what's even more of a shame is the amount of purposely disposable products that are on the market today, that cannot be repaired or ore not economical to repair. Like for example a toaster. My parents had the same toaster for 50 years. I had gone through probably 20 cheap crap non-repairable ones in 20 years. When dad died, mom gave me that old toaster. Now, in 10 years, she's gone through 10 cheap crap toasters and I've yet to have to open the old one up other than to clean it. The landfills are full of junk like the new once a year toasters, cell phones, computers, etc. Or even major appliances. Notice you never see any really old ones at the dump? That's because they're all still running fine and refuse to die. I've also got a deep freeze and a fridge, International Harvester bought new by my parents circa 1950, that are still working perfectly without a single repair other than door gaskets. New ones it seems never seem to last much past the warranty period before needing repairs. And here's another observation of mine. Anything made of plastic or with a plastic housing, its life expectancy is exactly equal to its warranty period, because the cost to replace the plastic part if it's even available will exceed the cost of a new replacement.
