My daughter used the generation 1 PDM for almost two year with very few problems and great service. Took advantage of the upgrade offer in August - LCD screen broke last week - with no known abuse...$500 replacement cost! Replacement came today...LCD screen broke within 2 hours of set up...definately no PDM abuse this time - obvisiously the gel covers set with are intended to protect...not the screen though...oh yeah, 3 pods failed within the last 24 hours...not having a good week!

I loved it, until yesterday when I dropped it and the LCD screen broke (not covered under warranty and is also not serviceable. So one month after starting on the PDM I will be out a few hundred dollars to replace it. And to top that off I have to wait until tomorrow to even order the new one. Customer service is good but I tried to set up my PDM with my Mac and it reset the entire PDM and wasted the pod I had on. There are a few kinks that need to be worked out most definitely and I would really like to see them offer some damage insurance. I have the new PDM and it was the first pump I was ever on.

I'm a mom who hand-documents it all now & I'd hate to think of the HOURS I've spend doing this for 3 years now. I'm hoping this will make my task much less daunting.

And while I know the IOB issue is a problem for some folks, this is the first pump we've ever used & I want to note that not having this feature doesn't bother us at all. I think it's all about what you're used to.

Just called to see if there's a vibrate function that might reduce the frequency of the beeps, but alas, no go. All I wanted was for the darn thing not to BEEP so CONSTANTLY.
