General Feedback

  • Corsair Power Supply (VS550 550W) fan started making awful noise and had to be replaced after about 3 years.

Bad experiences, but can still be purchased

Kingston

  • An USB key stopped working (losing everything stored on it).

ADATA

  • An USB key stopped working (after less than one year of use).

Never buy again from those

Here is a list of manufacturers I will never buy again due to various reasons. Boycott them! :)

Samsung

  • Don't buy smartphones from Samsung due to Bixby (and poor case design). Samsung is OK for other products though.

QNAP

  • Their NAS / Media Players are way too unstable and are a pain to use in the end. One of two was toasted after a while too. Just awful.

Asustor

  • A bit better than QNAP but not by much. Very bad OS, impossible to install Kodi without a lot of pain. Usable only as a pure NAS.

Dane Elec

  • Bought two SD cards from them, both were entirely unreadable after a while. I lost all my camera photos on them, twice!

Labtec

  • Lousy computer speakers. Only one works out of three.

Razer

  • This manufacturer builds gaming mouses. They are extremely expensive, however my first Copperhead mouse stopped working after only two years (a button was destroyed) and my current Lachesis mouse (80 $) "jumps" all the time. This is entirely unacceptable, my next buy will be a Logitech I guess.
  • Also, their support totally sucks and they don't have any Linux drivers.

ThermalTake

  • Poor quality CPU fan (noisy).

Bork

  • Poor vacuum cleaner.
