AFAIK it's not even 100$, but 100$ worth of store credit.ao people are being asked to return their device but it's ok, they get a tiny discount on the next one that functions pretty much the same.

Requiring disposal to get a measely $100 credit on an $1,400 to $2,200 board seems a little extreme. Full replacement? Yeah, require proof of disposal. $100? Stop using it and turn it into a museum piece or something.

100usd off of store purchases are nothing. I am just imagining they have postponed their 100usd off black Friday deal for another 6 months to justify this ‘payment’
They don’t lose anything from this offer.

That was my thought too. Not knowing how much they cost and reading $100 I already knew that amount was way too low. I've gotten recalls on dehumidifiers in the past and the rebate usually equated to about half of a new unit. That's obviously apples to oranges but still a rediculous offering given the price of a newer model.

There’s a fire hazard recall out on my table saw, $75 to send them a pic of it inoperable. Nah, I’ll just keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
