Sometimes you have no choice. I went to buy a toaster recently. Every

The daughter wanted an over the range microwave. We strolled down the
micro aisle at the borg, and she opens an E-wave. I says "Made in Korea".
I says "you don't want that". As we opened all the others, GE, Maytag,
Fridge, all the "US" made brands - every damned microwave is made in
Korea! I would guess, after taking a look, they all may have come out of
the same factory.
