"Don't buy generic electrical goods from East Asia" is pretty good advice in general, given that some people have been literally electrocuted by faulty low-cost equipment sourced from the region.
- kuschku 12y ago“Only buy electronical goods from East Asia that passed VDE, TÜV Nord, GS and CE specifications and tests”. (Interestingly, a lot of the US–produced products do not pass these tests either. The German standards for product quality are some of the highest existing and they have actually the ability to test all the imported stuff. Just don’t ever trust the TÜV Süd)
- tmp26 12y agoThis might have just been rumor, but I've heard tell of devices with fake CE stickers.
