Review (2/5): Very cheaply made. This is not a high quality item. Mine is defective...
It is very cheaply made. Mine is defective. Gotta charge it from a computer's USB port... Before buying this, try to find other real reviews of people like me who didn't get a discount.
I have three problems with this item:
* The button that turns it on and the little white button that keeps it running are not working well. The big pink button doesn't always turn it on, and when it does - you have to hold it very strong to keep the device working. My hands get tired after 2 minutes, but my wife can only hold it for 20 seconds at a time and she hates it. The little white button holds the big button from going back, but it doesn't really work because at that point the device doesn't work.
* I ended up taking the device apart to fix the previous problem. I ended up making it a little better and now the white button keeps the device running, but you have to do it like 5 times to get there. As I was disassembling device, I discovered that they use the cheapest materials possible and the whole thing wasn't designed very well. It's made with the cheapest plastic that crumbles, has cheapest rechargeable batteries inside that will probably stop holding charge after 100 charges.
* Charging is slow. It charges from a USB cable… and there is no battery level indicator.
To be fair, there are two good things about this product:
• When you get it to work – it works fine. I highly doubt its better than any other products out there, but it’s not that bad. It gets the job done.
• It’s nice to hold and use. It’s kinda heavy and big, because it’s made cheaply. But that actually makes it easier to hold =)
Bottom line is – there are defective units out there, be careful. It’s cheaply made and charging will be painful. At $34.95 it’s a horrible deal. You can buy better quality stuff at a cheaper price.
