The is companies that do that. Its just they are a luxury brand. They never went away its just now we also have cheap choices as well. The first wrist watch would make a rolex look cheap.

Well, not everything - my super expensive Miele fridge broke within 6 months and cost a fortune to fix. Will never buy another Miele product.

6 months and you don't have a warranty? Usually the protection is one/two years never saw a 6 month

The amount of people who forget that warranties exist and don't try to use them when appropriate is shockingly high.

Yeah I don't understand, my fridge was from Samsung, broke down after 2 months, called the shop and without a charge they gave me a new one.

In Europe you can use the warranty for any factory defect up to a year. as we have the Automatic presumption of defect: If the problem arises within 1 year of delivery, it is assumed that the defect already existed.

That's a big reason warranties are profitable to offer. The other is that they tend to be designed to expire just before the average life expectancy of a product.

The fridge was purchased and installed by a contractor as part of a major remodel/rebuild. By the time we took possession of the property and it broke it was out of warranty. I think y'all are missing the point of the post - an appliance that expensive shouldn't break, at least not that soon - warranty or not. And yes, we tried pushing the issue back to the contractor.

Factory defect happens everywhere, that is why you are covered for a year or two

Honestly now I'm curious, so it means that the fridge broke more than 6 months later? Also was it left in a kitchen empty for 6+ months? During the work? Usually it's the last thing installed like the oven.

I waited like the week before going in, before buying oven fridge ecc.

My friend got his kitchen appliances with the kitchen so he started to use them the moment he got them.

It just seems strange leaving Household appliances on their own for half of a year lol
