ARE ALL PRODUCTS MADE IN CHINA, MADE WELL?

Ankesh, they may be low priced in India but they're certainly not in USA. In fact, sometimes they're priced above what we used to pay for US made products that do the same thing only better.

In the USA, based on my recent experiences, they're selling what should be marked as 'seconds' as first quality merchandise (which is technically illegal). Unfortunately, if you're looking for good merchandise, and the 'seconds' label isn't on products with 'slight' defects, you never know until you get it home and then...well, then it's another day off lost to returning merchandise over the mountains instead of enjoying the day with more worthwhile pursuits.

When one considers the TRUE COST of Chinese merchandise it is more expensive, not less. You must include costs of time, wear and tear on the vehicle, gas and oil, and the value of what other uses of the time could've produced in income, leads, and health value. It's not a simple factoring process for some folks. Don't forget one has to go shopping for the item all over again which involves even more expense and time.
