MPS-850 E-Drum Set : Good for the price, but pads break easily

I've had this kit for about 6 months now and I've really enjoyed playing it...when it works. The pads feel realistic to strike, the Hi-Hat can be a bit finicky at times but works well enough for practice, and having a real kick pedal is a nice touch too.

However, I've had to contact customer support twice in such a short space of time in order to replace defective pads so I'm starting to think there is a reason this kit is cheaper than most. Pads have stopped registering beats correctly mid-practice, producing nothing but rim-clicks or no sounds at all which has made me have serious concerns about the longevity of this kit.

I wish I could leave a more positive review, since this kit offers a lot on the surface and is a great tool for beginner-intermediate drummers but at this point I would advise anyone looking at investing in E-drums to save your money and pick a higher quality product.
