Lifespan of electrical goods.

The quality controll coasts more then the replacement of a products!

Proberbly we all here quality enthusiasts, we know from the old days 80' 90

What was good and what not!

I am a collector of old vintage grundig radios , have around 100 at home!

But here in Thailand . A product must be cheap

Bought a DVD player in a shop

Thai brand , only watch 2 DVDs and then the expect button stop work!

I smash out the window !

And now the best question

How you explain someone quality

That don't know what it is!

In Thailand a product is good enough

When you use only one time

The best example is the toilet paper

Extra thinn, that you need a half roll

Also in Malaysia and other Asian country's was more stronger!

This is called grade c

Great a on many product not have!

Here!

The snickers chocolate more smaller

Then in eu less nuts!

The ricola herbal sweets from Switzerland at home 90 Procent

Herbal less sugar here same brand 99 Procent sugar!

How you can make a quality

Products for a low price, impossible!

About the lifspan, since around 5 year situation in eu also change

Shop owner tell you about a quality product , no matter what it is, the quality goes down espasaly on clothes European company's

Bought many products also in china

And put a sticker made in eu on it!

Or wood for building houses , a lot of imitates and copy's !

That means that I comes here to a end, after the editorial !

You good miserable made in china products every where not. Only in Thai

The globalization makes it possible

We have to watch out!

People with experience and knowledge and 24/7 online surfers

Cannot be cheated!

The rest will be a playball , of a cheap mass industries !

Hand made like in the good old days

Dream On!

Normal warranty times for electrical goods in Australia go anything from 3 months to a year. Sometimes 2 years with the name brands.

An American Zippo lighter. Lifetime guarantee. I've tested that and it works.

How do you know that? Are you dead?

Not quite. I mean I have tested the validity of the company's willingness to repair the lighter after 13 years after it was bought. . . My ex-wife is still using it, the lighter, after 17 years.

I didn't know Zippo lighters were electrical goods.

You learn something every day!

Yes they contain an element of a spark!!! which is electric in nature. You learn something every day. Even an American can learn this!

In America many goods have a lifetime warranty ?

And in Ireland 6 years!

Is this realy true?

you can leave it on the lowest setting and its usually enough but crank it up full blast and see stuff blowing around the room

I have been here 10 years and learned after the second year to never, ever, buy "made in Thailand" if there is any other alternative. Even the local craftsmen do not use Thai parts when making repairs, ( air con, compressor from Japan ).

after 4yrs.i have a grave yard full of electrical goods most only lasted 18months,coffee machine,lawn mower,rice cooker,deep fat fryer,a number of kettles,cooker hood this has been well documented in this forum before.

oh nearly forgot 2 air con.units both covers all cracked,were told the covers were made that yr.were faulty the co.promised to replace them as long as we paid the expences to come to korat.well that was a load of B.S. this again has been documented in the housing forum.[faulty air con units].

Boring stopped there.

Just bought a Samsung Microwave, 10 year warranty.

Same for the Samsung Inverter fridge, 10 year warranty.

This Microwave I posted about, just failed, 10 days not 10 years.

Took it back to Makro thinking I'm gonna have a problem, and they just handed me a new one.

Well done Makro!
