Saw them at Mining Disrupt a few months back and talked to the owner. Cool looking little devices and really like the people behind the company. At the time they were just prototypes so didn't have an opportunity to buy one. So probably not a useful response considering your question but maybe it's helpful.
this chunky Gekko device is super loud on the older model; troubleshooting thru copy-pasting code is not fun; a few bitaxes with 1 chip each amount to about the same total price, lower hashrate yet easier maintenance and if one chip burns out, the other chips-in-machines keep chugging along; becoming proficient in bitaxe seems to me like a more sustainable and educational activity; bitaxes are also much prettier works of art, whereas this dumb loud box is not much of a conversation starter;

Thanks. On the contrary, that was a very useful response. It's always good to get an impression of the people behind the product.
