Well last weekend I went to Lowes and bought a couple faucets. Of the hundreds that were on the wall of faucets in front of me only a few were USA.
Some delta, some Moen, some others.
I purchased a Moen Kitchen and Moen Bathroom Faucet.
Just reminding everyone to check the labels. I did spend close to a hour looking at labels, figuring out which ones were USA made, which ones had features and fit I wanted etc.
...yep all over two faucets. lol

Got Delta in boat and home. Something most are not aware of-they will send repair parts for leaking faucets free of charge. No matter how old and no proof required. Call and give the part #.

Wish I had known that. One of the ones I replaced was a Delta in the kitchen and it looked like new, just had a drip on the hot water side.

I just put a repair kit in mine about a month ago. I think the kit was about $6 easy fix.

I more than likely would have just screwed it up. lol When I asked Moen for a list of their products made here (since I could only find a few at Lowes) their reply was pretty much the run around. rofl.
Oh well. I was hoping to get a good list I could share.
Thanks for your interest in Moen products. The majority of Moen faucets are manufactured and/or assembled in the U.S. with foreign and domestic parts. We help contractors meet the requirements of the Buy American Act (BAA) by manufacturing and assembling hundreds of products in three U.S plants in North Carolina and Pennsylvania, including stainless steel sinks. Many faucets are assembled in our New Bern, North Carolina facility such that it meets the current requirements of the BAA. Moen also manufactures some products in other global locations that primarily service markets in those regions. Regardless where they are manufactured, all Moen products pass all evaluation and certification testing and meet or exceed national standards for product performance. All Moen products are covered under our Limited Lifetime Warranty as long as you own the product. Should you have additional questions, you may contact us via Moen’s website.

My first 5 years out of high school, I worked at Delta in Greensburg, IN. Yeppers, I could have switched out them seats & springs & put
new o-rings on that sucka for ya in about 5 minutes - new faucet!
p.s. that is about the only thing that will make a faucet drip (seals)
