The product, in the report: Aleko awning AWCL 10’x8’ blue awning fabric
Item is a Aleko brand AWCL 10’x8’ motorized retractable awning. The unit has had 3 identical failures over the past year. The awning works normally for 2 to 3 cycles, then without warning when hitting the extend button the awning instantly deploys at unimpeded speed (no gradual extension). The awning came out so fast I was barely able to get my arm up to keep from striking me in the head. The extension arms are under great pressure. The awning extension arms break in the process. The manufacturer just sends more parts. They have all been defective. Again, three identical incidents 1. The original parts 2. First replacement repair. 3. Second replacement repair. I was the operator for all incidents. The awning is installed at my house. This awning is dangerous. Awning come out with enough force to knock someone to the ground. I have multiple failed parts. I am a retired [REDACTED] defect investigator and give you a lot of detailed information and parts.
