If I could write like this I would be well happy. The more I read articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there might be a future for the Net. Keep it up, as it were.

But I also find that the old adage "you get what you pay for" is still very true. I've had a number of appliances and products (TV, washer/dryer, refrigerator, car, etc.) for more than 10 years. Some things that I've had horrible experiences with include mobile phones and cordless phones. I was so made with the cordless phone manufacturer after I replaced the phone 3 times in 5 years that I finally said "no more cordless phones in this house" and now the only phones we have are land line phones that are old enough to vote. I firmly believe that if American consumers "stop buying crap" (like cordless phones) than the quality will improve. But as long as consumers are seduced by price (meaning cheap) over value (meaning longevity, works properly, etc.) than crappy products will continue to proliferate. Best, -Alegre Hi Lesley,

I would say that “it depends” when it comes to the quality and longevity of products. But I also find that the old adage “you get what you pay for” is still very true. I’ve had a number of appliances and products (TV, washer/dryer, refrigerator, car, etc.) for more than 10 years. Some things that I’ve had horrible experiences with include mobile phones and cordless phones. I was so made with the cordless phone manufacturer after I replaced the phone 3 times in 5 years that I finally said “no more cordless phones in this house” and now the only phones we have are land line phones that are old enough to vote. I firmly believe that if American consumers “stop buying crap” (like cordless phones) than the quality will improve. But as long as consumers are seduced by price (meaning cheap) over value (meaning longevity, works properly, etc.) than crappy products will continue to proliferate.

Best,

I completely agree with you on the point. I was just wondering if you genuinely believed that companies were producing the best quality products that they could. I suppose I'm a skeptic, for I believe companies are just making adequate products so that in a year or two, we'll buy another one. How wonderful it would be to hold on to, and use, one product for 10+ years! There are few items in my household that I can think of that I have had for that long.
