Most A2 (and most A1 units before them) have run without issues for years.
Probably the most reliable gear on the market at this point.

Well hello there!
Pretty much any new asic mining gear is unlikely to ROI at this point (particularly Scrypt miners) and that's even assuming uber-cheap electricity.

Unless you can find a reasonably priced 2nd hand unit and your willing to take a bit of a risk that the until will run flawlessly for you for the next year and a half your probably just better off taking that 800 Euro and buying and holding.

A2 Terminators are commonly available, and tend to be good reliable Scrypt miners.

 Litecoin might be more centralised than Bitcoin, but it's price and difficulty have also been a LOT more stable since the Litecoin block reward halfing.



 The days of "get your investment on short time" are LONG gone for any cryptocoin.

Do not buy scrypt miner. Those mining is very concentrated. The litecoin is controlled by small number of people. If you want to mine, mine something else.
I can understand you logic.. I would accept answers like "dont buy, you will lose money", but your argument is "dont buy because litecoin is concetrated"?
 Huh

He means that almost of Litecoin mining  hashpower  is centralized unfortunately due to the high difficulty, If you buy a miner to mine Litecoins you probably you never will get your  investment on short time at least. On the case of Bitcoin is worst, Some peoples bet mining anothers coins but is the same thing. If the money is not a problem for you and you do this for fun only the history will be  different so you can do that you want, Otherwise If the latter is not the case first you need to do a lot of searching to begin.

Concentration means a few people control the market and hence could "make evil" by manipulating the prices. I'm not sure it's the case for LTC though.
