        I know that Chinese brands have a bad reputation, but there are some really good products they make too. I have an ice cream maker (compressor based) that’s both cheaper than any of the traditional brands but also has a really fantastic build quality. It wouldn’t surprise me if over time some of the Chinese brands start to target western consumers more, and if they actually deliver quality products while the traditional brands aren’t then they might gain significant market share.
