And I never said it was a Samsung, the video I posted is just for giggles, to see how a washer desintegrates.
You want forever? pay for it.

Sure, the problem being that "forever" is now 2x the money then it used to be, even with inflation...and even then, like Kärcher, "THE" high pressure cleaner manufacturer in germany, that was really worth it´s money... Now you get cheap plastic pump casings that are not durable and artifically limited by small spacers that you can´t take out. Same motor, same electronic, double the price without spacers. It´s not mixed calculations, it´s pure rip off.

I never saw it as a debate, just normal exchange of info

Most stuff nowadays is engineered to fail after a short amount of years, so there´s that. I have a friend who´s full automatic coffee barista thingy (2000€) died shortly after warranty was out. Much used though. He tried everything, reset, pluging it out for a day, reset again, nothing. I voiced the opinion that the uC lost it´s firmware... he put it in his car to bring it to the electronic trash collection site. Forgot about it, it was winter and in the deep freezing degrees. He tried one last time the other day in the garage and it started up. Completely reset, even the statistics (how many cups in it´s lifetime, runtime etc) were all set to zero. It never resets that statistic, I also fumbled around with it.
if(cupcount greater 10000) [ do[shutdown]]
or something similar. maybe the eeprom had a dataloss and it reset something that went active after it was used often enough or random generator, to disable the machine ;-)
It´s hard to proof, too. Not impossible but hard, if done right.

I have old kitchen ware in use that is from the 50-80s. Bread/Cheese/Meat cutter, Mixers, Coffee grinder. Robust stuff, that dough hand mixer will probably mix concrete. Nearly indestructible, that stuff was made to last. High quality gears and rods, metall. Repairable. A bit heavy and not cloud powered but they do the job. It´s probably full of poisonous agents though if you look at it with 2017 norms...
