Stay away from Canaan! Dead Avalon Q, hidden shipping costs, and nonexistent support
Do NOT buy from Canaan. I purchased the Canaan Avalon Q, and it didn't even last a year before breaking down completely. Every day a miner is down, you are losing money, but Canaan does not care about your downtime.
Even though the device was technically under warranty, they forced me to pay €140 out of my own pocket just to ship their faulty hardware to their service center in Portugal. It took them over a month to supposedly "fix" it. During that entire month, I had to constantly chase them down and spam their support just to get a basic update and force them to do their job.
To make things worse, they allegedly sent it back over a week ago, and the device is still missing in transit. On top of this absolute nightmare, they strictly refuse to provide a new or extended warranty for the repaired unit.
This shows they have zero confidence in their own repairs and hardware. They are just running out the clock on my original warranty so they can completely abandon me next time it breaks.
Canaan sells unreliable products and has a pathetic post-purchase support system. Save your money, save your nerves, and buy from a manufacturer that actually stands behind their products.
