Give us some examples. OK, I'll start... Vacuums: Miele. I don't think Miele vacuums are quite as reliable as they used to be, but they are still (with some success) being marketed that way. What other brands for appliances ("white goods")..?
- beloch 6y agoVitamix blenders seem to be the real deal. I have one that's seen nearly daily use for about 15 years and is still going strong. I have tripped it's overheat sensor on some things (e.g. hummus), but it just shuts down and forces you to wait for it to cool instead of burning out.
- AmericanChopper 6y agoVitamix, kitchenaid (their stand mixers at least), magimix come to mind for appliances at least. If you take them apart you can see how high-quality all the components are. The only thing I’m skeptical about are the new wifi blenders, I’m sure they’ll prove to be less reliable than the one button + one dial models.
- colinb 6y agoOur Dualit two slice toaster is ~15 years old. It has a touch of Trigger's Broom because I've replaced the central heating elements once, and will do the same with the side elements soon. I know Dualit sell replacements for the timer mechanism though ours has been fine so far. I would like a toaster that could handle thicker slices. But I quite like having a toaster that has survived three house moves, two children, a lot of floating cat hair, and generally rough treatment, and doesn't have a visible scratch. I think they must make them from old battleship armor.
