Well most electronics today is manufactured in China.
As an electronics technician all this stuff is very poorly designed & very difficult to repair.
I for one don't trust most of the consumer electronic equipment these days as the circuitry has underated components in high voltage & high temperature circuits. The equipment fails just out of warranty, Leaving you to pay for repairs, "If repairable", or just chuck it out & buy another. They also have illogical on screen menus & poor layout of controls,
I recommend you pull the power cord out of the mains supply if you intend not to be at home for more then a day or too.
