it on the JK for a week and seems to be leaking out red liquid which means its probably blown out. The other one seems to be doing fine but makes me question the quality of the stabilizer.

Surface skimming is really important and the Skim does a good job, so I decided to get one for myself this week.

As can be seen in the attached video, the motor is running but the impeller does not turn properly.  So I ordered a replacement which arrived the next day.  To my great annoyance, the new one was ALSO defective!

Examination of a working unit at a friend's revealed that the blue impeller and magnetic cylinder are supposed to be attached to each other and that's why the impeller wouldn't spin properly and the powerhead wasn't doing its job. It looks like there was supposed to be some kind of glue job between the two parts but something wasn't right with the manufacturing process.

Fortunately, the problem is easily remedied with some super glue. If you have a bad one, put the glue on the shaft and the bottom side of the top of the blue part and it should be fine.

I squared away my end of it with Amazon and let them know they have a bad batch. I'll also contact Eheim. In the meantime, be prepared to get one elsewhere or find your bottle of super glue.

Edit: I've found by reading other reviews that this is a recurring issue going back at least two years.  Wow.  Great QC, Eheim.

Ordered 4, all 4 were absolute junk right out of the box. The only reason I gave 1 star is because they don't have negative numbers. Normally meh, but this time 4 out of 4 bad?!?!? C'mon.....
Update: We now have 8 out of 8 that are bad.  We have been using V4Ink since November 2015 for all of our desktop printers.  Until lately, they have been great.  Now they all seem to be useless.  We have contacted V4Ink and they have agreed to replace the toner.  They are doing the right thing, but it is discouraging to have suck broad quality issues.  Maybe there were some bad batches. I will update when we receive the new replacements.

Update- V4ink did send replacement toner and they all worked, so we are satisfied. There were visual differences in the cartridge designs. Hopefully We do not receive any more of the faulty. It does seem that it was isolated to a batch if defective toners.

Although rated high on here, I can't give a full-fledged recommendation.  Like other user experiences, it will work well for the first batch or two of items, but its performance begins to degrade and your items will get stuck in the machine itself.  It looks cheaply made, and is such.

Bought DEDC and one was bad right out the bat.  Replaced it with the good old one until the Bilstein showed up.  The other side of the DEDC is sounding bad as well.  I had the bilstein for over a month now with no issues.

I just wanted to alert potential Brikka buyers that there may be several batches of defective Brikkas floating around on the market. So far I've gone through three of them and all three were defective -- very poorly machined, sharp jagged edges, gaskets that don't fit, loose safety valves, flakes of metal floating in the brewed coffee (not good!), etc. Maybe I'll try again at some point in the future once the defective batches have disappeared. Hopefully Bialetti's quality control will improve by then.

On the bright side, Amazon makes it very easy to return defective merchandise. Kudos for that.
