User Ratings and Reviews
1 Stars Worst customer service that I ever encountered
This picture frame did not work properly out of the box. The only way to contact this company is by way of obtaining a –TICKET– from their web page. They may respond to the ticket or they may not. After filling out a number of tickets some bozo called me to insist that I should get a transformer from some other appliance to try with the frame to make it operate properly. I told him that if I did that he would say that I ruined the frame myself. He laughed and said that he would send a replacement transformer power source. That worked for about one week. When I tried to get thru the –ticket– screen that these folks hide behind they kept responding–Ticket Answered– I could not get any further response and still have a dead picture frame.
AVOID THIS COMPANY AND IT’S PRODUCTS IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY!
2 Stars Much as we might like it, it hasn’t held up
Our frame is about 18 months old now. We did like it when we got it, but over time things haven’t held up. After it had gone out of warranty, it started flickering really bad and the support people immediately knew what the problem was: we had to buy a new power converter for it (about[..] from Aluratek). Then a few months later, when I turn it on, I hear it click on, but it stays dark so I’ve opened another ticket to see if a bulb can be replaced or if it’s trash now.
Another tip: I bulk resize my images to fit the frame and get thousands of them on there, but I learned that somewhere around 3,200 pictures or so is all it can take (with a larger memory card, of course). Any more than that and it locks up. The support rep thought I was crazy putting so many on and couldn’t grasp that we take about 1,500 pictures a year or that I might want to put 6 or 8 thousand on there. Why not?
5 Stars Excellent product, great Amazon price and service.
This was a Christmas gift and Amazon wasted no time in getting it safely and soundly to me in excellent time with the high mail load despite my using super saver rates. Upon being received, it took only a few days to get pictures up with beautiful color and resolution. Naturally, it’s bigger at 11″ than most others being sold; yet, not so big that it’s hard to find a place for it in the house. It was also important to me that we would not be restricted by memory and that it had an a/c cord. In short, it came with every accessory I wanted and that was needed to run it the day the box was opened. Today, it’s pictures flow and are a wonderful edition to our family. As always, I searched many, many frames and different vendors on the net before ordering this from Amazon as best value and past dependability.
1 Stars absolute Junk, bought 2 both failed within 4 weeks.
What more can I say? The included SD cards were totally un-usable, the unit looked ok and is wall mountable which is why I bought it… But both LEDs failed with in days of each other, leaving me with a completely dark picture. I won’t buy an Aluratek product again. Total run time was about 4 weeks before failure.
3 Stars Great screen but one fault
This has a large screen and is built very well. I have no problems with the screen or the ease of downloading pics on it. Downloading is as easy as putting pics on a memory card and inserting it in the screen slot (very easy). The problem is the power converter. It went out on us in about 4 months. We’e had to buy another one. Screen good, converter bad. Would I buy it again? Probably not.
