Re: Kitchen scale not made in China

Last year I also searched for hours for a digital kitchen scale, these are not to be found. Indeed, another product that is completely dominated from China. Kern and Soehnle produce their professional models in Europe, but prices start at €270,- ($300,-). This is the cheapest professional model from...

Re: vacuum cleaners

Here in Europe, there are still some brands that produce (some) models in Europe.
Miele, as you mentioned produces most models in Europe.
Bosch, Siemens, Thomas and Vorwerk offer several made in Germany models.
Philips offers some made in Europe models.
Rowenta offers some made in France models.

Re: Hi from Europe!

I also don't think a forum of this topic attracts a very large group of people. I have been fighting alone for 2 decades, only my wife is also participating. The rest of my family, friends, acquaintances and colleagues cannot be convinced. Personally, I really don't understand that if there is a pro...

The set consisted of a compass, triangle, books, pens, backpack, earbuds, calculator, eraser, sharpener, pencil case, pencils and a binder. All the products I've bought, most on Amazon, are NOT made in China. Most ite...

Hi from Europe!

Hi, There was a time when I didn't have to look at every label before, I bought something. That was almost 20 years ago now. Since that time, I've judged pretty much everything I've bought by the country of origin. I prefer European, American, or other Western. If not available, I buy stuff from Asi...
