Hello all, glad to be here. First of all, thank you for the kind words, we do our very best. We pride ourselves on customer service and honesty, and we sell top quality machinery. We have a great reputation and would never compromise our integrity by offering our customers machinery that does not meet our standards. We do not cut corners anywhere. With that said, there has been talk regarding Juki and the Juki clones. Juki has factories in Japan and China. They do this so they can compete with the Chinese market. The COBRA Class 4 has interchangeable parts with the Juki 441 and are guaranteed for life, because we stand behind our products. We have an advantage in this market because our broker which happens to be my partner's brother has been dealing with all of the Asian factories for over 40 years and has a quality control facility in China as well. Feel free to give us a call at 1-866-962-9880 if you need more info, or if you need help in any way. We also offer help on our competitors machines too. Thanks again for the opportunities you have given us. Thanks, Cobra Steve
