Re: My experiences with Ritter toaster and water cooker

I'm a bit jealous of you guys in Europe...it seems that you have so many more options than we do in the US. It's pathetic how quickly so many US brands are willing to sell themselves out for money.

Re: Drones not made in China?

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell there are literally no consumer drone manufacturers left anywhere in the world. Parrot (based in France) and Skydio (based in the US) used to produce consumer drones, but they left the consumer market. GoPro attempted to break into the market but they failed. Iron...

Re: Christmas Lights Not Made in China?

I remember when I started this site, Christmas lights was one of those categories that confounded me. It was IMPOSSIBLE to find any that weren't made in China, so I gave up for a while. Like you, this past Christmas I spent a few hours going through dead bulbs and entire strings that wouldn't line u...

Re: Some candles are possibly made in China now

I remember when I visited Beijing in 1999 walking off the plane and being slammed in the face with a wall of smog, which persisted throughout my trip.
