yeah, it makes me wonder too... but it does have a 2 year warranty, and the company that sells them is within a ~4 hour drive (worth it for price/performance as advertised)

It is made overseas, but to some degree, anymore that *may* not mean much. As in, even the big brands, many of them have overseas parts anyway. Even the "Made in USA" stuff, sometimes is just assembled in USA.
