It’s more about the price than quality. When you can make products that are just as good (outside of some niche areas) in China/etc. for a proportion of the cost there is very little reason not to do that unless you have no competition.
There are some premium brands that can (partially) pull it off like KitchenAid but that’s an exception.
- user3939382 1y agoMy perspective is that consumers have come to feel that price is far more important than quality whereas I feel exactly the opposite. I take pride in the things I make for a living and I prefer to be surrounded by products of a similar ethos. I buy products to solve a problem and I want the problem optimally solved. In the cases when the quality is a toss up I don’t mind paying a premium to support our domestic economy.
- bluGill 1y agoMy perspective is price is not an indication of quality and often I cannot figure out what is quality - reviews are garbage. China makes some junk and some good stuff.
