XILETU LS-6A Reviews

Useless Warranty

By John
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2025-04-03

This is an update to my March 28 review, which was an update to my February 16 review (which for some reason B&H deleted). I have no doubt that Xiletu makes very fine products. I already have the LS-2A mini-head which works fine and is part of the reason I bought the bigger LS-6A. But like all products, once in a while there is a failure. That's what happened to me. See my previous reviews. So I emailed Xiletu, asking about how to make a warranty claim. After 5 emails back and forth to Xiletu, it's pretty obvious to me that they have no intention of honoring the warranty. Even if they did, I'd probably have to ship the product back to China and wait a long time to get it back. So my conclusion is this. Xiletu makes fine products, but if there's an occasional problem or failure, don't expect any help from Xiletu. In fact, if you buy any of these low-priced off-shore products, be sure to check first to see if the manufacturer has a US based operation to handle warranty claims. Otherwise, you'll be dealing with long emails delays and a lot of frustration.
