Aldi is not necessarily the place to be avoided.. Sometimes they have good stuff.
Some times ago I bought a gas soldering iron, for $30!!! Similar one (from Weller Group) will cost at least $150. and it is not that much better.
The point is, you have to know what you are buying.
The branded products today (especially electronics) are manufactured at same places as un-branded ones.. and essentially in most cases what you are paying for is brand name only, and not quality.
