Re: Is there anything bad about the AmayaXT?
Amaya machines are a BIG rip Off in both initial purchasing price and the rediulous software prices by Melco. I have been in the embroidery Business for 35 Years and have recently seen an Amaya XT in opertion and it really did not impress me at all. Melco took many short cuts in quality to produce the Amaya machine, Mostly made of Plastic and has had many" upgrades" concerning parts that failed in earlier design and production.Amaya machine must have a operationg software to operate . NO OTHER embroidery machine is designed in this manner.Melco has invented a way to RIP YOU OFF, BIG TIME!!!!!And PLEASE all you new embroidery Nerds out there, Don't be fooled about "Digitizing Software" being EXPENSIVE. You can use ANY digitizing software on Amaya Machines and any other embroidery machine and their are many on the Internet that are absolutely FREE to download. You do not need to spends $11,000------$8,000-------$4500.00 as Melco tells you , THEY ARE NUTS and their prices are CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!Also to you people out there who are thinking about buying a USED Amaya , Please investigate PRIOR to purchasing because MELCO Charges $600.00 to "Re-license" a used machine into YOUR NAME. Without paying this re-license fee, Melco WILL NOT support you with the software issues. Also to upgrade from one level of software to another is VERY COSTLY. You see , I have fully investigated Amaya and have come to the conclusion that they are ONE RIP OFFS !!!!!!!!Of course this is just My Opinion, BUT I have done much investigating into this machine and Melco. One last thing,in my own opinion, Their Sales Reps leave much to be dirsired !!!!!!
