Yes, of course.  And since we are supposed to be educated and sophistocated people here, you might thnk we'd have recognized and prepared for all this ourselves, before forking over $3k for "results".

But the Fact is that many of us are so sick of the Bad Electricity Problem that we have gone soft on the idea of an easy fix, despite strong evidence to the contrary.  Furthermore, APS knows it, and they work the angle, just like all the other sheisters.

Although I have [barely] managed to restrain myself from sending them money so far, I have done some reconnoissance.  Just from talking to them and from the steady negative feedback, I know that APS are far more concerned with marketing, selling, producing and shipping units than they are with anything as abstract as actually solving the BEP on any tangible level, as far as any given end user might be concerned.  Ironically, you might have a better chance getting hum fixed than you would getting the thing to correct BEP, if that turns out to be a problem at any point.

As to how long it might take them to make good on problems in "the field", I am guessing they will start getting around to that if they think it's hurting (or threatening) the bottom line, IF they still have the capital reserves at that time to launch a rescue mission.  Again: this is where the Mk II, SE usually comes in...

Best case in terms of "intentions", the concern is always that they will "intend" to address problems for a while, then just give up when it finally becomes ovrwhelming.

And there is really no sense in citing "customer satisfaction" as proof of QC (QA, these days, I suppose), since the broad swath of their market will always be Morons, anyway.  They either have it in them to do it right, or they are incompetent fuck-ups; or they are pirates.
