New Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Dependibility,CRAP???

[Standard 64]

I just bought the sam ash black and tan hot rod deluxe(125 made only).It comes with a 5 year warranty.I like the tone playing it through my 2x12 avatar cab and I'm digging it.Question is some say these amps are garbage,low budget,on a downward spiral to doom.Anybody agree or disagree?It does have a long warranty.I have 45 days to exchange and upgrade if I want but 40 watts is about my limit and where I want to be and I dont want to go any lower in wattage either.Thanks.
