One of the tasks that I participate in at work is MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) for all components of a computer that goes in an aircraft.

For that industry, the customers are willing to pay the full price for quality.

In general, I don't think that most consumers are willing to pay for quality anymore. If I look at companies like Kitchen-Aid, Vitamix, or Dyson, they provide a better quality product, but in order to stay profitable, their prices are higher than the average household is willing to spend.

For all three of those companies, my experience if there has been an issue (under warrantee) has been as simple as "Sir, we will ship you a replacement unit and a box for you to return the defective unit."

But unless I can find it on a major sale, I'm not willing to spend 60% of their list price.😣

For example, Vitamix's equivalent of a mini-blender would be this:

Is it worth $260CDN if it lasts 3 years with a no questions asked warrantee? Or, is it better to spend $80CDN for a NutriBullet and go through the hassles of having it replaced within 3 months? In general, I'd go with the latter and take my chances. But If I can find the former on sale - I'll jump all over it.
