Same fault twice
I am on my second device which has the same problem - when this item first arrives, there are no instructions in the box so you have to scan a QR code on the back of the box to retrieve the instructions. The instructions say to plug in the device and a flashing light will appear to indicate that it’s charging. It didn’t. I left it ‘charging’ for 24 hours and still no sign of life. The device was returned to Miao Miao and a replacement eventually sent (around 6 weeks later). Opened box, QR scanned, unit plugged in...still no light. Decided to try and test it anyway. Nope, does not work. It has now been on charge for 60 hours and still no sign of life.
If you join the Facebook group, you will see that this is a very common issue. People are just sending off for replacements, sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. Having had two with the same issue, I just don’t trust them. This is a device that could potentially save a life (warnings of lows while driving for example), so I need to trust its functionality, I just don’t trust it.
You are free to make your own choices and some people have had great success with this, but when there are other options out there, I simply could not recommend Miao Miao any less, based on my own experience.
