Mr. Patel; this is an American made machine. I don't know why everyone immediatly thinks China when they see a new piece of equipment come to the market. I am thinking that India would be a much better choice to lower the cost of a machine. After all, they are a democracy over there, eh?

The Activator is made for us in sunny California. The manufacturer wants to enter the market with big volume and set the price low to do so.

Although I don't see the price staying there too long.

Actually Chuck, the Chinese don't even want to talk to any small manufacturer unless there is a Million dollars or more involved. The Idians have a very low labour cost as well, and will do deals as low as $20,000 or more, which is much more practical for a small businessman starting a project.I have looked into both countries for manufacturing goods, and the Indian prices are just as competitive on the smaller goods orders.

I have dealt with Singapore, China, Malaysia, and Tiawan when I was in manufacturing.  I was working for larger corporations.

That is a $1699 Cdn machine Steamer, last time I was talking to Ted about it. There is a package deal with pads for $1999 as well I believe.

Sent Apex to Europe. Leo needed it there. The machine we sell in North America is built for us now in California.
