Anything that is powered and says Behringer on it is crap waiting to go into thermal overload, and that is a fact with no IMO attached. I've never known of one that didn't. Whether a bass amp or powered mixer, they were usually bought by people that didn't know any better, were on a tight budget, and took the GC sales person's word as Gospel. That said, the Bugera/Behringer connection hasn't panned out yet and their straight-up unpowered mixers are what they are. Decent mixers at a very affordable price. I've had one for 2 years with no problems.
