Wow, first post Rant! BTW, I own two used Allen Bradley vfds that I obtained off eBay and they have worked perfectly for several years now. The one I bought new, a teco, died after 14 months, cap crapped out and burned out board. So your take is quite wrong from my point of view. And reforming just means plugging in for a few hours bf using after storage. Can't speak of the Chinese brand....as always, buyer beware.
