I like the idea but the problem I can see with this, is that good reviews on 20+ years old goods from brand X tells very little about the durability of same good from same brand bought new today. Actually, every brand with a good reputation is merely a brand that's been late to convert its product line into the new fashion of programmed (or engineered) obsolescence.
- beatgammit 7y agoThen again, some brands have built up a reputation over decades of being durable, so even inferior, current gen products are often more reliable than most of the competition, but they command a premium for the reputation. I certainly wouldn't consider it a guarantee, but having a proven track record still holds weight.
