Not long ago, I was in the market for a steam iron. Nowadays, just about all of them are now made in China, but I managed to find one made in Germany.

Later, I needed a toaster, but I could only find one brand that was not made in China. It was made in England and cost more than $200, so I had to settle for a $20 Chicom toaster.

I wanted a percolator and did research and found none lasted, at most, a year. Then I read somewhere to buy a vintage Farberware from ebay b/c they were made in the USA then (before they too moved to China). Its old and work great!!! I am so trying not to buy cheap stuff made in China. I want my country back!!!
