Mill City is USA distributor for North in China

Steve (mill city) buys roasters in pieces and assembles them here..

I bought my machine right before Steve became distributor..
My machine came from China by boat through the Mediterranean Sea, so it maybe better to order direct from China..
I would ask Tim in China to send a machine the same as Mill City orders but assembled..
North may change small items on roaster unless you make sure you say you what a specific item or and extra included..

Ah ok ! Thank you JK ! I understand ! yes, sure, if I decide to buy a North roaster, so it will be better to import it directly from China. I imagine that Mill City adapt the roasters for the US market. First It's good for you, but maybe not adapted for Europe, secondly I imagine cheaper direcltly from China because Mill City take his sales margin.
As a product from China, I am not sure the quality will be similar than a Toper.
Anyone know the both ?

My machine was 220 volt and needed inverter to boost 110 volt to 220v and was included from North..
It maybe cheaper as inverter looks expensive..

I'm not so sure Toper is better.. If it is it can not be by much..
North metal work is built like a tank..
Electronics are all industrial parts and not North proprietor

I have never seen a Toper in real life..
All my life I have built machines and metal parts and I think the North is a very good machine..

I just checked North weights 9KG more than Toper

Thank you very much JK for your time and for share your experience !
