Product review (2 stars): Rebranded Chinese company Hyxion, NXR appliances.
I had a feeling this is a Chinese company pretending to be a Western / US company and I think I am right. Trying to dig some info on Thor Kitchen is difficult and not much info is available. They have a office in Chino, CA but they just import the parts stuff from China. It looks almost exactly like NXR appliances from China. There are several different brand names that look just like this, NXR, Hyxion, Kucht. Some are incorporated in NJ and once again, company info is lacking. From what I gather, NXR is a fully Chinese company venturing into the Pro kitchen appliances and they will have some growing pains, CS issues and especially warrenty issues. I'm just not sold on Chinese products, their record on safety, their record on mislabeling hazardous products, mislabeling product parts (e.g. lying about a using higher grade steel but actually using cheaper steel) and on and on.

I returned this unit after a few days. It was a little too bare bones for me. I use cast iron and the ability to use the cleaning function on a stove to clean a dirty, rusty, old cast iron will be missed. In short, I don't trust the product to last. Went with a different product. I really wanted to like this. I do like the price.
