Folks need more than a few months to give a  proper evaluation. What is great at 3 months may be unacceptable at 6 months.  The ones we gave as gifts seem to please the recipents so far. The ones we use for ourselves have done fine so far. We are in our 80's so our use is not as "heavy" as it would be when we were 40. But, so far, at our age, they seen a good buy.
