Japanese Made Kitchen Appliances

Solid construction and works well. Used this for small appliances in the kitchen.

I like Vortex, so I was curious if shifting production from Japan to China would result in a worse quality of a "new" product. First of all, I have to say that the Japanese have built a brand new factory in China, and the leading staff are Japanese. Nor was there any change in the output quality control. To compare the "Made in Japan" and "Made in China" versions, I had to borrow the Japanese version from my colleague. The size and weight remained roughly the same, the new version may still be slightly smaller. But what is most important? In my opinion, brightness, purity and sharpness are at the same level, but the field of view is broader at first glance at the new version. I did not see anything better in the 8x42 binoculars category (even in a higher price category). Definitely recommend this Vortex binocular regardless of the fact that it was made in China. The fantastic lifetime warranty has stayed and, in addition, you will get great GlassPak as a bonus.

Now says Made in Vietnam instead of Assembled in Vietnam. Not sure there is any difference. Made in Japan would still be better for a VERY expensive lens, from a Japanese company, but whatever. It's still as good as it ever was.

Made from an advanced Japanese silicone, or so LogicSkin informed me when I emailed them a question. It's durable, storable, and should last. The fit is near perfect over my Macbook Pro keyboard. It's a great solution to buying a dedicated keyboard for twice or three times the money. It's a quality item, not some flimsy junk. I wanted a skin I could pop off and on and this seems to work just right.

Use these to protect appliances from power surges.

japanese capacitors = high quality

Super convenient devices for all my non smart appliances

Used during hurricane Helene to power appliances with a generator.

I use it for guitar amplifiers and home appliances - have been working great.

Japanese made and great performance in this price range
