Makro Kruzer = Impact packed into a waterproof shell to fool people into thinking it's a completely brand new, redesigned from the bottom up type machine.
I used to be die hard Racer fan, but with the likes of the Equinox offering single or multi freq' ability....'m sad to say i've had to leave the Makro brand.
Hello there... it is your and every customer's right to leave any brand and switch to another one if they wish to. Manufacturers release new models and it is up to the end users to decide which one suits their needs the best and manufacturers must just respect that. However, as the representative of the Nokta & Makro brands here, I must step in and clarify something as there is an accusation in your post.
We are not here to ''fool'' anybody in your terms and neither we think that our valued customers lack the intellectuality to differentiate between different models.
I will just copy and paste what I wrote another forum to continue:
''First of all, when we first announced the merger of Nokta & Makro Detectors, our announcement included the following lines ...''We will not only offer a richer product portfolio to our customers but address the whole market demand with products at different price levels....'' and this is still part of our goal today.
Second, when we released the Racer, we got tons and tons of feedbacks from end users asking for different settings, features etc and we did our best to offer that in the Racer 2… then came the Impact, our most advanced unit (and it still is today) with 12 different search modes offering a very powerful and versatile detector. Meanwhile, customers have been asking us to offer a waterproof unit at an affordable price…. So we did it…
If you look at the manufacturers in any industry today, whether it is the cars or cell phones, they constantly offer new products because development is an ongoing process and demands and needs differ from individual to individual, country to country…
Now, if as a manufacturer we are to be blamed for listening to our customers and for developing products and offering them pretty fast, then yes we are guilty ….but also very proud …’’
