logical price in relation to the quality, I do not complain, do not advertise, but it is, compared to the price of a machine leading on the market, ok

Did you tried a V6 or X8?
Or a Miracle?
Or a Silca?

(Please don't misunderstand me, I'm just curious)

I have bought the latest Silca Futura Na, and not happy with it... a £9000 machine!, does not cut/decode most cylinder keys, Ym!5, Maz24, Hu101, Va6 and hu64 blades, foned Silca rep few times, but the Usuall do it like this or like that BS story i still use my spare miracle A5 on these.

The new Miracle does what the tin says.

I am thinking to buy new XC mini plus condor...It seems good machine

First - you can't compare Manual and Automatic machine.
If you need Automatic - it depends on the volume of work you have to cover.
X6 is good for very low volume. It has spare parts you can buy in case something dies.
I'm not a fan of the kkkcut SEC machines, so can't give a recommendation on them.
If you need to cover middle volume of work or you have more demanding requirements on quality and stability, you should go with the automobile version of Miracle or with the Condor Mini machines. Both are almost equal but have some differences. Good thing is they both have very good support and will do most of the work without questions. For me Condor (non plus version can be found for less than the Plus and there's no functional differences) would be the choice if I had to cover only car keys. It has more benefits, like getting VVDI BGA tool with big discount.

For the higher volumes - Silca or Keyline with my recommendation going to Keyline for the better price/usefulness ratio.

.

Really? There arent differences?

**sleepyrz** · 16th February, 2019, 01:55 AM

not many really

And...condor dolphin? It cost less than old xcmini

**autoTkey** · 18th February, 2019, 02:49 PM

Differences with Dolphin are obvious. So what about it?
It works only by connecting and controlling with your phone, like KDX2.

This difference decrease price...and the machine seems good. Is a condor machine...It s a good Product or not?

What happened with your sec09 machine?
Isn't it possible to get any spare parts for this one.
The X8/V6 is a really downgrade from this one.

You cant get the Dolph yet. It will not be available for quite some time.

If I was in your situation, I would try to get spare parts. Did you ask the factory for support?
