Every time I search for a product for sale they're the first search result. Amazon used to be a decent place to shop, even if you were financing a woke asshole. It's turned into a massive cesspool of Chinese trash. It's so bad that you literally can't buy name brand products in many categories on Amazon any more.

Walk into a Target, Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, Ace, or similar store and look for a space heater. You're going to see brands like Black and Decker, Honeywell, Lasko, or Holmes. Now look for one on Amazon and it's all gibberish brands like Brightown, Andily, Govee, and Dreo, and they're usually not even UL listed.

Who wants to buy all that junk Chinese trash? I just don't get it.

American brands made in China have two advantages:

  1. There's an American company to contact in case of warranty issues in your timezone that speaks your language.
  2. For products that deal with electricity, they are probably UL listed. Don't trust Chinese brands that say they're UL listed. Look them up and verify that they are. I run into products that claim to be UL listed or NSF certified that most definitely are not.
