I decided a week or so ago to buy another cz-20 after having to sell mine last year for some quick cash. so i got on the net and started to check some of the forums ,because i hadent checked them for over a year.(that was nice) i have used many under water detectors in the past and my top picks were the excal 1000 and the cz-20 they each had their own high pionts and their drawbacks (very few) but the warranty was what made me decide to go ahead and buy the cz-20 so i logged on to kellycos web site for reference, and proceeded to the cz 20 page and i noticed a banner reading act fast and get your cz-20 soon before the warranty's change.due to being bought out by texas something.... it said they had one more left with the life time warrante . so i called my local detector shop to order a ten incher from him if he could get the lifetime warrante then to my suprize he told me that he cant even get any because they were discontinued. and further that the company that bought fisher was the bounty hunters parent company. ITS NO WONDER THEY CHANGED THE WARRANTY'S .....THAT DONT FIT IN WITH THE CHINA-MART PHILOSOPHY. so i bought an excal 1000 for the third time from him.
my biggest concern was that if i got the cz20 with a lifetime warranty now. A WARRANTE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE COMPANY ISSUING IT. and i cant hardly see a company like bounty hunter having tons of high dollar electronics wizards just waiting to fix your high dollar detector to the same standards that fisher would.
thats just my opinion on the matter, and i hope i didnt offend anybody.
cz-20 users of the future it looks bleak with the texas co. responsible for the bounty hunters line of detectors recently purchasing fisher. I know that this is just another typical buisness being bought out by a company who wants a name to slap on their sub-par product to boost sales. but the name fisher has earned a reputation over the years with one of the best u/w detectors on the market and a whole host of well performing and WELL BACKED products with lifetime warranty's
i know if i had a cz-20 right now i would sell it now while they are in high demand, before bounty hunter decides that fixing all the old cz-20's is just too "cost prohibitive" and refuses to fix the cz-20s all together.
i know this is possible because companys do it everyday after a take over. just look at the computer market
i dont want to be mr.doomsday but i think anybody should think long and hard before buying or keeping the cz-20
its just a shame. because i loved the cz-20
