I don't go for brands, but I'm not cheap. I do consider manufacturer's name, if it has a record of quality. That's not the same as buying the brand.
Buy best, cry once.Comment

I've got plenty of designer clothes, and you only need a reasonably good memory and a knowledge of maths to calculate birthdays. Of course, your generation have lost the art due to New Lie eddication.

I purchase after reading reviews and user forums.
Brand is meaningless to me, it's the technical specs I want.
If that means I end up buying a brand, then it doesn't bother me.
Eg, the new telly took about 2 months of research, reading reviews, getting lots of magazines, etc.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

That's dedication (cue Roy Castle)...
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
