I think the consensus is in on this subject (as it was for years in the archives). Years ago I didn't believe the archives and bought a = Cochran Commander Nitrox (right when they came out). It actually worked for a = few dives. After about =BD a season it started calculating funny = repetitive dive profiles where had I hung the required amount I would have needed a "K" bottle strapped to me as a stage bottle. Since then I think I've sent = it back every season for one reason or another. =20 I have not had any problems with their customer service, I've always = dealt over email and they always gave me an RMA where I got either a new unit = or my old one back in about a month or so. Can't complain about the = repair service as they have never charged me and luckily the problems with the = unit never effected the bottom time, only deco time. Now I use it as a = bottom timer. The depth and bottom time read-out work great (not that I don't carry a backup timer anyway). So far the unit's worked great this year = in bottom time mode so maybe this will be the first season I don't have to = send it back! If they ever charged me for a repair I'd just run out and buy another bottom timer.

I had one years ago and after it sixth repair I bitched = at the company so hard they refunded my money, not the store I purchased = it at. The secret was to tell them that working in a dive shop and as an = instructor I had access to hundreds of divers and would tell everyone I ever came across how terrible their products were: I also used some profound descriptors while talking to the service manager about the company, = their service, and their products. They refunded my money to keep me quiet, = I bought a bottom timer and still speak vehemently against them. Might = not work for you guys, but it worked for me.
