I was here on amazon looking to buy another one for a new detached garage but the issues people are having with the imported version have scared me away

If a manufacturer is going to outsource production and jobs to china at least they can specify high quality components like hoses and then have an incoming qa department in the usa to ensure engineering specifications are met
