Foxwell Scanners?

So I've seen them mentioned numerous times, all seemed to be thumbs up references. I was trying to research which one would be best for what I want, and sent their sales team an email with various/numerous questions. The response was very vague, recommending their 'latest product the NT530' and including a link to a spreadsheet with hundreds of lines of vague information of what it can do.

Started looking at some reviews on Amazon, and they are not very promising, many poor comments regarding support, and not being able to register use the product out of the box. One specifically mentioned it allowed him to register a new battery, but not update the capacity. And one even claims the update site tried to install a virus on his computer?

Foxwell NT510 elite

Foxwell NT530

Foxwell NT630

Anyone with hands on experience care to comment? Really looking to be able to do diagnostics, maintenance like cycling the ABS pump for brake bleeds, battery registration, etc. Even some coding of functions like window up/down, hatch close on remote, lighting functions etc would be great as well (Amazon description 'seems' to imply it can do some coding ("Advanced functions such as Actuation, Adaption and Programming"), but I can't find any details on this anywhere..

Company's website seems poor from the standpoint of clarity on what the units can and can't do, or the differences between them. The NT510 elite seems to have the best customer reviews, but its more expensive than then newer NT530, and is not even shown on the company website anymore..

Personal experience welcomed..
