Never found any German stuff to be any good. Battery charger with 3mm thin plastic bits that broke, hair dryer with inadequately fixed switch that came loose, shaver a with shoddy foil thing that came off. Had an old van with a dodgy gear rod that kept detaching, the gearbox was German made. Worked at a power station once and the control system was by a German company. They were fannying around with it way over schedule. Maybe I've just been unlucky, but I tend to avoid German products like the plague.

So you're still driving that Morris Marina then
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”
The chief exec for Miele was on TV the other month I had not realised that they were German. Either way he was saying that they try and hold parts for their stuff for quite some time which means its quite possible to buy their stuff and still be able to repair it 10 years down the road or more.
I don't mind paying out if its going to be a reparable item.

This.
I hate throwaway items, buy well, pay what it costs and enjoy owning it. I don't own much, but it will always be top quality.
