Quality:
Built very sturdy, All metal casing, heavy and solid.

It's a great deal. I don't have any idea what the "remeber you get what you pay for" reveiw is about. Nobody questions Mackie's ability, they build a superior product, always.
Desirability:
Got one.
Sound:
Extremely clean sound. I went through 4 mixer, all from different manufacturers before settling down with this one.
Support:
Don't know, never needed Makcie support.

"Nothing close for the price."
I've used other 14 to 24 channel mixers extensively and this one is certainly the best of them. The XDR mic preamps certainly are the best on any compact mixer I've tried. I've attempted to use more expensive boards' preamps and the results were horrible but with this getting my own preamp has suddenly moved off of my priority list. This has enough routing options, with inserts avable for most channel and with 2 sets of stereo outs (main and alt 3-4) that I'm comfortable staying with this sized board for quite a while, even if my studio is expanding every week or two. If you're like me and are flexible enough to fit within the 14 channel limit, I would absolutely recommend this for a computer or project studio or as a submixer - I may end up buying a second eventually. Absolutely solid board.

"It's served me well for 8 years."
Feature:
It's got all the features (and more) one could expect for the price. And I bought it years ago when it was much more expensive.
Quality:
I've been using one as my main mixer for both recording and rehearsing for 8 years now, and it's still going strong and shows no signs of crapping out anytime soon. Works great, even though I don't take the best care of it. A hot water pipe once broke in my rehearsal room, and all my equipment was exposed to hot steam for *a couple days*. (What a nightmare!) The 1402 was unaffected sound and function-wise! Rust spots even formed on the outside, but there was no degradation of sound quality. What more can I say?
Value:
I bought this years ago at almost twice the price. If it broke I would replace it for the price it's available at now.
Desirability:
Doesn't look exceptionally cool or anything, but who cares? It's functional. I don't need spinners and ground effects on my mixer; gimme good sound! This does.
Sound:
Sure, this does not compare to pro gear, but for my purposes (demo recording), and at this price point it's top notch. I like the sound of the mic pres; they're not harsh like they seem to be in many other low-priced mixers. The best thing I can say about it is that I find the quality of my sound limited by my room and/or my microphones, not by the mixer or its mic pres.
Support:
My favorite kind of support: the kind you never need!
Overall:
Overall, I'm extremely happy with this product. If it broke I would definitely replace it with the same model unless I had upgraded to a pro mixer. I've used it for recording, rehearsal, and live applications and it's done the job exceedingly well for all of these. The only "complaint" I have--and it's a very minor one--is that the rackmount brackets don't come bundled with the mixer. Would it be that much of an expense to throw them in, Mackie? But again, this is very minor and nitpicky, which speaks to how great the mixer is if that's all I can find to complain about. :)
