Made in USA vs world
When I purchased my first DA, I looked at the PC/GG/Meg's, the Cyclo and the Flex 3401. One feature I really liked about the Cyclo was the lack of vibration. What I liked about the others is they use a 5"-6" pad size which seems to be very popular.
The final deciding factor for me was the Cyclo is Made in USA (Longmont Colorado, to be more specific) vs the Flex which is made in Germany or the PC/GG/Megs which is made in China.
How much does Made in USA factor in your purchasing decisions? Do you prefer to buy native over buying global? Does it really matter?

Re: Made in USA vs world
Buying made iin usa is really big for me. For an item to be made in usa, it has to have 100 percent of the parts to be usa made. When you buy made in us. It supports the us tax dollars and work ethic. I am starting to order online as it is hard to find stuff in stores that are made in usa. However, check the label. It might not seem as simple as you think. You need to find an ameircan flag on it. I try to support america AS Much as I can. It is hard with name brand electronics and expensive items as many americans hate expensive stuff

Re: Made in USA vs world
I don't care where it is made. If it is a good product for a good price, I'm happy to buy it. Being made in USA or not does not affect me at all.
My Camaro is made in Canada :facepalm:

Re: Made in USA vs world
I like to go with what works the best for what I am doing. If we are comparing exact same build but one was made in the u.s. and the other in a foreign country then I would choose the u.s. product. However my gf bought a new car and wanted one made overseas. She said that the build quality would be better there opposed to the states with all the union issues. Please keep in mind that is her opinion!

My Volkswagen (German) was made in Mexico. At least Canada is close to the U.S.

Me 2. The companies are looking for cheap labor that's the reason why many products come from China and Mexico too.

Re: Made in USA vs world
It attracts me if a product is made in Germany, Japan, or US (or even NOT China). But for car detailing products it is very rare the country origin makes me decide which one to buy. Only item I remember that I picked up mostly because it is German made is P21S wax.

I prefer to buy American made products, or simply avoid Chinese made products. The OP was incorrect in stating the PC was made in China, it is made in Mexico.
