Where are Brandit bags made?

Hi, I have trouble in finding out where bags of the German make Brandit are made because every site says something different: 1) NGOs: Made in different countries from Chinese cotton, no child labour involved (based on 2013 information) 2) some Sellers: All made from synthetic fiber (so no Chinese C...

Re: Meat slicer for home use not made in China

You can get slicers much cheaper from ritter, all made in in Germany. See here: https://www.ritterwerk.de/en/food-slicers
If you're short on space, they also offer built-in systems: https://www.ritterwerk.de/en/built-in-systems

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...
