Stay away from IGO products - they go bad fast!
|
| I started using IGO products about 2 years ago. I don't mean that I own several IGO products. I mean that I've been replacing the same powercord over and over again for the last couple years. About two years ago my original power supply for my Powerbook G4 fried. A friend told me about the IGO product line and suggested that I could get a replacement cord for the same price (about $80) but enjoy much more versatility with the new cord. I bought the IGO and it worked fine for about 8 months. One day, however, the brick (power supply) quit working. I took it back to Radio Shack where I purchased it and they replaced it. Four months later, the second brick went bad. I took it back to Radio Shack but this time they told me the return time had expired and I would have to deal with IGO directly. I contacted IGO, explained the situation and got an RMA. I sent it back to them and then received a new one. This one lasted about 3 months and the brick blew out again. Finally, I decided to toss the piece of junk and I bought a replacement power cord from an online supplier for less than half the price of the IGO (about $35). Its worked without a hitch. In the meantime my wifes IGO which we purchased after I got mine, has just given up the ghost. It was about a year old. The ring on the tip split and stopped feeding power to the laptop. At the same time the light on the power supply started to glower and finally stopped working. All told, we've gone through 4 IGO's in two years. Rather than deal with having to return an IGO for a fifth time, I told my wife to toss her IGO and I purchased her another $35 special. IGO looks and feels solid and the idea appears great on paper - buy one power cord to use with a wide variety of appliances. The only problem is that they don't stay working long enough to be worth the high price. If you enjoy returning items every 6 to 8 months, buy an IGO. If you want something that isn't going to crap out on you in less than a year, buy something else. |
