That's a really big "if." The reason we don't have to ship our machines to Segway is because they're reliable products, built in a factory that clearly has high levels of quality assurance. "Reliable" and "quality" - when's the last time you heard those terms used in conjunction with "Made in China"? Not saying there aren't some quality products coming out of there, but it's more than a crapshoot.

But I do agree with you, IF this is easily self-serviceable, and IF it's dependable, then yes, the fact that it offers little-to-no support won't matter. I'm not willing to risk MY money to find out, but I'm happy to risk YOURS.
