The rating system (1 to 5) we used to evaluate these manufacturers is based on the percentage of materials from which they assemble their products, that are actually produced in the US.

5 stars: Virtually the entire product is assembled by American workers using quality US sourced parts, and the manufacturer produces at least one model in this style.
4 stars: (4.0-4.9) This product might contain a percentage of foreign made materials, but is still assembled entirely in the US. The foreign materials used will be equal or greater in quality than any American counterpart.
3 stars: (3.0-3.9) A greater proportion of this product contains foreign based materials including up to the entire product. The foreign materials will be of decent quality, nearly matching that of a domestic counterpart.
2 stars: (2.0-2.9) This product contains all foreign made materials, is assembled in the US, but some or all of the foreign materials will be of a lower quality compared to a US sourced item.
1 star: We could not determine or the manufacturer did not provide enough details as to the amount of materials are made in the US. One should not automatically assume the product does not contain any US made parts or labor, they may in fact be made entirely in the US, but we simply were not able to give an accurate estimate to the amount.
