The Sharper Cheaper Image

Is it just me, or has The Sharper Image been turning out more crap products over the last few years?

Sure, I love my Quadra air cleaners, but for $300 a pop they better do what they advertise!

Here's my dissappointments:

• I bought the Steam Wizard Turbo Steamer & Wet/Dry Vacuum and it quit steaming within two months. I returned it for a replacement and the second one slowly disintegrated over the next year. It's barely operational now.
• I also spent way too much on the Deluxe Spire Feel-Good Fan with Negative-Ion Feature--it's of very poor manufacturing, wouldn't power up after the first time I turned it off (semi-fixed now), and is about to vibrate itself to death.

(I'm a big believer in negative-ions--the Lasko neg-ion fan I have in my office at home runs constantly and the office is one of the most comfortable feeling rooms in the house. The Lasko fan, btw, was a third the price of the SI fan, has all the same features, and is a much better device. Lowes usually carries it over the summer months. FWIW.

So, chime in. Have you been disappointed at SI's quality lately? Should we be spending our hard earned cash on toys at Hammacher Schlemmer instead?
