The salesman intially said the demonstration would take an hour. 3 hours later they were still at my house, convincing me to purchase this vaccuum. Dont get me wrong this was an amazing Vacuum!!! However the salesman had no concerns that i most likely couldnt afford this vaccuum. He had all these different priced plans, advising the price would normally be 3000.00, however he would bring it down to 2500.00 with fewer payments. He could see that i was still struggling to figure out how i was going to finance this vaccuum, He appeared to be making phone calls to head office to bring the price down and at the last minute bought it down to 2000.00 After calcluating the interest, it ended up costing 3000.00 anyway. My main problem with this is that it felt rushed. I couldnt find 3 forms of ID and desperately wanted him to leave after 3 hours and done a stupid thing like sign the forms just so they could leave. He didnt care that i didnt have ANY form of ID, he didnt care that i didnt know my bank account number, he advised as long as i purchased and signed on the dotted line, then everything else would fall into place. He advised he couldnt come back again as this needed to be done asap. They also took my old vaccuum with them. Everything seemed dodgy, and i had my kids running around hungry so i felt extremely pressured. After they left i sat down looking at this machine thinking what the hell have i purchased??!!! I looked around on websites like trademe (nz) and found other types of machines at the price of 500.00. By this time i was pissed! I immediately called headoffice and cancelled the order and they advised someone would call me to inform me of cancellation procedures. The next day after work these two guys came over again. (no call or notification to say they were coming) They were standing asking me why i wanted to cancel the machine STILL trying to convince me that there is no other like this. They even had the nerve to sit inside and say they called head office and they would lower the price another 200.00. I ended up telling them to take their vacuum and leave my house. I asked them where my original vaccuum was and they asked me what colour it was? I told them to leave and advised them to bring back my original vaccum or else i would make a complaint and slammed the door. 5 days later i still havent recieved my old vaccuum. This whole ordeal was a horrible experience for me and these salesmen were dodgy as!!! Never again

I just set up my iAqualink. Seems to work really well and is certainly more responsive then my wireless RS on-touch. I have the intellibrite lights, and I have no problem setting/changing the colors. I do have a growing list of enhancements I'd like to see such as tracking energy consumption of the ePump and the ability to backup and store the configuration. Given the web interface, I think a more streamlined scheduling interface (drag and drop items onto a timeline) is in order. Oh, and let's get the iPhone app revised so it takes advantage of the iPads greater screen real-estate. For the technical inclined people, the iAqualink is actually based on the ioBridge platform (including the phone apps). It's nice to see Jandy/Zodiac leveraging existing technology vs trying to develop this in-house. Jeff

Did you report it to the police? Obviously with calls being made on it, it's not lying around the house somewhere unless it autodials itself! I keep mine in a holster on my belt unless it's being charged. The good thing is that a basic phone is cheap to free. It's just the hassle. Hope you didn't have any private data in there. Whoever has it though has all your contacts which is not good. That's why I'd have called the police as soon as I knew it was stolen. How it happened? Who knows, but it probably just fell out of your pocket or purse. Could have been sitting in a cart and someone found it there and used it instead of turning it in. I too use prepaid. No way will I pay contract prices! A cell isn't my life - it's a convenience for which I'll pay a few dollars a month but not $40, $60, $100 or more! But that's beside the point. One thing I did was put in "ICE" numbers and then I gave the very first number in my contacts the title "If Found Please Call.." and I have my forwarding number so if someone hones finds it, there's a chance to get it back. A friend gave me that idea when her phone was left in a store, was turned in to the service desk by an honest person and the store clerk looked in the contacts and saw "home", called it and talked to her husband. Was able to page her in the store and she got her phone back before knowing it was gone! One thing though, I won't put my home number in there. I also don't put peoples' full names in there. Sometimes initials, at most, nicknames. Some people keep way too much personal info in a cell phone, especially for other people and once lost, it can fall into the wrong hands. Some keep name, address, phone #, birthday, anniversary and more! A crook's dream.

This isn't a phone brand issue ... this is a battery issue. I've had a Macbook battery that did a partial melt ... my ipad battery is having issues ... my sister had a macbook battery that also charred ... so you should all probably get rid of your Apple products too! My son was also recently having battery issues with his Google phone overheating. Again, this is a battery technology issue. My husband is into remote control planes and he charges most of his batteries in special heat/explosion resistant containers. Just the nature of the technology. I'll continue to buy ipads and I'll continue to buy Samsung phones. My son will probably buy another Google phone. When you look at the total number of phones that have sold worldwide, the number of defective products is very small. I even owned the infamous Samsung Note 7, mine had no issues, but were still recalled. I've owned the Samsung Galaxy 7 without issues and will probably upgrade soon to a Note 9 or Galaxy 10, or wait for the Note 10 later this year.
