I own an Ancel DS100 and love it. I just purchased a DS300 online.

I figured the DS300 would be plug and play as well, but it's not. I hooked it up to an automobile, and it shows me nothing.

I can't read anything. It's looking for web connections.

Pros:
  • Like the ds100 it works great
Cons:
  • Ds300 i dont know yet
  • Cant get it to hook up

S300 pushes 17psi by design, will blow up your Evap system and Ancel - doesn't meaningfully respond ("contact your seller").

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - S300 is advertised for Evap testing.
  • - Ancel won't explain why it's designed at 17 psi.
  • - Modifications may void warranties.

S300 is advertised for Evap testing. Ancel won't respond to why they designed it at 17psi.

Telling me I can add an aftermarket pressure regulator - to make a brand new product function for the purpose it was marketed and purchased??? To say nothing that modifications tend to void warranties.

The responses from Ancel will make you think at least one person in the conversation is really, really stupid. F Ancel!

Loss:
$100

Preferred solution: Return with a full refund

User's recommendation: STAY AWAY from Ancel! Why but from a company that designs *** and can't respond to your questions?

Because my scanner caught on fire while charging and caught my couch on fire and almost burnt my house down

AI Highlights
  • - The scanner was plugged in and charging with the included charger.
  • - About 20 minutes later, the house filled with smoke and the couch burned through.

My scanner was plugged up, charging with the charger that came with it. I've never had a problem until now.

While plugged up, I heard my chihuahua start barking frantically.

Only after 20 minutes of being plugged up, I came back in and the house was covered in smoke. It burned *** through my couch; it could have burned my whole house down.

Preferred solution: I would like my scanner replaced and conversation replacement cost for my couch

Ancel Tech - Complete waste of $500 do not buy!!!!

They have no phone number, and customer service is a waste of time. I have not been able to access this scam tool since purchase, and despite multiple attempts to ask for help, no real help was given.

I cannot even get them to refund the product!

Furious. Do not set a PIN lock on your scan tool because it cannot be reset!

Loss:
$450
Pros:
  • All cons
Cons:
  • No contact number unable to reset pin lock lost 500 dollars

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Don’t buy and don’t set pin lock or you will throw away $500 on v6 pro

No customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I am trying to purchase a scanner before spending $1K+.
  • - Robotic emails promise a rep will contact me; it's been a week with the same reply.

Trying to purchase a scanner and need information before laying out $1K+. Only receiving robotic emails that a customer service representative will get back to me. It's been a week since I first emailed the company, and further emails just propagate the same or similar response.

User's recommendation: Shop elsewhere
