This often actually exists still, but those companies dont do big marketing and their products will cost 3x that of a “normal” one.
As I’ve heard it:
- Bosch makes the best dishwashers
- Speed Queen makes the best laundry machines
- Asko
and Mielemake the best stoves and fridges
And yes, they are all very expensive. But I want to get me a Speed Queen so bad.
Miele was sold to a private equity firm and they’ve been reputation-fracking, so their recent stuff is supposed to be pretty mediocre but priced as if it’s top-end.Damn. I hate to hear that. Guess I’ll scratch them off my list.
Cafe (spinoff from GE) does a pretty good job with stoves. AFAIK they are still pretty well respected.
The brands to stay away from at all costs are LG and Samsung.
LG is actually pretty highly regarded for their clothes washers and dryers.
Their refrigerators have been a mess. That makes it hard for me to trust their other appliances.
Great idea for a quick cash grab but then you will lose growth. You will run into insta pot problems where the product was too good and lacked room for innovation. But someone should do it anyways.
Is instant pot losing money on their product? I just got one last month and it’s been amazing for making meat tender and making bone broth.
That’s their problem: their product is very good and very reliable, which means once everyone who wants one has one, there’s no more demand.
People are born everyday. People break things.
There’s no such thing as no more demand.
it just shrinks to a fairly stable demand. Until something new happened then demand will track up. Or you can (honestly) update to a new model if you figure out some new improvement then also increase in demand.
Just plan for it.
I hate the mentality that infinite and perpetual growth is some how a sustainable or even rational goal
People are born everyday
yeah reminds me of this meme:
Good news! I definitely thought of that before my comment. That is one of my all time favourites.
I even referenced that comic Friday night when my friends were drunk and in an argument with each other because they were both being insecure and idiots to each other. I’m their relationship counselor apparently. I don’t know how I got the job and I’m not qualified…
