I'm seeing a LOT of recent negative reviews. Is anyone aware of whether the company may have downgraded the quality of this product?

I would point out that 2% one star and two star reviews is well below average for Amazon reviews....

I have talked directly to the company and they had a problem with the calibration of their quilting machine and I had one of the problem mattress covers. They exchanged for the me and I think the new one is even better. They were very nice and accommodating, and really seemed to be in tune and corrected the machine problem. I will recommend and likely buy another to have on hand.

I recommend this product, I have not had any problems with mine and it fits great. I would buy from them, and if you have a problem, the are here in the USA!! Easy to contact if needed. I love it and my dogs love it!!!

I did have a problem with my quilting but they were very happy to exchange if I need for up to one year.

Sorry, I'm no help on these issues. Maybe the product has been changed since my purchase but I've not had these problems.

I agree with Eric. I doubt the interface has changed. I suggest buying it from a reputable place where you can return it if not satisfied That way there is little risk to you.

I bought it within the last year and have had no problems with it. Guess I should check it for the defects you mentioned.

New models and price drops on old ones are all part of company product cycles. I too was afraid to buy my receiver based on the negative reviews but it is an amazing piece of equipment and I do not regret it one bit. I have never experienced any of the handshake issues that the negative reviews describe. Maybe these people are trying to use old equipment with it??? I really don't know

Same thing happened to me with the last 3! I bought. They are no longer the quality item they were when I bought my first one a couple years agi. Get your money back!

Look for my previous feedback on this product. I hope it answers your question.

It's been discontinued and all the information I've tried to find is murky. I would maybe not trust this seller, but you could try calling them or something. You can still occasionally find it on eBay, but the company says they have no plans to bring it back. I berated them and it did absolutely no good. It was a great product.

I don't know about a change, but I would rate it as high quality. I've had it for about 1.5 years and it's as good as new.

Sorry, but I sent mine back. It wasn't the quality I thought it was. I've purchased from ShindigZ! before with success and quality, but not so much with this product. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately it would appear that quality control for everything these days is less than desirable. Would read reviews on both products before making up your mind. Especially the 1 star reviews:

Mine was "like new" and I can only say how happy I have been with it. :-)I have purchased a number of refurbished products over the years and rarely - rarely - have I been disappointed!I also know of some that have not worked for friends; but rather than "going back" for another, they chose to go "new."We all have different levels of acceptability or patience. I do expect the units I get to work as if they were new! I understand the "refurbished" moniker and feel it is a great way to "sell" an "almost new" unit. Good luck with yours, if you choose one!

There will always be a bad apple whether its the product or the person reviewing it. Sometimes people just have bad luck with products. But we haven't regretted our purchase for even a second. We love it. Good luck with yours if you get it. Just be sure to do the support on the bottom the proper way and I think you'll be really pleased with it. We may have gone a little overboard on the framing of the base but that's how we roll. Lol

the companies website hasnt been updated and this is not the original formula, i have emailed them 6 times without an answer, i suspect they are trying to pass off inferior placebo stuff. they used to be the game but i think they know they cant the good stuff anymore.

Okay so here's a nice and straight forward answer. IT DEPENDS. Maybe some buyer was being really cheap and wanted to save $2 and bought it from some no name seller and got a water down cologne and hence you see the negative reviews. Buy your colognes from Amazon. You always get the real deal.

Mine was great! No problems at all. I've only used it once though. Good luck!

I think Consumer Reports review quality is getting worse. Too many products, they don't test like they used to, and their politics seem to affect a lot of their listings. I still subscribe and use their research, but find I need to use it as only one source. Watch their ratings vs. user ratings on various sites, and you will find lots of divergence.
