It's difficult to find a lot of things that are non-china made in the kitchen. I tried finding a toaster (to no success), a coffee-maker (to no success). I also tried to find an alarm clock. Found one online from the 1960's that worked, made in USA. I was purchasing lawn furniture this week and was happy to find a lot of made in USA lawn furniture !
There is a store in NYC that has online store that sells cleaned and refurbished made in USA kitchen appliance items from decades ago. They have waffle makers. https://www.toastercentral.com/waffles.htm
KitchenAid, Krupps, Cuisinart and Breville should cover most all your kitchen needs (all were at least US as of last year), and whirlpool for any of your major appliance needs
Edit - also forgot Maytag, and just checked, my black and decker toaster isn’t that old and says it’s made in US
I think Breville is now made in China. Black and Decker is hard to find where it's made. I wish companies would start specifying where everything was made. Transparency !
Agreed, and I think we will start seeing that. I've been seeing more and more on Amazon that any US product says in the product description "Made in the USA." It's rare, but I now just look for that, and if I don't see it, assume it's Chinese.
As far as Breville, you could be right, I just found that on an info page, but I know the rest are American. Black and Decker is the only one where I'm basing it off my own toaster that I took a look at (tossing all my Chinese stuff and repurchasing quality), and it's about 5 years old, so definitely possible it's different now.
