I'm living with my brother that has some brain damage. The washing machine died. My sister is the "care taker" for my brother.
She went all about getting a refurbished washing machine with no LEDs or any shit. It works great.
I agree with you.
It’s becoming incredibly hard to find products made to last or be repaired. Some s till exist, I seek them out whenever available.
Some will pass on to my children.
Agreed. I actually spent way too much money on a fucking wallet one time. I've had this wallet for decades (Saddleback). It was not a mistake.
The company made a video of why their stuff is good and why the competition is fake crap and made sense. It was so obnoxious but funny. I cannot find it right now.
E: Also, I believe at the time their slogan was "your kids will fight over it when you are dead." Or something like that.
E2: I still have the wallet, and I don't think I will ever need a new wallet again in my life. The fucking thing is so solid.
A well designed and built product will not only serve better the first time versus cheap, it will continue for much longer doing better. Sometimes paying 5x the cost equals 50 x the savings over time not including the satisfaction of it working better.
