" ...  2nd: The thing is made of cheep plastic. ... I thought for some reason this was metal. ... It's crappy looking plastic. ... These are also made of cheep plastic. ... This was such a great concept but it is SO cheaply made.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Love the idea of this but it is cheaply made.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The "switches" on mine were all very very stiff, and I spent maybe 10 minutes just toggling them back and forth to get them to loosen up. ... Given that the switches are the ENTIRE function of the product, it's pretty lame that they're so stiff and awful to use. ... Also, there was a whole rectangular area around the front where the silver finish was worn off by (I think) friction with the packaging it came in.  ...  "

" ...  My only issue is that some of the buttons are really hard to slide.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The buttons are so difficult to move that it pulled the device from wall every time we tried to change it.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The only problem is the buttons don't glide easily from one side to the other. ... Something I thought was going to be a one handed process is now two, holding it down and then sliding over the button.  ...  "

comment
" ...  it is too large to put on a refrigerator.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I glued magnets to the back of this product so it would stick to the fridge.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The sliders do not slide smoothly, and the included mounting magnets are too weak to hold the product to my refrigerator. ... I mounted to the dog's food bin using the included tape but even that is very weak and I will probably replace it with something stronger.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The sliders don't stay locked and so might get slid back and forth if you hang this on a fridge door or something similar.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I thought it was going to be a like a small magnet to put on the fridge.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The included you can hang this on your fridge magnets were a joke. ... After sticking it still slid down the front of the fridge.  ...  "
comment
" ...  My mistake,I didn't look at the size and expected it to be about the side of a deck of cards. ... If you try to slide a marker the entire thing slides around the fridge.  ...  "
