There is no guarantee in the technology OR this particular device - or any of them.
I believe every electronics product has a Constitutional Right to die when THEY feel like it, to be sloppily manufactured, dropped and drowned in shipping, kicked off of a top shelf in a mile-high warehouse, left on a scorching metal liftgate, and have shipping crews mistake the dust-bin parts for A-Number-One's.
But for these parts, I buy locally so I can easily drive over and return them. I calculate that I'm paying a slightly higher price for store-parts, so this is MY Constitutional Right to return parts that don't work FOR ME. Stores accept this, too, so it's a nice partnership.
Powerlines will work in your environment, or they won't. That's a blessing in a way - no need to spend hours fiddling and adjusting. No need to scratch heads or wade thru menus of unclear choices. These are one of the most efficient-to-test products around - you'll know in 5 minutes if they're going to work FOR YOU, in your environment. No one's assurance is worth a typed pfennig compared to your experience.
