i am letting the retail store know about the nasty and outright sadistic handling of the situation.

this business, goalzero, should understand they are going to get a bad rap if they cannot supply support and stand by the products. do

Goal zero was willing to solve all issues free of cost, even a complete refund. Tip of the cap to a solid consumer policy. Issues are resolved.

Defective products ---Lighthouse Core Lamp

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I returned an air rifle and bought a Goalzero Lighthouse Core lamp.
  • - The first two lamps wouldn't turn off.
  • - The third lamp turns off and on.

I returned an air rifle at Cabellas and used the money to buy a Goalzero Lighthouse Core lamp. I drove back home (an hour one way with traffic) charged it up and turned it on.

It wouldn't turn off.

No matter what I tried.

So I drove back (another hour each way) and Cabellas nicely let me have another brand new unit. I repeated the process, charged it up and turned it on.

It ALSO wouldn't turn off. No matter what I tried.

I called Goalzero and politely raised Cain.

They sent me a THIRD Lighthouse Core Lamp, which amazingly turns off and on.

As I asked Goalzero in their on-site reviews sections: "who do you have managing your quality control sections in China: Larry, Moe and Curly? (The three stooges)".

Loss:
$20
Cons:
  • Quality control
Reason of review:
Damaged or defective

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution

Update. The said defective unit now won't work at all.

I've probably used it 3-4 times total.

Each time I just charge it up and let it run until it discharges. I'm 57 years old and have bought thousands of items, this arguably was the worst of any of them.
