iM7 is a poorly contructed unit [Posted on 2008-06-11]
I bought the Altec Lansing inMotion iM7 Portable Audio System as a present for my boyfriend. i decided to spend more money on a reputable company like Altec Lansing because i did not trust the many other no-name brand cheap mp3 docking stations. I spent over $200 with shipping and now have had multiple things break after only 1 year of use.
First, the automatically retractable cradle broke. Although the unit functions, the cradle no longer closes and leaves it looking very unsightly. When i looked inside, i saw that the cradle is held in by a small piece of very soft plastic, which no longer hooks only the back of the cradle. Although we were unhappy, the unit still worked so we continued to use it. Now the AC adapter no longer works. When the unit is plugged in, it does not charge the iPod nor turn the speakers on. I tried to use a universal adapter, but unfortunately the voltage and current requirements for the iM7 are so high that the universal adapter overheats after 1 hour of use.
I understand that the product only comes with a 1 year warranty, but it is ridiculous that such major problems would occur after only 1 year of infrequent usage. With such terrible quality issues on this iM7 maybe i should have gone with a cheap no-name brand.
konked out before the 2 year mark [Posted on 2008-06-11]
I was really pleased with this from the word go. Sound quality and volume were great for the size and the price. Battery run is also a huge plus and I even used the line in to play CD's pretty frequently.
BUT....
it recently started acting unresponsive. The ipod seems to get a charge and is connected but the sound just isnt there. Its spotty. I've unplugged it for a day or two, came back tried it fresh and it would work again great until I turned it off again. Next day just won't work. I'm looking for a replacement right now.
All in all. It was great and I guess the timeframe is about what you expect these days from a product at this price point, but thats my real beef. i don't want to buy another of the same product knowing it will fizzle in 2 years time.
Awesome sound!!! [Posted on 2008-06-12]
This speaker system is the BOMB!!! The sound quality is almost as good as BOSE. The bass rocks!! I'm from Hawaii so I purchased mine from Costco to save me shipping costs but Amazon has a pretty economical price on it. If you don't want to spend over $300 on a BOSE system, get this one, you won't regret it. Another + is that it is so portable. Also runs on battery or AC.
AWESOME!!
stay away, stay far away!! [Posted on 2008-06-18]
this thing sucks!!everytime I use it, I want to throw it out of my window!!
