Built to last?

[Itsallicanafford]

I have bought kettles for £10.00, £50.00, £100.00! They are all ste, destined for land fill after 18months.

Is anything in this world built to last anymore?

Nothing they make now is as good as what preceded it. More gimmicks maybe, but not as good, and certainly not made to last. Imo.

This the numb of it! You might well have hedge clippers/microwaves/alarm clocks etc which have lasted 25 years+ but when they finally break down, even if you replace them with a similar model from the same manufacturer, in most cases they are now such low quality that they soon break.

I am looking at an example right now...HP Designjets, (Large format printer). We have an A0 model which we have had for about 12 years but when it had a minor malfunction last year and parts were getting hard to come by, we bought another modern example from the same manufacture as a back-up. What a cheap and nasty load of rubbish, all the quality and robustness has been beaten out of it to squeeze a few more quid of profit.
