Mike, I bought this one in April of 2015 and have been happy with it. While it doesn’t get heavy daily use, it does what I’ve needed well.

That is kinda weird about the Schumackers (sp) I have 2 of them that are well over 20 years old by now and never an issue. One of them has been left out in downpours and never failed. I spent several hundred on a snap on charger years back and just out of warranty it popped the transformer, same with the 2 I have had from Napa (not sure of the brand). Maybe they have gone cheap like everything else seems to have.

i broke down & went to NAPA & bought a charger on wheels- on first use i was disapointed ! it wont charge up completely w/o automaticly switching to a lower setting ! to avoid overcharging ???? ITS GOING BACK ! WHEN I NEED A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY -I NEED ONE !! NOW TO MAKE A DECISION -ON WHAT BRAND ? seems like all the better ones are higher prices ??

I've had a shumacher last 15 years, the only issue I've had is the timer quit working.

If your are on a budget, they are a great quality battery charger.

I have one of these now. I bought it used, no issues after 5 years, but there is a huge difference in price.
