Enzer sucks.

Back when I was a slave, our bunk pooled some money to buy a portable VCD player (reminiscent of a Discman) to help the nights of our indenture pass more quickly. Presumably deciding on the basis of price, the people detailed to purchase an Enzer VCD player from Soong Brothers in Jurong Point.

All was well and good until we had problems playing VCDs - very often they skipped during playback. The solution was to turn the VCD player upside down, so the top of the VCD was facing the floor, and the VCDs then played acceptably.

A few days ago, my parents bought an Enzer cordless phone set (1 base station, 1 charger and 2 handsets) for $100 (it was on sale: usual price $150) to replace the 2-3 year old Philips DECT cordless phones we had (the buttons on one were almost impossible to press, and the second had stopped being able to recharge the batteries a while back). I did not go along, and so was unable to advise them about how shitty Enzer products were.

Today my father, while using the Enzer phone, walked from the hallway to his room, and the connection cut off. I managed to replicate this result even without making a call. Now, I've used many brands of cordless phones, but this is the first time one cannot even be used throughout the house.

As they say: Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, but three times is enemy action.

I sure as hell am not going to try Enzer a third time.

(Incidently, Enzer is a Singaporean brand)


Someone: my fren's family who bought Enzer phones to replace the failing philips ones also experienced shit over the new phones


Me: creative mp3 players suck right

Someone else: YES

Everyone's complaining
