MDF Metal detecting & metal detectors resource: a friendly forum to discuss all your detecting needs and promoting responsible metal detecting for all.
Good luck Angelo,
hope it works as it should. It's not a very good advertisement for Blisstool. Up to a month, six weeks at a push, as it's being sent abroad I think would be a reasonable turnaround, but at least you got it back.

I did see this issue aired on the Blisstool UK forum and obviously, it is most unsatisfactory. Darryn, the UK dealer had to give up due to severe health issues and Ahmed did not get/find anyone to replace him. This meant that any detectors with problems had to be sent back to Bulgaria which doesn't seem to have turned out to be a practical way of sorting things out as 'Angelo' experienced. Currently, Ahmed, who made the Blisstool detectors, has turned his attention to making an electric "hypercar" called the Alieno Arcanum. Ahmed is named on the 'Alieno' website as the 'Chief Constructor' of the car. I don't know if any of these cars have actually been made yet or whether they are still at the computer simulation stage but anyone pre- ordering one will, if my understanding of what I have read is correct, have to pay 750,000 EUR for the cheapest 'base model' and then wait 18-30 months for it to be physically constructed. Maybe, the Blisstool is taking a bit of a back seat, so to speak, if Ahmed's enthusiasm and attention is now on another project. Blisstool users here will be disappointed if this is the case because we were all hoping that refinements would be made to the detector which would make it easier to use, particularly for new purchasers since they are the ones who so often encounter numerous problems regarding the setting up of the machine. Personally, I don't think any refinements or improvements will be forthcoming at this late stage of the detector's life though I would be happy to be proved wrong.
