Bought a teasmade (SWMBO won't get out of bed in the morning without a cuppa). After fifteen months it started leaking and tripping the electrics. It came with a two year warranty and I got a refund. I found this was quite normal. Bought another. After a year it would switch off early - no tea. Returned to (alleged) manufacturer at their cost. It was promptly returned, but failed again with the same fault. Repaired and it failed again. Replaced with a new one, which so far, still working.
So, for the price of one machine, I'm now on number three, plus all the postage costs the supplier has covered. They can't be making much profit.
The label says: Made in China. I now examine everything I buy and reject anything from China.
