Are good washing machines gone?

Posted by Linda Greens | General | Friday 14 December 2007 11:14 pm

As competition in the market increased over the recent years, many washing machine manufacturers found themselves obliged to lower the quality of their products in order to lower their prices instead of maintaining a high quality and obviously having to sell a more expensive washing machine. They now prefer to design their washing machines by using cheaper production methods and cheaper suppliers of washing machine spare parts. And so, instead of their washing machines becoming better, they just get worse than they were.

The increase in production costs over the past years has seen the best quality new washing machines reach prices that most people will not be prepared to pay because these prices seem far too high compared to a common washing machine that they would find in a supermarket. On the other hand, consumers should know that manufacturers, by dumping the quality of their products have not made the budget end of new washing machines cheaper to buy than ever before, but comparatively more expensive than ever to repair as they will certainly break down even more quickly. But the good news is that you could save money when your washing machine breaks down.
