Interesting message on the Pro's Pro website

[elsk]

Pro's Pro seem to think they are being badmouthed by other vendors because they manufacture their machines in China. Honestly I am tempted to buy a Pro's Pro machine as they are competitively priced but I cannot find a review of their relatively new electric machines.

What is your experience with Pro's Pro and their machines?

I have been using their crank machine (pros pro comet) since October and it is smooth sailing. No problems at all with the tensioner or the clamps..

Still use a challenger 1 but removed the fixed clamps as they weren't holding thin polys well.

Just went back to floating clamps.

China can make a range of quality. If you want good stuff from China, it's possible. If you want bad stuff from China, it's possible. All depends how much the company is willing to pay manufacturers. People who hate on products immediately because it's "Made in China" are so incredibly stupid.

"Made in _____" doesn't mean much on its own. In many countries calling something "Made in _____" requires that __% of the "value added" was added in that country. What % of value added is subjective, and as you can guess, it can be manipulated by manufacturers to their advantage.

Ask Pro's Pro where the QC is done, where the machines are assembled, and where the components are made.

It's amazing that many people think that iPhones are made in the USA. The U.S. contribution to the iPhone is Apple's labeling it with Designed in California in larger lettering, and Made in China in smaller lettering. Like Babolat labeling their racquets Designed in France (larger lettering) and Made in China (smaller lettering).

Let’s see Pro’s Pro put their money where their mouth is and compare what really matters - their QC and tolerances, versus their competitors. I’m not saying they make all garbage. But IME you do get what you pay for with stringing machines, as you do with a lot of other products.

And anyone who doesn’t know most (if not all) stringing machines (and just about everything else these days) are manufactured in China, you’ve been living under a giant rock for quite some time.

Hey, who'd have ever thought made in France meant quality? But the Mighty Sensor is tip top.

^^ Sure, for wine and pastries. But stringing machines?

I know, right? But the Mighty Sensor is as sweet as wine and yummy as a pastry!

Sweet wine!? Well unless we're talking about Ports.

Anyone try the new maschines? The Comet sure looks good! So does the MT200!

One particular company makes very high quality stringing machines and accessories in The Netherlands.
