Monthly payments that never end, you could end up paying over 2x what the unit is worth over it's lifespan.
Service cost are covered but you have no choice in the provider.
After hours service may be limited or non-existant.
You will be charged to have the unit removed from your home when you decided to have it uninstalled (approx. $250)
