> and put together sloppily made Chinese made parts
... and you can't even blame the Chinese.
I've worked a bit for companies having custom hardware manufactured in China. The factory will build exactly what you pay them for.
From sloppy stuff thrown into a box and shipped untested to clean work with reliable parts and a burn in test done before it leaves the factory. It's just that every additional step costs extra and the dignified western industrialists are trying to save money there...
I never blamed the Chinese suppliers, since to me as the end consumer it's irelevant who their suppliers are and what they do, I only blamed the German companies that sold me the product since I gave them the money not to their Chinese suppliers so it's their responsibility to provide me with a quality product.
