I have had AI sols for almost a year now and I love them. I have had to deal with AI on several occasions and they all have been extremely pleasant. Customer service and product quality is the number one thing on my list and after hearing about horror story after another horror story about the radions I will not even bother with them, at least not the first gen. If you want, take a look at my build and see what you think.

Radions are such a PIA. I've dealt with seven units. Four had issues that required warranty. Pretty bad average, IMO.

I have had 2 Radions for almost a year and have had no problems.

Me too. I the only problem I've ever had was leaving the USB cable plugged in. That caused chaos

Definitely following this as I'm planning on radions for my new tank.

I've had my Radions (3 of them) for almost a year now, and they work great. Only problem has been the software to program them. Takes a bit of fiddling, and can cause problems if you screw up. But once you have it figured out, no sweat.

I have followed the forums on RF about them, and I can certainly see how a lot of people have trouble with them. But if you are half a geek, you should be OK. While I have not had to call or email them for support myself, apparently they are very helpful, and don't hesitate to replace a unit if you can't get to work properly.

So I wouldn't hesitate to buy more. I will see what the boxing day sales are, and might get a Gen 2 set for my new downstairs tank.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
