Sandman77 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggusoil Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatboy Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) 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].

AnotherOneAmerican Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
