Are there still consumer white goods brands that aren't lowest-bidder Chinese crap? I've learned not to trust brand names anymore and just assume everything is crap and buy cheap stuff that I wouldn't mind replacing at the smallest problem.

Miele

Yeah, but their pricing is just insane. Far out of the reach of the middle class, at least in Europe.

I would say Siemens and Bosch are solid while still being affordable.

Their pricing is fairly reasonable when their hugely extended lifetime is considered. The Vimes Boot theory in action.

Bosch pulls the same kind of user-hostile shenanigans as described herein. Any appliance connected to the internet should be tossed in the trash.

Got a source for that claim about Bosch please?
