Re: Moderately Priced Android Tablet
Unfortunately, lower-priced tablets are likely going to come out of China, as Samsung outsources a lot of production to ODMs there. You'll have a much better chance of finding a higher end model like the Galaxy Tab S8 made in Vietnam or South Korea. Avoid anything from Amazon or Apple. Both of them ...

Re: Samsung S10
Samsung shut down its last company-owned factory in 2019, but that was less due to any geopolitical reasons and more because their company-owned factory in China wasn't making money. They ended up outsourcing much of their mid-range like (Galaxy A and Galaxy M) to China-based ODMs like Wingtech--in ...

Re: Most misleading tool ad ever! DeWalt DWE402 is made in China
I see this happening more and more. Hanlon's razor applies to most of these cases--never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity. These are likely cases where a junior staffer in the marketing department (or an ad agency) comes up with a brilliant marketing idea but doesn't run it...

3M N95 Masks made in the USA
Amazon has N95 masks on sale from 3M at a great price. https://amzn.to/39t9wsS At 58 cents a mask it's the cheapest I've seen these since the pandemic began. Hopefully we don't have to deal with another pandemic--worst comes to worst use them for cleaning and painting and construction, which is what...

Zojirushi travel mug made in Thailand
Great deal going on now for a Zojirushi Travel Mug Rare to find them under their list price of $29.99. These are made in Thailand. The prize is to find one made in Japan, but those are usually just found in Asia. They’re slightly pricier than the garbage made in China ones, and will last forever and...

Toaster from Japan
Here's a toaster I saw a poster on Slickdeals rave about today. I'm so impressed by the reviews I added it to my "best of" list. For the time being it's under $300. https://amzn.to/3wdG8Qb Here's the original post https://slickdeals.net/f/15787132-mitsubishi-electric-to-st1-t-luxury-japane...

Frying pan set made in the USA
I had to do a double-take on this one, but it looks like Kohl's is selling a Calphalon Frying Pan set for only $65. https://fave.co/3LAKIxp You can apply promo code GOSAVE25 to bring the price down to $48.74. That's about $20 less than the normal price Calphalon makes so much of their stuff in China...

Re: Toaster Ovens
Sadly, this is one category where I searched for days and weeks and can find nothing. Breville uses the weasel words "Designed in Australia, Made in China", as if that means anything. Wolf is made in China. Cuisinart, of course, is made in China. Balmuda is made in China. Instant Pot is ma...

Tiger Rice Cooker from Japan
If you’re a Costco member, here’s a great deal. It’s a Tiger 5.5 cup Micom rice cooker, made in Japan. It’s only $80 after a $20 rebate. It’s not as advanced as Zojirushi, but it’s still worlds ahead of the cheap made in China models by Black and Decker or one of those new brands no one’s heard of. ...
