I have to agree. I had that one problem and once it was fixed I've had no issues.
Also, once you are properly trained, you will see that a failed solenoid is no big deal. When mine failed I did not lose one minutes worth of dive time. Admittedly, when I was untrained I really thought a solenoid failure was a big, life threatening event. It isn't if you manage it correctly.
IMO, the more I dive my unit the more I believe that the most problematic, failure prone piece of gear in the system is operator error by the diver.

at that rate you are gonna be really old before you find something to buy. Keep in mind you hear only the vocal 5% of people. the vast majority have very few problems. I have had 2 rebreather failures in over 250 hours of diving, my car has broke down more that that. My meg is the most reliable piece of dive gear I have ever owned, I take very good care of it too.
