[quote author="zebra50"]I'd like to see a mandatory 5 or even 10 year guarantee on everything. It would overhaul our disposable society.
Make sure you clean the filters on the Dyson. They have a reputation...
I like Henrys. We have them at home, studio and workshop. You see them in chemistry labs and building sites, you can suck up broken bricks and they don't break.
OK![/quote]
My Swiss burr grinder is very high quality and had a 5 year guarantee, but stuff happens. It broke after 2-3 years and it was easier for me to get it repaired locally than send it to the Alps.
The more useful model is to design products that can be easily recycled.
Most consumer products don't have a desirable life of ten years even if they didn't break.
