This one Works!!
Pros: Reasonably priced. Good light output. Motion detection works well,fairly wide pattern.
Cons: Would like to see ON time adjustment. Mount for poles may not last. Time will tell.
Overall Review: So far no charging problems from solar panel. First unit was defective/return. RMA was smooth as usual. Replacement unit was fine. A variable on/off cycle would have made this unit, at this price" Perfect".
You'll be sorry....I know I am.
Pros: Worked out of the box
Cons: Did not last two years You may or may not be able to obtain warranty service.
Overall Review: It worked fine, I only used it twice for two total system backups. The rest of the time it sat on a shelf unplugged waiting to be used for a third time. I use a 5TB drive for incremental backups. When powered on system did not recognize it. I RMA'd it only to have WD say the drive had been TAMPERED with, absolutely no other explanation given. I was also sent the above pics from the RMA team, to show what? I have no idea. This is real unacceptable behavior from them. So much for standing behind your product and taking care of a lifelong (since early 80's anyway) customer. NO more WD drives for me or you I hope.
Good Doorstop, not great mind you only good!
Pros: It holds open my door fairly well.
Cons: It was suppose to read and write dvd media, no such luck.
Overall Review: Purchased to replace a rom drive in a system, all it does it "try" to become ready. Just past return period. You just have to love it or not as in my case. Usually these last a couple of years without failure, Not the last TWO of these. One dead in six mos. and this one DOA! No more ASUS anything. I see a lot of bad reviews of their MoBo's as well.
Pretty Decent, mostly........
Pros: Light pattern very good, will charge fine with only indirect sunlight. Have purchased several. Overall pleased with item. Weather proofing is sufficient.
Cons: The back cover gasket can be twisted during factory assy. If it is it will allow water to enter unit and damage it. I check all I buy. I did have one fail after two months use. Newegg/Rosewill issued RMA quickly. The rub is the high cost of return shipping to the west coast. I am on the east coast. Was hoping to be able to return to NJ warehouse, Nope back to CA. Not worth the cost of return shipping.
Overall Review: I would still purchase this item again and most likely will when they are on sale again. Would like to see an address on the east coast for returns, if and when one fails. This could apply to a lot of items marketed by the Egg. There is still love though.....
Cool,Cooler, Cold.......
Pros: Pretty efficient p/s. Runs cool powering a single GPU/core2duo system. Nice sleeved cabling. Decent gauge wire. Quiet fan. Good voltages, reasonably steady. Passed full load tests. Generally satisfied with Antec product line. Good warranty.
Cons: Lasted less than a year. appears to trip on thermal ovl.
Overall Review: Purchased as a spare/backup p/s. It was shelved for over a year in sealed box. Friend needed a replacement for a older system. Un boxed, tested, installed. All OK for five months,then a few reboots,lockups, and now nothing. Just a note: If you build or upgrade systems for yourself or others I strongly recommend a p/s tester or two. One that can test all output voltages and one for full load on 3,5,12 volt lines. I never install a new or used p/s without testing first. That is a lesson (costly lesson) learned long ago.
Don't hold your breath
Pros: Does a fairly decent job of cooling..mounts good. Newegg service is the best.
Cons: This does no better than any other cooler in this price range. You will never get the rebate. Which makes this purchase a FAIL. I will never spend another dime with a company that defrauds it's customers...
Overall Review: Discontinue selling this brand..they are crooks!
no show
never shipped, no replies, Newegg refunded. Steer clear
