ProMariner ProSport On-Board Marine Battery Chargers are they any good or just trash?

the reviews are all over the place on them, 50% say they the best thing since sliced bread and the others say its trash and no good so I thought I would ask if any of you have any experience with them.

what do you guys think of them?

Mine lasted 3 years. It's saying check connection but all connections are good. I'm not sure how long they usually last.

Dual Pro is the best with the best customer service. I am using a Minn Kota with no issues going on 2 years.

thanks for all your help guys, after looking at prices and reviews on your suggestions I ended up buying a Guest brand dual bank 10/10 charger. both batteries sit in the forward dry storage so I only needed a 2 bank.

I use a regular charger I already have for the starting battery in the rear
