Re: Stainless insulated drinking bottle, made in Germany

Interesting! In the US, it looks like Alfi is trying to penetrate the market by selling serrated knives that ironically are made in the USA! https://amzn.to/3msopC6 I do see the IsoBottle on Amazon in the USA, but all except for a handful of carafes are fulfilled by sellers in the EU (including Amaz...

Re: cellphone battery pack case

Here are a few good options: https://notochina.org/power-banks-and-cables-for-smartphones-not-made-in-china/ I personally use the Mediasonic one (which is still available for purchase directly from Mediasonic on eBay). I'm very tempted to go for the Samsung 20,000 mAh version, which would be perfect...

Re: Under desk keyboard tray

Here are a couple promising choices: 1. iMovR Stowaway Ergonomic Keyboard Tray I love iMovR's transparency as they have a whole page dedicated to talking about how they make things in the USA. In addition to this model, they offer a variety of others for different desk types. 2. Ergonomic Keyboard T...

Cuckoo Rice Cooker Made in Korea

I normally recommend Zojirushi for rice cookers made in Japan, but this is the lowest I’ve seen for a NMIC rice cooker. It’s from South Korean brand Cuckoo.

Cuckoo Rice Cooker

It’s $75 and made in Korea.

Natchmann Bordeaux Wine Glasses made in Germany

Here's a crystal wine glass set made in Germany.

At the moment it's selling for $10.89 for 4 glasses. At this price, I don't know how long it'll last.

Wiper Blades Not Made in China

The wiper blades on my very old Infiniti finally gave way (I mean, the rubber completely disintegrated and flew off), so I bit the bullet and went to Amazon to buy new ones. As I've come to expect by now, the top ranking Amazon recommendations are the fake brand names like AUTOBOO, MOTIUM, AECIWELL,...

Re: Snow Tube not made in China

lol, unfortunately it's a fact of life here where I live, so we make the best of it by building snowmen, sledding, skiing, skating, etc. But I agree--after about 20 minutes playing in the snow I'd rather be on a beach with a nice cool drink in my hand. :mrgreen:

Snow Tube not made in China

I've been trying for a few years to find a sled, toboggan, or snow tube not made in China. It seemed like a completely impossible task. Every single product I found was made in China. There was a posting on Slickdeals for a cheap foam sled being sold on Walmart for $15. You can tell just by looking ...

Re: Help me change my parents’ opinions on China

Thanks for your post. I think it brings up an important point. As frustrating is it is, I don't really blame ordinary citizens in China for eating up the propaganda that the CCP pushes on them. They have been raised from infancy to not question the omnipotence of The Party. They simply lack the abil...

Re: Pliers made in the USA

Sounds great--thanks Paul. I'll definitely be taking you up on that. Coincidentally, I noticed that Amazon has dropped the price for Knipex Diagonal Cutters to its lowest price since 2020, for those readers in the USA who are interested in a good deal. There are actually a number of Knipex tools for...
