RE: Re: Bulk Buy, anyone?

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

Maybe we should wait for version 2 :-). When they will fix all the weak
spots.
This is a new product and there are no reports about it's durability,
because there are no people who have it long enough.
It's mechanical product (moves, bumps), so I would asume that it's more
likely to fail then e.g. audio amplifier where there are much less
moving
parts.
Also, it's relatively cheap, so not the most durable materials were used
I
suppose. Putting those two together, brings me to the conclusion that it
can
be risky to buy it without any service support here, and without spare
parts.
I don't want to discourage you, in fact I want you all to buy one, but I
am
just expressing my reservations at this point. I hope that everything
will
change soon and because of popularity it will get UK distributor soon
with
service support etc.
Cheers,
Nik

  I agree Nik - my place is full of gadgets that didn't really
work
  the way they should (but I suppose - that's half the fun of
it!).

  If it does clean as they say - I'm certainly in for one. Shame
it
  doesn't return to a charger the way others do.
