I have
read the posts and was very wary to respond but here goes.
Are there some
problems? Yes! But the majority of cross roads owners do not post on here. Get
that? The Majority. Most buy the unit and just plain enjoy it. The only time
someone posts, on any forum, is that they have a question, or problem and would
like help or advise. When it comes to Cross Roads, when there is a problem it
is taken care of by one means or another. Unfortunately there are holes in the
system (read that bad dealers) and when that happens Cross Roads steps up and
has it repaired by the appropriate means. I have owned a 29rk since 2006 and
never had it back to the dealer. Period!
Can the units be better? Yes but there
is a cost. It can be money or time but there is a cost. The example of adding
$250.00 is a good one, it reflects the cost of absolute verification. I can
assure you that every manufacturer of anything has a certain trust in their suppliers;
this is sometimes violated and then addressed. In the mean time the company
takes a hit for "bad quality".
All of us now buy inferior quality
from China and accept it because of the "price", you know, "what
can you expect?" BBQ grills, socks, and everything else but what the heck
it was so "cheap" (and I emphasis "cheap") I can buy
another and another and another... until... I could have bought a V8!
Buy the
best quality you can afford. That in my opinion, is a Cross Roads product.
I
will now hear from those that are involved with QC and other things how this
and that are problems but let me tell you for a fact that I have been in
manufacturing for over 40 years and I find that US manufacturing is better than
almost all the rest of the "global market" in its quality and concern
for the end user.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

In my
opinion you get the best quality for the buck with a Cross Roads product versus
any other product, foreign or domestic.</span>
