Quality and initial functionality can be almost orthogonal.

It is highly likely that cheap Peltiers are not top quality.
It is less certain that all dear Peltier devices are good quality.

Peltier efect devices depend on the mechanical, thermal and electro chemica=
l
behaviour of the material. Intercell links are soldeed and the cell is
subject to large thermal stresses and high current densities.

Your question may be answered to YOUR satisfaction by not quite quoting you=
r
words.

*As in, are the cars  from Japan  really "inferior" in quality? I just
bought  a car from Japan and it seems to work fine.*

:-)

PS - My 1989 MR2 Supercharger, when actually going, will out accelerate
 anything to 30 mph from rest,  that you are liable to afford in the next 1=
0
years :-).
That doesn't make it a higher quality car (even though it may be ;-) )..
