I've got an older Delta table saw that's served me well, but with my budget around $1000, I'm considering a new one. However, I've noticed that new models, particularly those made in China, often get negative reviews. Should I be worried about quality, and are there any good options I should look at?

It’s true about the reputation of some of these new saws. A table saw is a long-term investment, so you don’t just replace it on a whim. If you want reliability, make sure to do thorough research before buying.
I can recommend the Dewalt DWE7491RS. It's a solid choice and should fit your budget. Just a heads up, it’s manufactured in Mexico, not China, which might be more reassuring for you.
Honestly, it's surprising that you'd limit yourself to Chinese-made saws when you have $1000 to spend. There are definitely alternatives that could offer better quality. Have you checked out other brands? They might even have models made in the USA or elsewhere that don't compromise on quality.
