Vacon Drive Reviews

I'm hoping to start a thread on Vacon drives here. Does anyone have some input on Vacon motor drives?

Looking for some first-hand information from an end user who has installed the Vacon product line to drive an AC or DC motor. I see this brand listed on a few different industrial websites but haven't personally used their products before. Looking for company information, overall value, reliability, ease of setup, etc. Fill in the blanks, I think some Vacon drive reviews would be helpful. Thanks!
