Quoted from Zitt:I haven't forgotten. But lets face facts here.
Stern does fix seriously bad PFs. They do make an attempt to not ship garbage.
JJP on the other hand decides after 3-4 generations of machines that they can't fix the clear coat problems all the other vendors have fixed.
Instead; they choose to ship washers and then not warranty the PF for any length of time.
That isn't a hiccup; that is a out right slap in the face of the customer and damn shady business practices.
I hope people reading this understand that you have ZERO experience as a JJP customer and that you’re basing your opinion on information that you’ve selectively picked from the internet.
