Ive only used delks in the 15 odd years fishing and never had a problem with any of them or have had to use their repair service so can't comment.
What I can say though is I lost my belt clip for my receiver. Went on their website for a replacement and you can actually order spare bits free of charge. Even the postage was free.
In my opinion that alone is worth my loyalty to them for as long as i am able to hold a rod in my hands

There is faults mentioned on this thread about screaming alarms,battery drains on the receiver,heads playing up in the rain.There is now another thread about sensitivity on the heads after rain,it just seems there is more issues with these than the older txi.Its ok though as Delkims customer service is superb,shame the same can't be said about their quality control

i was going to get some brand new but bought October 2019 by the seller and never used. I have made a U turn and will keep the rx plus after taking note of threads on here.. or possibly buy brand new from shop so i get the 3 year warranty.

There are faults with all alarms though fox has been mentioned plenty of times on here there is a thread also about a faulty fox nxtr doesn't mean they are a bad alarm or worth not getting, a lot people just jump on the band wagon with delkim for some reason but like you said the customer service will sort it out which is kinda what my point was all along mate but yeah I do agree it would be good if the quality control was better but that can be said with almost every company tbh not just with alarms.
let's be honest a lot of people will always stick up for the alarms they have got and slate others just because they feel the need to and they haven't got them, I'll be honest I've had plenty of different alarms delkim txi plus, fox nxtr, nash r3s now delkim txi ds which I really like them will I stick with them? I don't no because every now and then I prefer a change not because of the alarm just because I get bored with the same thing easily 🤣 might go fox rx+ next or ever Edward customs I ain't decided yet hahaha

I always said if delkim went digital and sorted out the rubbish receiver on the txi I had that I would go back.I just think I will wait a little longer and see if the faults start getting less frequent

I've had a few sets of alarms Inc delkim, att's, nevs fox rx digi and wouldn't stick up for any or slag any. Like any item of tackle someone will always of had a problem. Loads knock nash but I've owned and loved the titan and really like my scopes but I really don't care what others think. Problem is if I ask for opinions of a specific item often you will get mixed opinions so end up looking at the product and making my mind up. Also I have become reluctant to give an opinion on stuff I own incase they buy and get a duff one. Look at the ultra brolly threads and many have said they are trash while others have had no issues and love them.

One thing I will say is the receiver is much better than the old ones, felt like if I was more than 2 metres away then it wouldn't pick it up. That was the reason I got my r3s but the receiver on these are very very good and had no problem with the range or them picking them up

Yeah I get that mate I'll be hoe at I like the Titan (not the hide just because of first hand experience with them) but I do like the more expensive versions just find the quality a lot better. I think every company has there good and bad points I suppose and I do agree with most people will have different opinions on things. I love my tempest but my friend hates them each to there own lol

The alarms having issues in the rain is not really a quality control problem. Its a manufacturing problem that wont be picked up until tue unit is used in the rain. Only alternative would be putting all alarms out under a hose for a few hours and tested before they are sent out, but then theyd all be considered used.
End of the day its taken them 10 years to design these new ones and they haven't sorted out most fundamental error the old ones had which was issues in the rain. You dont buy an alarm to be be setting up at the lake only to find because the last time you used them in rain that they are now playing up each time....its like running the gauntlet each time you wish to go fishing...are they going to work, are they not!
They have over complicated the new alarms and yes some of the ideas are good but i dont think they were necessary, where mine for example have got grit stuck in the two buttons on the front that you use to turn them on there was never an issue with the switch on the old models, that wasn't a problem and indirectly they have created a new one.
We see plenty of rain in the UK so you need waterproof alarms, ones that dont play up with grit etc getting on them.....sorry Delkim but ive lost count of the amount of sets that ive sent back old and new, enough is enough

You have got to be the most unlucky person in the world keep sending sets and sets of delks back for repair.
Ive owned 3 sets over 15 years and apart from a discoloured led on one never had a problem nor has any of my friends fishing with them.
If i was you with so many faulty sets would of changed brand long time ago
