Watch out for this in all reputable manufacturing brands, as they all seem to have cut costs by now producing at least some of their product in China as well as other countries where costs are lower and quality control less stringent. Many of them established a solid reputation for quality output in a single country of origin, but have since 'outsourced' some of their production to cheaper venues.

Kitchen aid does this with their stand mixers. If I recall correctly, some of their big box sold ones, that go on deep sales, have less powerful motors etc.
