Customer Review: Disappointed - "Very little value for high price!"
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this based on reputation of another Eton product I purchased. I am very disappointed with the overall performance of this product compared to my FR160. Battery life is on avg. 6-8 hours of play. Compared to the FR160 which gives me days upon days of play.
Technical support did not respond to my initial email request. It took forever to find the email address. Then I had to ping them a second time for a reply. The technical support manager validated other customer comments/reviews that the digital display is a part of the reason that battery life is short. The solution offered was to purchase an AC Adapter. It's a good workaround for home or cottage use, but on the road and camping, this is not an option. The sound quality is also really bad. Had I known all of this in advance I would not have purchased this model for friends and family. I won't be making that mistake ever again.
I guess this is one of Eton's lemons.
While I love my other Eton, I won't be buying another one for a very long time and will warn others not to purchase this model.
