As someone who owns a manufacturing business, I source machines from both China and the West. Western machines are works of art. Every peice has been designed and made for a specific purpose. You get a detailed manual with troubleshoting tips and service and repair options. The Chinese equivalents are usually Frankenstein machines put together from parts from who knows how many sources. Never usually have a manual and it is next to usless if it does. No support or repair, so if it breaks or doesn't work, good luck fixing it. However, Chinese machines cost 10 times less, and usually get the job done. Sometimes thats all you need. If it breaks, you can buy 10 more.
