    You mean, when it’s in perfectly good condition and there is no reason it shouldn’t be able to work, but you didn’t pay your [insert brand here] subscription, so it gets shut down remotely

      Ugh all appliances are such crap now. I want an old vacuum that lasts a lifetime from the 80s. They were much better.

      Dysons are the first vacuum cleaner that I don’t actively loath. They’re not perfect, but they’re built to… actually work well.

          That isn’t my experience. Bought two, one six years ago, one three years ago, both still work perfectly. Sold one of them recently for half what I paid for it.

          First I’ve heard of Miele. I’ll look into it, but the reason why I got Dysons in the first place was constantly hearing others rave about them.

            On my second Dyson, not sure why I bought a second one. Thing is always getting jammed up with hair and needs complete disassembly to clean it out, and batteries will only last two years before needing replacement. All the joints are very loose as well now. Will be going with the Miele HX2 at some point soon which is actually cheaper than some of the Dyson.

              From experience, the filtering cyclones in the mieles are quite a bit worse than the Dyson.

              If you want a good and lasting vacuum, don’t buy a cordless one. When looking at corded vacuums, miele is definitely one of the better options.

          They buy a computer monitor “made in Britain” which immediately catches on fire. They grab the fire extinguisher but it doesn’t spray anything. He looks and it also has a “made in Britain” sticker. Once he looks at… The fire extinguisher catches on fire.

      Except in this case this particular fridge has worked for 40 years already, so just by Bayesian statistics it is more likely to keep working than a modern one from a range that are known to break. Same reason why some old cars are getting more expensive nowadays.
