Five-star reviewers: What about the negative reviews issue of air-tightness? Product problem or operator error?

I don't know if you are looking for a 'vacuum' seal. I can fill it with sugar (3 lb.) and pick it up by the lid edges and it holds perfectly. They're great.

For what I use this product for I"m satisfied. I didn't purchase it with high expectations. Hope this is of help

Sorry, I'm no help on these issues. Maybe the product has been changed since my purchase but I've not had these problems.

I have had no issues with moisture, etc. so i would say they are as air-tight as needed for standard household usage.

Have bought it for several years and there has never been a problem with it oxidizing. In fact, I am really surprised that anyone is even making such a comment that it does oxidize, because the pressurized container is air tight and one can only get the solution out by their special "contraption" that releases the solution. Could be the comments are coming from a competitor trying to attack the product, and maybe they are not familiar with the protective packaging. People do that you know (smile).

I didn't have any issues with improper threads on any of the items...I think I got my unit about a year ago...Hope this information helps. Jerry

I would suspect operator error. I have had no issue with the unit. Obviously safety must be observed when using. Not manufacturers issue

Check with Q Industries customer service. I have found them be very responsive. I had to replace the air hose as it came apart after several years use. I wrote a review and in the review complained that the plastic catches on the bag broke when I was putting the compressor up after replacing the hose. They evidently read the review and sent me a new bag free of charge.

That's a good question. I didn't worry about it because the price was right for a quality brand. I don't see any problems arising but I probably should have thought more about that. This likely won't help but that was why I purchased the product, quality and price.

Hmmm, the primary "problems" (disconnection/reliability) with the v1 were almost certainly traced back to the overheating problems as far as I understand. So the real hope is that the v2 would address that design problem (aside from the cost-reduction angle, that is) with possible heat-sink or ventilation improvements. Or so I am hoping.Either ways, Dogma512 and Tusker, thanks for your note and would appreciate your comments on how you are finding the v1 units. How are they doing, especially on the reliability front ?

I bought one after the bad reviews, and have had no problems. I am entirely pleased with the product. That doesn't answer your question, I know, as clearly it wasn't a 100% failure rate.

Same feeling here. I have never seen a product with 93 5-star reviews and only 1 one negative, 1-star. Nothing in-between. Seriously??? Plus a number of people have mainly Ozeri reviews. Plus all these reviews are extremely frequent: one every few days. What are the chances???

I noticed that Robert Evan's negative review appeared by many of the Honeywell's heaters, albeit they are different models--For example, note the same negative review appearing by HZ-617 and HZ-817. Specifically, which product did Mr. Evan's buy? Each model has different characteristics. I suspect that Mr. Evan's experience was so traumatic with whichever heater he bought that he is turned off on anything associated with Honeywell heating. And negates all their heaters. Note that the same review appears by other Honeywell heaters. Could Mr. Evans respond and tell us which heater--specifically which model--he purchased?

Well, it has a number of 1* & 2* and a bunch of 5* (five stars rating). Is their product control so poor that some are good and some are bad?

I actually hadn't even noticed until I got your message and checked. The fit is a little loose but that does not appear to harm the functionality. The attachment is very secure--it is not as though the "looseness" is an indication of a poor fit. It may actually be part of the design--you want to be able to easily detach, empty, and reattach the bottom unit. IMHO a "tight" fit would more likely jam if there were any foreign articles or dirt in the way.

If you look at the comments from 2011 & 2012, you will see if there are problems with this product. On the other hand, if you look at the comments made in the past year or so, the product is perfect, suddenly. You have to wonder if these are true reviews or those manufactured by the manufacturer. Possibly, they changed the material of the product itself and improved it. I found another product that works well and has given me no problems. http://www.rangekleen.com/index.php?cPath=13_315

Hi, I bought this for a custom laptop we built for a customer. I haven't heard of any problems or complaints at this time. He seemed very pleased with the machine. I'm not using it of course, but he is a younger "gamer" type user, and I'm sure if there was an issue with it he would have brought it up. Hope this helps,Martin

I've now read the 4 one-star reviews. One of them wasn't based on product performance but rather on problems with the seller's shipping of the product. I must say that I received mine promptly with no problems. With regard to the others, I can only speculate as I did earlier.
