Re: Odeyssa
I bought one from them and it was a nightmare!!! The thing was broken they wanted me to fix it with the wrong parts that they kept sending and it was impossible to get hold of them. I even filed a complaint with the BBB and they did not even respond to them. I would say stay as far away as possible!!!

Re: Odeyssa
Dont do it. the product is cheap and the support is not good. Ive done a bit of research on several sites and all are saying the same thing. so, if you do buy from them you have been duly advised to be cautious here. if something looks to be too good it probably is. there is no free lunch here. good luck let us know how it goes.
