I've seen items made in the USA - from foreign parts. That's kind of defeating the purpose - right???
I have an Oreck vacuum, and Oreck products are made/assembled in Louisiana in the U.S., but that doesn't mean all of the components are made here. So we are pretty much at the mercy of the manufacturer. They know if we want or need the product bad enough, that we'll buy it. It would be my guess that very few people know where the items that they have in their household were manufactured - me included for the majority of products!
