Looking for Stovetop Kettle Not Made in China

I am finding some Made in Japan but I was hoping to find a USA-made or Canadian-made stovetop kettle. The best I can do is scour eBay for old Kettles.

GE CYNC Smart Plug (maybe for holiday lights)

I was looking for a way to control the timing of my light-up holiday decorations, and the market is flooded with Chinese products. Wemo used to make a plug from Vietnam, but those products do not seem to exist anymore. I have ordered the following alternative, also made in Vietnam:

GE CYNC Smart Plug

I'll tell you how it works. The reviews on Amazon have it better than the WeMo, but I'll update in the comments below.

Asus AX55 Nano WIfi 6 USB Adapter - Made in Taiwan

Was looking around Microcenter (Nov 2024) and found this Asus USB adapter made in Taiwan, which is surprising since Asus doesn't have a lot of NMIC products. It's been a while since a NMIC Wifi Adapter has been highlighted on this sub so thought I would share this one.

It worked for me on Windows 10.

EVGA 750GT Supernova PC Power Supply - Made in Taiwan

Bought from Amazon October 2024. Amazon used to list the country of origin for PSUs and other PC parts in the specs/details section but I don't see that anymore. Has anyone else noticed that or is it just me?

But I was confident that this EVGA PSU was NMIC so I bought it. Just wanted to share in case anyone else needs an above-average 750W PSU NMIC

Edit: Thought I added pic when I posted, but now posted:

EVGA 750GT Made in Taiwan (as of Oct 2024)

Dual USB-C charger for phones (EU plug)?

I am looking for a charger that has (at least) 2 USB-C ports to charge my phone or tablet and other small devices (so 30-40W).

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I’ve searched around but it’s always USB-C cables and I need a charger, not cables. :/

Ensure you do your own research finding on the right tourniquet that fits your on your ongoing life if its mostly working medical, daily life etc. No tourniquet is perfect. AVOID AND AVOID tourniquets made in CHINA for which they're breakable and not functionable and be skeptical to ones that are cheaper in price mostly China made. I’m not sponsored by anyone I just do my research and find the info and I share it if the info is not out there for my benefit and yours. I hope you find the right one.

Thank you and you welcome

Lightweight camera tripod with flip locks?

Does anyone know which brand makes a good quality camera tripod with flip locks? I don't want something like Peak Design since it is too expensive. Aluminum is good enough.

Occulink adapters

I’ve done a lot of searching for occulink adapters (ideally 8x, but 4x is usable) going to and from pcie. All the ones I’ve found are made in China by a Chinese company. Are there any that aren’t made in China or are at least made by a non-Chinese company?

Looking for a laptop bag (briefcase or backpack)

That's not made in china, aka most major brands like Samsonite, Asus, dell, hp make it in china ..💀 the reviews are mostly good but all negative ones are about poor workmanship and durability.

I need it for a 17inch laptop, its charger and a mouse , its base and phone+charger. It needs to have padding and to be a tight fit so the laptop doesn't bounce around. /Straps ?

I looked into leather ones as well, in Europe, but it turns out it's manufactured in China? Why would I pay 350 + euros for poor quality Chinese leather ..

I've used CoverON phone wallets since before I was aware of not buying Chinese. I LOVE them and need a new one but discovered they're made in China. Anyone know of an alternative for a Moto G Power 2021 phone?

Kids-oriented big set of paint markers

I can find NMIC paint markers (made in Germany, mostly) in small sets aimed at adults for about €15 a set of 6. MIC one can get big sets — like 30 colours — for about €12, though I'd be happy to pay up to say twice that (€24).

I don't want to get super-high-quality since my impression of seven-year-olds leads me to suspect the pens are probably not going to be treated with great care and tenderness…

Avoid Equa water bottles

Was looking for a reusable smart water bottle made in Europe. On their website, Equa make it look as if their products are made in Europe. However, once you receive the bottle, you‘ll be surprised to find the good ol‘ classic „designed in EU / Made in China“.

Product seems rather rubbish as well. They still use classic USB plugs, haha. Pretty much a scam all around.

USA made lightbulbs - GoodBulb

Just want to shout out this small company that manufacturers light bulbs in Fargo ND. One of the only ones I know of in the US. I'm not affiliated with the company but have sourced from them and had a good experience, they really know their stuff and are passionate about providing better lighting options. www.goodbulb.com
