Anecdotal, I have had a few items made in China over the years I've replaced with USA made stuff that was much higher quality: my gas grill (going on 7 years of use, chinese one lasted 2 years) and some bakeware I recently bought.
Some things are better from here, some aren't, but lately most of the items I buy from the US are usually higher quality, albeit often much more expensive.
- hello_moto 15y agoIt's not anecdotal and I agree with you: some things are better and some aren't. Perhaps there were a time in the past (of my boss's life) where made in USA weren't as good as it promised/advertised thus giving way to made in China.
- qdog 15y agoWhen I grew up in the late 70's and the 80's, a lot of US made stuff seemed to be crap. I think that part or most of the stuff now made in the US is more quality, because it's much more difficult to make cheap stuff and compete with China.
