Not exactly a failure as they were produced and sold by the millions for roughly 7 years (going through some 54 revisions - obviously there was still some need for improvement) and generally provided good service, especially the later revisions. One of their strongest points was that they were very slim, because of their integrated lift mechanism.
Grundig U loader VHS mechanisms on the other hand.... Very bulky and unreliable. They switched to Panasonic G decks before they gained use of the turbo deck through their joint venture with Philips.
