It's the 21st century. Companies think it's cute to manufacture products that don't work right. Develop, create, and let the customers be the beta testers. I get it. But, even in my jaded view of product quality standards, I still expect products to turn on.

For example, with this device I expected its failures to be inconsistent readings or consistently incorrect readings. I thought I'd have to replace it 2 or 3 times until I finally got one to work properly because that's the norm for a consumer of 21st century technology.

Unfortunately my unit is dead with no life signs whatsoever. I tried to turn it on: nothing. I double checked the manual on how to turn on the device: nothing. I popped out the batteries and went into a better-lit room to ensure I placed them in properly: nothing. I replaced the batteries with my own: nothing. Popped them out and back in: nothing. I went to the store and bought fresh batteries: NOTHING! I probably spent 20 minutes with the thing trying to figure out how *I* screwed up, but it's not me. It's dead.

Doesn't Bosch perform even the most basic testing on its products before shipping them to the stores? Apparently not.

Nice quality control there Bosch.

BTW: This is why I don't buy electronics online anymore. At least I can take this to the store and have it replaced the next day.
