Today's Newspaper: EU and China
Hi, I found two interesting things in the today''s paper: 1) The EU will have tariffs on Chinese products in order to protect EU companies. 2) EU companies are disappointed about their sales in China and will therefore invest in other markets. Also, many companies will reduce their re-investments in...

Re: Stainless insulated drinking bottle, made in Germany
Just came across this stainless insulated drinking bottle. The Alfi IsoBottle made in Germany. https://alfi.com.my/product/isobottle/ Name didn't ring a bell until I saw their isolated coffee cans. Many hotels and restaurants use them because they are of good quality. Since I didn't find a "ch...

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. Well thank you but in general I'm looking for the needle in the haystack because Germany belongs to t...

Re: Drones not made in China?
Maybe RC model planes could be an alternative. Anyone who has some experience in building a model plane should be able to install an action cam on it. Well, you don't get a live view but compared to the price of a drone, the RC model plane is a steal! And if you think they go to fast, build a minia...

My experiences with Ritter toaster and water cooker
Hi, my experiences with the Ritter toaster and water cooker are not only they are much more comfortable than Chinese makes, they also need much less cleaning. The toaster doesn't burn the crumbs that fall off, it just seems to dry them. The water cooker doesn't collect a thick white crust inside, in...

Photographic lenses and who makes them
Update: I made some research about the Meyer Optik Görlitz brand since testers say they even made legendary lenses better (brighter and/or sharper) and because they also produce the Biotar (formerly of Carl Zeiss Jena, who were forced to merge with Meyer and Pentacon in GDR). Their actual owner is O...

Re: Kärcher moved production of steam cleaners to China
Now that's so stupid! Years ago, some once-flourishing German toolmakers got bankrupt after they turned themselves into a
laughing stock by switching from professional quality to Chinese cheapo-stuff. Kärcher surely didn't learn from this.
