I'm gun shy because the pm4b-60 got smoked on its 2nd run, and I have no way of knowing if it was indeed the T, or if it was an over temp issue, or??? It was a very hot day when it happened, and was plugged into a heavy industrial cord, that may have gotten unplugged momentarily? It had only been running for a few minutes when I heard it go poof! then let out the smoke. But either way, it cost me $35 in return shipping, and I ended up with a mislabeled 45a instead of the 60a I paid for. And the one I returned disappeared into thin air, just like the smoke it let out. So, no, I do not have any faith in pm's return policy.
And now I hear others have had similar experiences. So mine is not an isolated case. I'd be very interested to know how many folks have received the wrong unit? Or how many had to be returned because of T issues, or whatever. Powermax can boast all they want about a low return rate, but that convinces me of nothing. I can only go by my experience, which is likely more common than anyone wants to admit to.
That said, other than blowing up occasionally, or the company's inability to handle returns properly, they really are decent little units. ;)
