"High end" means quality reliable product. IMO, a good portion of goods coming from Communist China is unreliable crap and their customer service often leaves much to be desired. There is no consistency. We didn't have these problems years ago when product was made domestically and notice that the price of the imported product is just as high as it ever was.
