Unfortunately, like most items available in the U.S., this radio was made in China.

Yeah Id like to know if its from China (most likely ) since its so cheap but I want to be sure.

No. That is why this one was about half-price. My experience has been that it is often cheaper to buy more tools, just to get the battery packs and chargers, than to pay full price for "bare" batteries.

Just like the older version of this product, the rechargeable batteries CANNOT be replaced. It even says on the product sticker, "No replaceable parts." I called Philips and they confirmed that it's like this "because it's made in China" (I am NOT making this up). They then offered to sell me this newer version of the SAD lamp at a substantial discount, i.e., what amazon charges. Philips also confirmed that this model also sports this fatal flaw. My God, how much more would it cost those brigands to update the design with rechargeable batteries (the answer is NOT MUCH). What a joke.

I couldn't say why it says that, but I can tell you I received the batteries from Hong Kong and they work just fine.

This is a Chinese product from China. Typical of Chinese products you get great value for the money with no instructions, no warranty, and no accessories. Sometimes poor build quality.Best to consider this a hobbyist light because you've got to know something about rechargeable Chinese Li-ion batteries and how to treat them. Can be hazardous if not treated properly.The batteries are extra and run from low quality to high quality. Price ranges accordingly. You'll need to buy a charger for 18650's too. My deluxe charger goes for over $40, but it is very versatile and charges all four batteries at once. This is a Chinese product from China.

I didn't recall where it's made; however, it's cheaply made and I returned it less some heavy costs.

both the original and replacement say "cell made in korea, assembled in china"i have to add the replacement weighs less than the original battery.

The unit is made in China, however, I can honestly say that it seems very well built, and it worked extremely well in rejuvinating my coach batteries on my American Tradition motorhome. It saved me over $600 if I had to replace those two batteries. I couldn't agree with you more, that "Made In the USA" products are, for the most part, absolute top of the line in quality and performance. However, I also had a difficult time finding a unit like this that was American made.

Yes it takes 2 triple A batteries. It seems to work OK but the battery cover does not fit very well. More crap from China. One would think companies that use China for manufacturing who have someone from here over there doing QA. For 50 bucks the battery cover should fit.

Alas, Denise, the product is made in China. On the upside, it does work well.

I would be happy to have it work at all. It's a piece of cheap chinese crap being sold as costly American sturdy.

I keep mine in my room. China has alot of new battery packs that are very light weight compared to lead. The motor doesn't do so well with the regenerative brake connected and the pedal assist switch isn't that great either. If I could find a 36V 8-12ah battery pack with the charger included, I wouldn't care where it was manufactured, I'd pay an extra $100 and wait a month for delivery. Also, you may want to consider using a bike with disc brakes.

Looked all over the box and all over the phone, the back of the phone, the battery, the charging device, and it's booklet . IT DOES NOT SAY MADE IN CHINA , NOR MADE FROM ANYWHERE. It's strange that it does not have that. However, my dad went to Europe and came back.... HE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE DEVICE. Hoped that helped a bit : )
