Altec Lansing Soundbucket XL (Open Box)

I have a small speaker from them & it works awesome. I ordered the Sonic Boom speaker & it was garbage. I plugged it in to charge it up & it never charged. It only turned on when the power cord was plugged in. Then when it did turn on. When it said Welcome To Alec Lansing is wasn't clear. It was static. Then I heard a horrible buzzing sound coming from the speaker when I tried to play music through it. So I asked for a replacement. They sent the replacement & it was like they took the same speaker that I just sent back and put it in a beat up box & shipped it right back to me. Because it did the same thing. Wouldn't charge, wouldn't work without the power cord. Horrible buzzing sound when I tried to play music from it. When it said Welcome To Altec Lansing. It wasn't clear, it was muffled and static. I'm very disappointed. The instructions said 2 to 3 hours and it would be fully charged. I left it plugged in overnight and it never charged. Both of them just flashed a dim red light every few seconds. That light is supposed to be a bright solid red until fully charged. Then the light is supposed to go out. I'm absolutely disgusted. Don't waste your time and money on this. Find an alternative.
