Is SG-350 10-port managed switch a non-working piece of trash?

I am a very frustrated first time customer. This is my first time using Cisco equipment,
and I didn't expect the technical phone support to be non-existent. In my twenty
years of buying from various manufacturers and dealing with their technical support I
have never had to deal with this complete lack of regard for the customer and their
technical troubles. I have called four times already and have not been able to get through
to someone who can solve my problem. All I get are customer representatives who take

my personal information. I fail to see how this company stays in business. Here is my

problem if someone cares to reply.

I recently bought three SG-350 10-port switches and I am having problems with the GUI.

Every time I log in to the interface I see a flashing red save button. Why is this? Clicking

on the save button does not get rid of it. After about a minute the GUI locks up, then logs

me off. When logging out from the CLI, I also get a message prompting me to save even

if I do not make any change. These switches have to be the worst bug ridden pieces of

thrash I have ever come across.

If this problem stays unresolved for a week, I am sending this equipment back to the seller
and demanding a refund. And for heaven's sake fix your overly complicated and un-navigable
website that just waste a customer's time.

  - Try to configure your device(s) with a none default IP-address within a reasonable time period 

 Ref : https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/csbms/sf30x_sg30x/quick_start/78-19252-01.pdf

 To access the switch by using the web-based interface, you must know
the IP address the switch is using. The switch uses the factory default IP
address of 192.168.1.254 by default.
When the switch is using the factory default IP address, the System LED
flashes continuously. When the switch is using a DHCP server-assigned IP
address or an administrator has configured a static IP address, the System
LED is on solid (DHCP is enabled by default).

Huh? You don't have to link to a quick start guide. I have already read it. In fact, the unit shipped with no ip address configured. I had to log in through the console port and give the unit an ip address for vlan 1. That's easy stuff. That's not where the problem lies. The question is: why is it always prompting to save even though no changes were made, regardless of whether I am using the GUI or the command line? This condition started occurring two days after I had done the initial basic configuration of this unit. It seems to me that this is a bug in the firmware. I updated the firmware to the latest image version 2.5.0.92 but the problem persists. How do I solve it?

I'm still awaiting a solution for this problem: why is the sg-350 switch continuously prompting to save even though no changes were made?
