I have one made in Korea and one made in China and they both have broke now. Light not lighting up. You have to take it apart and solder the wires back on.

I have worked for CHI USA for the last three years and we are indeed making irons and hairdryers here in Texas. I am in charge of making the printed circuit boards for these products and we are gradually moving more products from being built in China and Korea to the USA. If the product says "Made in the USA" it is indeed made here in Houston of all American parts. If it says "Assembled in the USA" it means that the parts are from other countries and assembled here. I am proud to be working here and glad that we are gradually bringing back American made quality to these products.

Mine is from Korea..had it for 3-4 years and it still works like I just took it out of the package.

I purchased one through Amazon that I assume was made in China. I used it once, and it quit working after that. I returned it and Amazon refunded my money immediately. I bought one for twice as much, but with warranty, from my stylist, and it too was made in China. So far so good though. The first one I had lasted over 4 years until I dropped it one too many times. :(

The original irons are made in Korea and the hair dryers are in made China. Some of the newer models are made in China.

As with other reviews, mine says made in Finland, no mention of China. I imagine it might be engineered in Finland, perhaps the handle (a pretty damn indestructible plastic from my experience) or the sheath manufactured in China and then the entire axe is manufactured in Finland. This may upset some people, but there are few things we now use which are made in a single country from start to finish. Bottom line, if you want a great hatchet for a great price, buy this.

No, it is made in Taiwan. It is not the actual original Chi energizer. I have used the original. This one is very similar. The only two differences I can find it that 1. It has padded ankle rests which is nice, and 2. It has a variable speed dial, which I personally like. I give it a 5* rating. If money were no object, I might buy the original Chi from their website because of the health studies with that particular machine and speed of movement.

I believe this is a knockoff. I HAVE the pink Chi flat iron and it looks nothing like that. The one shown has PINK ceramic plates..and ceramic plates are an orange color, as are the ones on the REAL Chi's..plus my cord is black. There is no "ss" chi. It looks like a fake to me! You can't get a REAL Chi for that cheap...I bought mine at a salon STORE with a stylist's discount and it was still $110! Try overstock.com, they guarantee that it is the real thing..and they HAVE the real thing.

After researching this extensively - Unfortunately this wonderful product is Made In China. However, I do own several & I think it is so wonderful - I use it consistently as I am an avid tea drinker. Thank You, & I hope this helps

I did not know about that. But the product works great!!! I have used many flat irons and this one is the best and less expensive than the Chi. If my flat iron would break I would just buy another they are only like $40. I hope you enjoy yours.

The one that I have purchased was made in Taiwan. In my opinion it doesn't matter where it is made at ,but what is made of and put together. I have been a collector and knife maker for years. Carbon steel has always been the most practical for ease of sharpening and what I use. Yes it does rust , but a knife is a tool not a thing to set on a shelve and stared at. Take care of your tools and they will take care of you.

A year old question, but I'll answer anyway. The knives I received were, unfortunately, made in China. I was not aware of this when I ordered the set approximately a month ago. As all of my other Wusthof knives are made in Germany, I assumed these would also be made there. I guess that's what I get for assuming! :oP

I broke my first and ordered this teapot, packaging that came with said 'made in China'. My old dearly love and used daily had MADE IN ENGLAND on the bottom. This one has nothing written anywhere on the teapot to indicate it's origin. So I would guess the answer is no.

Just to add to this conversation, even if many month later: I called All Clad and they said the tea kettle is made in China. Most of their products are. Made I n the US! Except for specialty items like this. It is made in an All Clad factory, not sub-contracted out, and it is made to their specs and monitored, as they do in all their factories. Given this response I am going to buy the tea kettle because I have had their cookware for many years and am satisfied. I have to trust them, even though I am not in the h a it of trusting corporations anymore, in particular those having anything to do with the growing and preparation of food.

Most are from China, try looking in kitchen & type wok you would be amazed too if you search other sponsors what one sees. It all depends on the type of iron it is made of too

Sorry, I had to revise my review. Had to send the darn thing back. Please read new review. Don't recall exactly, but I believe it was made in China. Isn't everything nowadays?

It's a global market. I agree, the "Made in China" should go in the information section, not the opinion section. I have a shop full of Jet, Powermatic, Shop Fox and Grizzly equipment; all made in China and/or Korea. I would prefer equipment made here, but I have no complaints about my foreign made tools.

The one I bought was made in China. I was surprised by the quality. I'm looking to buy a larger one.

Authentic CHI irons were manufactured in both the USA and China. If your CHI says made in Korea, it is probably a fake. The plastic of an authentic CHI should be matte black. If the black plastic on your original CHI is shiny, it is a fake. There are no stickers on an authentic CHI, although there should be a silver-colored ink stamp by the power switch which says LED. Your CHI should also be stamped GLOBAL BEAUTY NETWORK, INC. in silver on the handle. On authentic CHI irons, the ceramic should not chip or wear off. Cheap knockoffs are made with aluminum plates coated with ceramic. Also, the ceramic plates should "float". Press down on the plate and see if it moves. If the plate moves, or "floats", then you have the real deal. On the original model, there is an R, not TM, after CHI. If you have the owner's manual, it should say GF-1001 on the cover, with contact info for Farouk Systems at the bottom. The manual should be printed in English and should contain a one-year warranty. On the inside of the handle it should say: Farouk Systems, Inc, and below that should be a certification number (for example, Certified to: CSA-C222). Although newer models are 20-25 watts, older CHIs were 35 watts. The box your CHI came in should be printed in English, Spanish, and French. On the back of the box it should say: Manufactured for Farouk Systems, Inc. Houston TX 77090. Earlier this year, Farouk founder Farouk Shami issued a press release stating that he will be closing all overseas factories in an attempt to thwart counterfeiting. If you plan on buying a CHI in the future, make sure that it was made in the USA. Fake CHIs are common online, but have also been known to turn up in some salons and beauty supply stores. Never buy a CHI online, no matter how reputable the seller is. Farouk, like most professional manufacturers, only sells to authorized dealers!

Yes, it is made in Germany. Wonderful irons, but the one I received I believe was not new but a factory repaired one. I have now purchased elsewhere another iron.
