I just bought a new Tornado Cyclone II, quality is not "#1" priority
sslark:
I got my NEW Tornado Cyclone II foosball table two weeks ago and I would like to tell you all about the quality of the product that I received.
My local Tornado store “Go Big” in Clovis CA. delivered the Cyclone II to my house, un-boxed it, put it together and set it up. As I watched and checked it over like a mother hen with a new hatched chick I started to notice some very disturbing things: lack of inspection, poor manufacturing practice flaws about the table. BTW, this also crossed over to the other new tables my dealer had brought back from the Los Angeles distrubitor for setup at his own store and home too!
Buying a table of this cost and quality took a long time for me to afford. So I expect at least better quality than the Sears table my son and I have played on for years.
So what was wrong you ask? First, three of the rods are bent. Yes bent, not straight, not even close to straight.
FIVE of the rods have bad plating that feels like sand paper as they pass through the plastic bushings. The other new tables at the store are a Storm II and a Whirlwind II both had plating errors on several rods each.
Also, every table had one or more of the corner emblems peeling off.
My dealer has not heard back from the distributer as of yet, it has been two weeks.
If you buy a Tornado table be sure to inspect it really well. But will the company stand behind their product? We will see.
I guess buyer beware.
