I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don’t like but has an alternative?

    Was explaining that to a customer how things that used to be bad ass but now are shit but expensive as hell because they are using the name and the reputation from 50 years ago to sell the shit.

    Like Maytag, and Whirlpool used to be the best brands to buy. Now they are crap won’t last ten years.

      Ten years? You’d be lucky to make it 12 months out of warranty. Our Whirlpool dishwasher was the biggest pos I’ve ever used. Switched to Bosch and can’t be happier. Hard to tell it’s even on.

      I feel like I got in on the last of well built Whirlpool before it went downhill. The washer and dryer and dishwasher that came with my house twenty years ago are still going. Yeah, I have to fix something minor in the dishwasher every six months or so, the washing machine has an occasional leak if it’s not sitting just right, and the dryer rattles something awful, but they still get the job done just as well as they did when we moved in.
