Is that mean that Cat made in China is the same as Cat made in USAI have a funny story about that. Cat does bring machines made in China into the United States and a few years ago there was a crew from China traveling in this country looking to buy used equipment. I was working at the local Cat dealer then and showed some machines in the used equipment yard to them. They liked all they saw until they checked serial numbers and found those were China made machines. They suddenly lost all interest and left.
Try buying a China-made 'dehumidifier' and see how long it lasts. If you get ONE YEAR out of it you will be lucky. I have gone thru -FIVE- in four years and two more that were DOA. I can't find an America made one.I cant even put a China-made part on my mower and get it to live long.
I don't know but I got rid of my American made one that I had for 15 or more years and still worked great. It had limited controls so I had it on a timer to turn on/off. I thought I'd get a bigger and 'better one' with an electronic thermostat and better controls. Boy am I sorry now after going thru so many Chinese made ones. Since then I have read all the 'consumer complaints' and similar experiences.Compressors have no longevity, are the basis for both dehumidifiers(Basically fresh water condensers) and refrigerators. Full of a refrigerant and oil.

The BIGGEST problem- you can get your money back for the defective dehumidifier but YOU have to get rid of it yourself, which can be costly in some locations. I heard refrigerators made in China have the same problem, they quickly wear out.
