Another Made in China junk!
The quality of made in China electronics went from bad to worst in the past years. Unfortunately it is almost impossible this days to find anything that is not made in China. We bought all new appliances two years ago when we moved in the new house. All supposed to be close to the top of the line, (not the most expensive, but not the cheapest ones either) and we were expecting to get many years out of them (all GE Profile). The microwave exploded this morning
, the refrigerator was serviced twice (compressor broke down and had to be replaced)
, the dishwasher door sometimes closes sometimes doesn't,
the so call "energy efficient" and water saver wash machine it's a nightmare. It only sprinkles the clothes with water and it takes 78 minutes for one cleaning cycle, and of course because it doesn't clean anything I always have to run it twice (yeap, that's very energy efficient).
Ohh, how much I miss my 20 year old whirlpool wash machine that I left with the old house, with its rugged look and three buttons, but excellent and reliable quality, from the time when electronics were still made in US.
To top it up, my color printer that I got for my birthday last year goes crazy all the time on me because it can't read the wireless connection, it "eats" the expensive color ink, it gives me some horrible photos, and I'm just about to throw it out the window. I supposed I need to hook back my 12 year old color printer with my 98' Windows that still works like a charm and never let me down. I told my husband that if we need to get some decent appliances this days we need to start shopping at the flea market for anything that was built more than 10 years ago (seriously). My husband laughed about it but I didn't. Few months ago I bought from the flea market this commercial grade Dayton vacuum made by Granger in the 80's (they don't make those anymore, and now most Granger vacuums are made in Mexico), I paid $15 for it and I replaced my 2 year old Dyson (all whistles and bells, but doesn't suck anything). I absolutely love this old vacuum. It is heavy and harder to maneuver, but sucks the life out of my carpet. I only have to run it on the carpet once an I know it's clean.
