Lotus is crap. Plus the customer service is almost non-existent. I would highly recommend not purchasing one unless you want a mantel piece.
Interesting, because I haven't had a single issue with my Lotus. But yes, I agree on the XiKar comment. Have had two of them, neither has lasted very long before I needed the warranty.
