Never heard of one until you posted, can't be very popular or someone would have chimed in by now. They say they are in CA but that don't mean they make their detectors. I would guess they write the programs and have them made in China

They used to have a forum in the manufactures area, which appears to have been deleted. They had some big hype a few years ago. Their quality was not very good. I watched plenty of reviews of the Quest when it first came out. Most had problems with them. On guys coil cable was crimped and shorted and he destroyed the machine at the end of the video. They were then sued by Teknetics since the Quest intruded on the T2 programming. BigWaveDave won their contest and was given a detector that has become a dust collector.

It seems that Quest machines are building a following in Europe. They've got a group page on FB and it is fairly busy with a good number of users. The reports there are generally very positive and the finds are often amazing. I haven't had my hands on one, but I am intrigued from the videos I've watched. At least one of the sponsors here carries them (River Team Six Metal Detectors). You might want to reach out to him and get his take on them. I believe Andy Sabisch carries Quest Detectors too.

Metaldetectorguy did a test video with one. He didn’t seem to happy with the machine.

Yes, like Loco said, I have one, and tried it.

the vast number of dealers selling them, along with their presence on the forum should tell you all you need to know.
