So, the HR-7650U was indeed a more-reliable model than the HR-D225U that you exactly described. Thanks for the write-up, and I will be sure to avoid the HR-D225U. Of course, I would much rather prefer cleaning the rollers in the HR-7650U than changing broken gears in the HR-D225U.

That's good news so far. Please list of all problems you saw in the HR-D750U, HR-D180U, and HR-D237U, and do you or not classify them as reliable? Why are they not #1 in your list, when they're supposed to be? Why the HR-D830U instead?
