And we're assuming that they will change? With a higher cost of labor, are they also going to increase their costs there too?
I think that we could expect higher quality from Made in USA compared to Made in China.
High quality electrical components and appliances should not add much to the cost of making the device.
Yes, I am willing to pay more for Made in the USA and I expect the product to be high quality just like they were 60 years ago when Zenith in Chicago made TVs and radios and our refrigerators were made in the USA and lasted for at least 25 years. And kitchen bread slice toasters? Heck, some of those Made in the USA appliances might last 100 years.

It all adds up. You ask for components that fit much tighter tolerances, you use better circuit boards, more surge protection, better heat sinks, more rugged mountings, tighter seals, thicker plastic on the cases, etc, etc. You also tend to put the units through more thorough testing.
