It's made by Midea, one of the largest appliance manufacturers in the world. Trade depot can be a bit sketch, esp with warranty i hear so YMMV.
I get at least half a dozen per week, i forward them all to DIA on 7726

I saw on interest.co.nz that there are still lots of people on 3-4% who will roll onto ~7% in the next 6 months.
It's definitely not straight forward doom and gloom but one to watch.
