Bad reviews clustered in the past couple months, not good. > Aw great! The good news is the ones here are older so hopefully before > they cheated in manufacturing. KM> Likely so -- if they haven't burned up yet, they're not going to. Anyone else else thinking "burn in test"? KM> That's typically the case with Chinese junk -- at first they're KM> hunting a market so there's some effort toward better quality. KM> Then they start coasting and quality goes into the toilet. Or the beginning production runs use a higher wattage resistor because cheaper is smaller quantities (will this mug warmer sell?) and when found it does use a slightly smaller wattage becuase cheaper in the huge purchase quantities. The problem is that particular wattage barely holds up: but of a voltage spike -- bye-bye! > One thing I don't like about Amazon reviews is they sometimes have > combined reviews: the item being reviewed is sold by the seller but > otherwise has nothing to do with the item at the top of the page. > (Sloppy example: I'm looking at a monitor but the review is for a > radio.) KM> Oh yeah. For a while they had an option to see only reviews for KM> THIS product, but that seems to have vanished again. I don't recall that option but it would be nice. And speaking of Amazon sorting, sometimes their 'search for' option and requirment list on the left are cuckoo! I was looking for a 5v fan with 3 pins (plus some other specs) -- why are you showing me 2-pin fans? Click in: nope, no multi-pin option. Same with showing me 12v fans with no 5v option, etc. Tried quoting the desired spec: sometimes a little better. KM> It's a lot of why I only pay attention to negative reviews. Here too: if I'm interested in the product I really don't need anyone to cheer me on. I am, however, interested in one's experience: parts missing, alignment, sturdiness... some option which would be nice ot had but not thought of until later..... ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® ....
