Taiwanese manufacturing is known for more expensive high quality products than China.
The US hasn't made any high quality products since the end of the 1960s.
There's a 'museum' (which looks like a room in somebody's apartment) of antique toasters in NYC somewhere. I saw this on television once. They got toasters a century old, older even...... that still work. They still work. They might use a lot of electricity. It might be a little bit too exposed on the side for anybody with fingers. But. they. still. work.
You buy toaster now, and in 5 months you need a replacement.
Last year, the gardeners were pruning the bushes, and one of them took a pair of pruning shears to a big thick branch. I said I got a saw if you want, I don't want you to damage that thing. I mean, this thing was like 3 inches wide. He turns it to its side and points and says see that? Made in Switzerland. No need to worry.
You do that with one made here, and that thing will fall apart before you get through the bark. I know, I've done it.
US manufacturing is not known for more expensive higher quality products than China, they simply are more expensive higher quality products than China because the Chinese ones were made as cheaply as possible and designed to fall apart, just like their American counterparts, only quicker. Which means customers will just go back to Home Depot to buy another one even sooner.
