I have not yet used this product but was extremely dissappointed to see that it was made in China. It will forever taint my opinion of this product and Bosch. Unfortunately there is no way to know before buying it. It would have definately influenced my decision. Everytime we purchase something made offshore we are endorsing the manufacturers decision to not invest in America. We as purchasers need to begin demanding the place of manufacture to be prominently displayed in all advertising.
