Default home thermostat: are HD's as good as anywhere else?

I can tell you that all the major brand stats are made outside of the US these
days. They aren't very complicated and the components all come from non-US
countries anyway.

I had some Lux stats that developed a contact issue where corrosion over a
couple of years got to the point that the stat did not see a change in the
rotary switch position. I'm not convinced that that was a problem unique to Lux
though.
