There isnt a single product made in America that is cheaper here than in China. The only exception might be some software services and SOME defense/aerospace products. Thats it.

If you want a top notch refrigerator get yourself a sub-zero. Working class man I suggest you get a Maytag. If you want a top notch stove go get a Viking. Working class man go get a Maytag or GE. When it comes to longevity and great function I would rather purchase certain products that are made in the USA. Just from experience.
