I am glad that paid off for someone. I am, however, not impressed with the strato action on a bud's vacuum, but I do like the colors(Yes, this is her real vacuum over here in Ireland):

The best part is when Americans find out that what they spell and speak isn't English, but American English. Proper English can be markedly different. And Queens English/RP different again. I blame Noah Webster
As an American Ex Pat, I find myself using a mix. Sometimes I type 'realise', sometimes 'realize'. In English, the "S" sound can be like a "z" - which is a "zed" here...er... it goes on and on...
Sometimes my "English" gets corrected, either by locals, the English, or Americans. If I am ornery(a word rarely used outside the US, I am finding) I usually ask them "In which English are you referring?" If they can't tell me, I ask them how it is they feel qualified to police the language.
Sweeeeedish haha
No kidding. If all you got for ST is a misspelled word then stay on the porch---with me
I don't agree with everything ST says but the man knows his ****.

Don't forget Canadian English, EH. We too also say 'zed'.The best part is when Americans find out that what they spell and speak isn't English, but American English. Proper English can be markedly different. And Queens English/RP different again. I blame Noah Webster

Yesterday was 'talk like a Canadian day' at work. Ooh yeah, eh? The Irish did a crap job of it, I might add. I told them all to go home and watch "Fargo" - that should get them part of the way.

Yeah Our Rep brought one in during the summer. hopefully it'll sell.
Zenoah makes some quality equipment. In fact, the Ryobi 10532 saws were considered a really good deal because they had Zenoah engines under all that cheaper Chinese plastic.
Say it aint sooo!!! They have gutted Shindaiwa??? So even their their trimmers and blowers aren't Shindaiwa built anymore???? I know Echo had started mixing their junk into Shindaiwa's lineup but there are still some original Shindaiwas in there. What about the chainsaws sold abroad? Are those still Shindaiwa built or did they completely axe those completely?
That is a orange Redmax hedge trimmer no doubt.Well, here is the inside scoop. I need to check in for some vision repair....................or quit speed reading MADE IN JAPAN on the ID tag
I do not like this merging and mixing thing going on lately. I want to know what I buy is actually the brand it says on the machine. At least Redmax Zenoah is owned by a company who seems to be letting it run on its own. Shindaiwa is getting slaughtered by Echo by what I hear and its sad. They used to make one heck of lineup of landscaping equipment that was 10:1 better than Echo. (I've had them all)
I have also noticed that my Redmax backpack blowers don't say made in Japan anymore...

The Japanese made some great quality stuff that used to fill the shelves here back in the 70's and 80's. In many cases, their stuff was better than ours. Now, shelves are full of crappy Chinese made stuff.
Better having shelves full of crappy Chinese made stuff, than crappy US made stuff, cost much less that way. The industrial capacity in China is outstanding and they will make whatever we want to our standards. If "we" want crap then that's what we get. If our industries want quality, we can get that also.

What a contradication " INVEST IN AMERICA BUY AMERICAN MADE .......BUY A STIHL......VIRGINIA BEACH, VA HOME OF THE WORLD'S BEST SELLING SAW " I though Stihl was a german owned company ?
I know right. Just like Honda and Toyota are Japanese but make most of their cars in America that they sell here in America. Who knows what comes from where or who is even who anymore. This world is just one big cluster_.
I agree completely. I live just across the Chesapeake Bay from VA Beach, where the Stihl factory is. Yes, they do build saws there and they do provide some good jobs, but the corporate profits still go back to Germany. They are not an American company like Poulan is.
It makes me a bit sick to hear people tell us to buy Stihl because it's "made in America".
This is very true, too. The chinese are capable of making very good stuff, but the demand is usually for cheap products, so that's what they make. People complain about Chinese "taking our jobs", but if you had ever been to China and see how hard those prople work to barely make ends meet, you'd quickly eat your words. I've been there twice, over all parts of the country, and those people kick our butts for their work ethic. We could learn a thing or two from them.

I personally prefer quality over crap, but I guess it's all in what you like.

It is, but they do at least assamble the smaller models (less than 65 cc) in the US as well, for certain markets + they have factories at least in Brazil and China, and likely more countries.
