Product review (5 stars): This is an OE part, not a cheap China knock-off!
Took less than 10 minutes to install in our dryer, works great.  This is an original (OE) Whirlpool part manufactured and sold by Whirlpool (the box it arrived in also stated such).  Coil is heavy and thick, not the thin type made in China.  For the few extra bucks buy this element, you won't regret it.
