Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Meade ETX-125PE Telescope with UHTCCustomer Review: don't ever buy a Meade Telescope Summary: 1 StarsI have never had such a bad experience with customer service. My telescope broke after two uses. The horizontal drive mechanism is stripped. If I could get my telescope repaired someplace else, I would. I am absolutely furious at the complete failure on the part of Meade's organization to honor their commitment to repair my ETX-125. They took my money over two months ago now and have done absolutely nothing in return for my $150. This is the most pathetic interaction I have ever had with any purchase in my entire life.
I purchased a warranty plan from Meade 8/29/06. The charge was promptly placed on my credit card, and that is the only thing they have ever done for me. I called a month later for my shipping boxes. No reply. I called a week later and left another message, No reply. I called on 10/19/06, no reply. On 10 23 I talked to someone personally and she promised to look into the matter, took my info and said the manager would qet the messaqe. NO reply. On 10 24 I left a message again. Someone finally returned my call and said he'd send boxes. SINCE THEN I HAVE HEARD NOTHING!
I might as well throw my $1200 telescope in the trash since it broke after two uses and thanks to their bungling I can't get it fixed.
Description of Meade ETX-125PE Telescope with UHTCUntil now, the stargazer's two biggest challenges to enjoying the night sky have been aligning their telescope and finding objects. Meade's new ETX Premier Edition series eliminates these two challenges and makes astronomy as easy as pushing a button - right out of the box. Setting up your scope is a snap with the Automatic Alignment + SmartFinder? system - just enter your zip code, and your scope will level itself, point to true North and set the time automatically. When you're ready to begin observing, scan the vast database of the included Autostar Computer Controller - choose from over 30,000 celestial objects. Find the object you want, then hit the GO TO button. Your telescope will automatically locate the object and place it in the center of your eyepiece.Also, note the attractive North America Nebula (NGC 7000) graphic that wraps around the optical tube. Automatic Alignment + SmartFinder? The ETX-125PE automatically levels itself, points to North and sets the time once you enter your location or zip code. After the scope completes its patented Level North automatic alignment procedure, it will point to the first alignment star. Use the new wide-field SmartFinder to center the red dot over the alignment stars for ultra-precise pointing accuracy. Autostar Controller and Software Package Plug Meade's #497 Autostar Computer Controller into your ETX scope and quickly locate more than 30,000 celestial objects a
