I always wondered why I run into people who have some machine or
electronics that seem to last forever. What was worst that I never had
a story like that nor could I find a particular brand to buy and have a
story one day. I now figured it out to be a "catch 22" situation.
The things that last so long were bought during a period where they
were build to last (mostly US made) and now they are using wrong parts
because it is cheaper to make (China stuff). For example I bought a
Colman home electric pressure washer made in usa which last a while.
The most expensive part was the continuos duty brush-less motor. I
picked up one made in China that lasted two weeks and another for two
months (They both started smoking and quickly lost power and died).
It was half the price and I found out why. They had substituted the
lot cheaper high speed intermittent use motors ( brushes, or the same
moter in vacuum cleaners). There are so many things they switch out to
save money. Am I paranoid or this is really a peek at the future?
