Garbage Schindler 330a hydraulic elevators at Giant Eagle Market District, Shadyside, Pittsburgh PA

(📹 6/15/2024) Here are some pure garbage Schindler 330a elevators at the Giant Eagle Market District in the Shadyside neighborhood of Pittsburgh PA. There's so many issues with these. Missing ceiling panels, missing jewel caps on the buttons, clearly dirty, and vibrates heavily when leveling in both directions. I almost thought these were low on oil, but it's their crappy reliability. I've never seen Adams Survivor Plus fixtures with ripped off jewel covers, which now makes me question the durability of Schindler 330as, and the Survivor Plus series in general too. These also have boring 330a motors too. These are clearly some of the least reliable models of elevators I've seen.

The elevators featured on my most viewed elevator video (before they replaced the COPs). That's the worst I've ever heard those, but I haven't ridden them in a while.

[@dmvelevatorsandmore]

These were quite crappy and I'm surprised these were your most viewed elevators

[@EWPA14]

For some weird reason there are a lot of viewers who like Schindlers, 330A in particular. I'm not sure why these particular elevators are the most viewed, perhaps because they're supermarket elevators or something.

@@EWPA14 One of my top ten videos are simply of two vanilla Otis LVMs with Series 5 at a hotel.

@@EWPA14 schindler 300a are crap elevators 3300 are better

[@EWPA14]

Honestly in this environment I don't think a 3300 (XL) would be any better.
