I've heard nothing but bad reviews about these things from the user end as well.

I have no idea why one would buy a Robocoin machine when there are a number of evidently superior alternatives.

How are the alternatives "evidently superior"? Not that I doubt this Robocoin experience, but playing devil's advocate and the bitcoin economy... is a bit necessary.

When Butterfly Labs was scamming people over so long a period, it was difficult to mention them without a flurry of negative personal anecdotes coming your way. Is this also the case with Robocoin, or is this an isolated incident?

The existence of positive reviews and relative lack of negative reviews.
