I have a Rival which is about 8 years old.
It's one of the last made in the USA.
Now, they're all made in China.
Quality has gone way down. They had
a big recall a couple years ago because
the handles were falling off.

Although the Rival name is on the pots,
I guess they were made by Holmes,
or maybe Holmes bought out Rival.
Holmes is among the worst manufacturers
of home appliances. I had one of their
space heaters that was incredibly
incompetently designed. It could
easily have set the house on fire.

This is the cost of the walmartization
of America. All of our appliances are
made-in-China junk. Best to go on eBay
and buy an old one.
