Eh, the problem with ignore is it can really screw up the flow of a thread when you read it. For me it's easier to just scroll past if something is really out in left field.
As for the Triade (the topic of this thread), mine is now 3 months old and looking and working as well as day 1. Yay me! Same for my Duo. I've seen the photos of early failure of the finish, and that sucks. It really does. If it were me I'd be upset too. Tearing the battery wraps? Yes, it can be annoying if you're not careful. Part of the fault there is Evolv in not having reverse polarity protection in place as a standard feature of the board. LV could have added the daughter board that Evolv offers that can provide that, but instead went with the mechanical '"Let's try to keep you from stuffing batteries in wrong by adding too much of a lip to stop you". Not a good solution, but whatever. If I'm careful the worst I get is a little nick on the end which lets a tiny bit of the white insulator show through. Not the end of the world, and not going to cause a short. If they get bad, I'll rewrap them.
If someone does manage to defeat the crappy protection system, they'll trip the breaker. Something easy to fix and should have a fast turnaround time for service, especially as LV now has contracted a US service center. Props to LV for doing that, as I don't know (could be, I just don't know) of any other Chinese manufacturer who's contracted out for that. Bad deal if it takes them 3 weeks to change a freaking fuse, and if it were me, I'd complain as well. I'd also let LV know their service center is running so behind as they might not even be aware there's an issue. If they are aware and still don't help, they drop in my opinion of them as a manufacturer.
Otherwise, I can't knock either product from them. I'll admit I'm going to pick up a Therion 133 too. But that's me and my wallet, and I don't expect anyone else to make the same decision (well, I would like people to buy their products as I don't want them going out of business, but I think you get what I'm saying).
I'm also sitting here with an RX200S that arrived today. Nice mod, especially for only $40. Good for me for out and about without worry about scuffing up some leather or busting an Abalone panel. All these mod are good as long as they do their job and meet your needs. And all will eventually fail in some manner. Nature of the mass market consumer product world. But premature failure should be properly addressed, and if not, the buyer is allowed to vent their frustration. But that individual experience probably does not represent the experience of all purchasers. If it did affect many or all purchasers, that company will be gone in short order.
