Unfortunately they’ve outsourced to Vietnam. I can attest I have several USA made go ruck packs … and they do still sell a few like that. But they’ve mostly outsourced; YMMV.

I’ve had my Breville Tea Maker for years now … to the point the labels on some buttons are worn off … one of my favourite purchases.

If there’s one brand I’m not buying again it’s LG.

I know of two LG dishwashers (mine and my parents) that have… issues.

My fridge from them is okay but I’m fairly confident there have been a few times that freeze portion had gone significantly above its set temperature because some popsicles melted. I’ve also had issues with the ice maker design not actually knocking down the ice so I have to open up the door and bang on it to break it loose, at which point a few pieces of ice fly onto the floor.

My oven/electric range from them well … so far so good on that one. I do wish there were actual knobs/buttons instead of the weird “touch” buttons but that just seems to be the trend these days.

The main thing that kills cables is sitting a phone in portrait on one’s chest and having it plugged in for charging. That creates a nice 90-degree or nearly 90-degree bend that just destroys the cable over time.

My Samsung washer and dryer have been doing fine.

My only complaint is the drier doesn’t have an option to run for long enough to dry a blanket out on low heat. So I have to do several manual runs.
