The best branded products ...

[Spacecadet]

I buy the best stuff because I'm tight and dodn't want to waste money buying say 3 vacuums over 15 years than a single Miele for example.
You could say the feckless buy non-branded tulipe products and end up paying more.

No, just try to be brand blind when you're buying otherwise yuo could end up paying for the brand not the quality.

VAIO aren't that good. Lenovo Thinkpads are much better.

I am with cars.
But e.g. Miele products are so much better than the competition that it's silly to buy anything else.

As I stated above, Vaios destined for the Japanese market are as good as anything else, the Z series (even the latest one) is far, far better than anything out there if you want lightweight and powerful. The others are usually tulip tho built to price rather than spec.

My current contract is a ******* treadmill! I'll sell you that.

... I'll start:

Washing machine/dryer: Miele
Hoover: Miele (ironic, I know)
Car: not going there
Laptop: any Mac or Sony Vaio
Smartphone: Samsung Galaxy II ( have an HTC, not so good)
Telly: Sony

Only slightly surprised you didn't enter any British brands!

I suppose unlike most of Europe, Britain has a track record of succesfully making radical changes AND has an economy that can eventually deliver growth.
