That's the trouble with the made in China stuff that hides behind a store brand name. It's really hit and miss. It looks OK and the price is good, but chances are high that something has been skimped on to meet the price point. Poor quality components, sloppy manufacturing tolerances and lack of customer support have steered me away from Chinese goods (especially for business use). If it doesn't specifically say made in North America or Europe, I shy away.
