Review of the Canaan A1066 Pro (coming soon)

So, me, Buysolar, and another member might get our hands on some test units of the A1066 Pro. We've been in touch with Avalon through a bunch of emails. Steve Mosher is on board with us. Right now, my two A1041 beta models are still running fine, and the two A1066s are doing well too. They’ve been solid for over six months. We did have a hiccup with a third one sent from Finland (HaggsFin). The US post office misplaced it for a while and when it finally showed up, it was a total dud because the packaging looked like it had been through a battle. Totally blaming the US post office for that one. I'd rate my older models at a solid 4 out of 4. That's 2 A1041s and 2 A1066s. I expect the A1066 Pro to be even stronger than the A1066. It’s supposed to hit 55TH, pull 3300 watts, and cost about $1100.

spacing At all feel free to post. We hope to see this gear next 1-2 weeks.

55th 3300 watts $1100 based on the above it is $196 more expensive than a T17+ at the same speed, and 500W more(ish) (realistically only 300). I understand it is good to have competitors as it will advantage us as buyers with better prices, but same speed for more money and watts, why? are they long-lasting?

My lone t17+  has a dead board. More then 3 others have bad t17+ units. So far it is an unreliable  miner. So the question is how reliable is the a1066 pro  well we hope to find out when we get the samples. Avalons have tended to work well over the years.

Interesting, what model did you get? Did you even talk to your distributor or Canaan about it? I and many others have the exact opposite results. I *used* to run BM gear and up to the s4 they were great, come s5 on up lots of issues culminating with all 4 T9's and 15 S9's I had each losing multiple boards. Initially repair service from Bitmain and then through Denver-based BitmainWarrenty was decent but quickly went to hell in a hand basket. Switched to Avalons starting with the A721 and have not looked back. Currently running just over 500TH of Avalons ranging from A841's to the A1047's and aside from losing 2 fans on my oldest and now retired 721's ZERO problems. You will find that the few folks here who did report problems were taken care of quickly and in a professional manner either by the distributor or Canaan directly. The miners are modular and easy to troubleshoot, find the problem and Canaan will get replacement parts right out to you.

I kept the trolling posts below.  His info is wrong they do not have a long lead time and have gear in stock as  type. At first he claims 1 bad unit. He then claims 2 different bad models. If someone is out to get or hurt canaan hiring trolls is but one idea. It is obvious that all asic builders will have a tough time. My belief is  this person freddy2020 is lying about canaan to hurt sales.  Note the bold type.

Seriously it is true. Why cant someone be criticising the Avalon? I had this experience and I am def not out to hurt Canaan. I do own exactly 2 of these miners. And it is my experience. Some things you say are completely untrue. Calling me a troll and a hire, seriously. Getting posts deleted and stuff. Ehh?! It seem to be yourself that is biased if anyone.  The long lead.time is absolutely true as I inquired about buying their new model and they recommended me to order already 3 months in advance. I do keep an open mind about the A1066 and look forward to hear how people experience this machine.

off topic the thread is not on the new model it is on the a1066 pro at first you had 1 model then it became 2 models. So I detected multiple critical points that are not consistent. As for reliability the four I own are reliable. I have 90 day screen shots of them. They had outages only when my whole farm was turned down for cleaning and maintenance . Show me real evidence you had constant down time on your 1 now 2 units. Or leave the thread alone. I notice you are plugging the s19 hard on the bitmain thread.
