They don't make them like they used to. For that much money I would expect a little bit better welding and workmanship. Few spots you can tell where they burned through the aluminum. Definitely not as good as they used to be.

Becoming less satisfied with the quality of my former favorite brand:/ I looooove the colors, and they are comfortable. But, the materials are nothing like they used to be

These used to be really good little flashlights that were made in USA. They are now made overseas and are not as durable or well-made. I ordered four of them, and one had a defective switch. Also, although the beam is adjustable, there isn't as much of a difference between the wide and spot beams as there was in the older version. But if you're looking for a small non-LED flashlight, these are okay. However, I doubt they will last as long as the old ones I had (which were over ten years old).

Quality has gone down. Loved my old pair. Straps were thicker and were more comfortable. These will do, but they're not like they used to be.

Bought one of these years ago and loved it, so I bought two more recently. The recent newer products are not as high quality as my original. They weigh only a portion of what my original does and don't provide near the amount of support that the original does. Very disappointing.

Craftsman tools are not what they used to be.  They lack the quality feel of the Craftsman tools I grew up with.

Not as good as it used to be. The recipe has been changed.

My old roommate had one of these and it worked great. However, this seems to suffer from the "they don't make them like they used to" adage... The one I received is no where near as functional as the older one my roommate had.

The blades aren't sharp enough to cut through the apples easily and it requires much more force/putting a lot of my weight onto the tool to get it to go through - something that was not an issue with the older model. They've also changed the handles slightly - they are a bit taller than the older model, but I don't think it makes much of a difference aside from finding a proper storage spot. When slicing, small bits of apple pieces seem to get stuck a bit more easily than with the old one as well (though still less than some other apple slicers I've tried).

I do appreciate how ergonomic this slicer is - but otherwise it requires entirely too much effort to make this more efficient.

Not what they used to be. Not what is pictured.  This is my 2nd purchase of these.  My 1st was in 2011 and they looked just like the picture,  The one I just received is not the same.  The plastic back is very dull, not like the one pictured, although it does glow in the dark and the letters and markings are done well (raised).  Also, the nice sturdy ring has been replaced with a bronze colored weak ball chain.  I like the old one much better.  The compass still seems to work fine though. If they would just correct the picture, the differences wouldn't be so obvious, plus, the picture should be correct anyway.

I purchased this set  a year and a half ago on a big sale. They cook pretty well and evenly, but if you think you are buying the quality of 30 years ago you are in for a disappointment. I was excited to buy them because my mother has hers for 30 years and they are still shiny and clean and sturdy. We have a large family with home cooked meals every night so they are heavily used. I've had mine for a year and a half and they look old and spotty. The handle of the 3 quart saucepan comes loose after every use. I'm quite disappointed of the decline in quality.

They don't make things like they used to. Did expect much more from the his co. Of our youth. The money isn't the problem would pay for product to last. Where is this being made now?

Not the same quality they used to be.  This has been my summertime go to shoe for several years.  This pair was sloppy but unfortunately I noticed too late to return them.  The soles felt thinner, the support and structure shoddy.  Feels like they've changed.  they even look cheaper now too.

Worked well for 2 years and is now rusting and falling apart in several places.  Not made like they use to be, my parents lasted for decades.

The plates do not seem to be of the same quality as the originals bought 10+ years ago. 2 out of 3 plates had cracks in the glazing

They don't make them like they used to.

These were my favorite shoes about 10 years ago.  Went through about 4 pairs in 15 years, about 10 years ago.  Wore size 6 1/2 at the time.

7 was way too small.  Sent them back.  Ordered size 7 1/2.  Not very comfortable, not like they used to be.  Was going to return, but...

These are survivable, but they are NOT the same as they used to be -- not nearly as good quality.  I saw recently that Nike has retired its Celso Girl Flip-Flops, which I've had multiple pairs of over the years, so I decided to snatch up several pairs while I could (and while they were $24/pair).  With the old Nike Celso flip-flops, I *never ever* got blisters on the tops of my feet, and with these I did.  The rubber is different than before too, and the logo under the toe wore off very quickly (which never happened with the olds ones).  I'm inclined to believe these are Chinese knock-offs and not the real thing.  They're still better than most of the cheap flip-flops out there, but be aware that the are NOT the same as what you used to get.

This is pretty nice but not made like the older models from years ago! It just seemed so much lighter and not as sturdy as my old one. But it will probably get the job done.
