NZThe NS EVO2.. The NS EVO2... Do you know Simrad wilfully and knowingly continued to sell these units well after they started receiving complaints about the touch screen? No, neither did we until the fault appeared after the warranty period expired. Their offer when we did a 'please explain' was a " remanufactured" unit (2nd hand rebuilt) with no warranty and half price. Found proof that they knew the screens fail at leased a year before we bought ours. How can you trust an organisation that considers that acceptable business practice? The transducer also has started to deliminate! Doesnt end there. The IS20 anemometer display could never be calibrated with the EVO2. Wind direction always off. Simrad? NEVER AGAIN.

GBPurchased a Go9 in June of 2022 which… Purchased a Go9 in June of 2022 which had a 2 year warantee and it lasted 7 hours then refused to power up. After several weeks, Simrad replaced this unit with a new Go9 in time for the 2023 new england boating season. This unit failed after 15 hours - same problem, refused to power up. They are now sending me a 3rd Go9 with a reminder my warrentee expires in June of 2024. About the time I will probably launch the boat. My other boat has a 3 year old Furuno at the upper helm and a 15 year old Garmin at the lower helm both still working perfectly. It doesn't seem Simrad builds with simular quality these days. Initial customer service seems to be based offshore as well.

GBI purchased a Simrad Cruise 9 I purchased a Simrad Cruise 9. It would be nice if the sun cover was includedq and not an accessory, also a little disappointed that my lake is not included in the maps. I understand that it came with USCoastal maps but i am on the west coast of Florida. All the other less expensive units ive owned have had both. On the upside I do like the unit over all and the order was processed and shipped very quickly even with standard shipping.

GBPurchasing through the website is easy… Purchasing through the website is easy and very effective. Simrad should get 5 stars for that. Unfortunately tech support is hard to reach, and although they are very kind and serious, don’t expect a follow up to a problem left unresolved. Great products, but not easy to use, and support needs more staffing.

GBUPDATE To: I ordered an accessory 24 Feb 2023 UPDATE: I'm revising my review. The company responded to my correspondence quickly - apparently there was a glitch in the finance system. My order was processed extremely quick and shipment arrive in less than 48 hours! There was no fault with the company. I ordered an accessory 24 Feb 2023 - as of today I have not received any response from Simrad concerning my order. The order is a simple power cord - nothing large. No response from any company is a no-go!
