    I have had mine for years and never had an issue - and to be totally honest surprised by their response, I have had nothing but great interactions and dealings with them.

    I have heard great things about the Bandit
    Sidewinders, MC2, Mc 14, MC13, Halo, Lollis, Specific, Diablo. Tried many more

    It seems like I read of a lot of guys on here having to send their Criticals back to the company to get repairs done. I've had Swashdrives Spinner power supply for about a year now and haven't had any issues with it, always consistent. If it ever shits the bed though I think I'll just get an old school, no bells and whistles supply. I've learned that a clip-on guitar tuner can tell you how your machines are running so no real need for all the CPS, hertz, etc readouts.

    I know a few people who've had issues with the critical gen 2's (both cx1 and2) and had to send them back. They did say critical was on point with it and had a pretty quick turn around. I've been using a cx-1, gen-1 for about four years now with no issues at all.

    my friend start have the same problem recently, him gonna buy a new one now, CRITICAL again

    LIFE TIME WARANTY don't mean that never broke, mean that everytime broke u can send back and they fix for u, and u continue pay SHIPPING COST, so depend where are u living respect the factory of the products

    im in ITALY, that every time i need send back something to USA for repair, even they fix for free but cost me 50 or more dollars of shipment ,don't have to much sense

    Not sure how long some of you have had the gen1 cx2's, but mines going on 7 years. I finally ordered a new one because I'm getting ready to travel for the next year and want to cover all the bases. They gave me 20% off a new one as well, which I think is awesome. I've had $200 blu-ray players shit out after a year that didn't get anywhere near the use that my power supply does.
