201 | Lasted only one year, genuine Electrolux lasted three to four years I bought this heating element a little over a year ago, in November of 2019. It's January 2020 and the dryer is throwing E64 code again. If you reset the dryer it still works, just doesn't dry the clothes as well as it should. I suspect that one or mor... | B07DNBZHRT | B07MKB2772 |
202 | Consummate waste of money!!! First, these have huge capacities. Second, the washer is horrible! The four-inch top on the agitator falls off regularly which causes the machine to sound like a box of rocks is being shaken wildly. Most importantly, it has ruined several expensive garments, linens and silks, that were c... | B00W4KJO4M | B00W4KJO4M |
203 | Fix for planned obsolescence As many other reviews indicated, your Frigidaire is not the top of the line product. Ours came from the builder, so can't complain. Expect that your door bins will break . This replacement is an inexpensive replacement that should last until upgrading to a better refrigerator when it too... | B00545AQSW | B00545AQSW |
204 | 2 Year Usage and Durability Review (Excellent!) This was installed on our LG WM2455WH in August of 2016. Our machine is used by our household an average of 3 times per day.<br /><br />We've had this LG front loading washer for 10 years now and I replaced the original bearings after 7 years. The replacement bearing, a K... | B00GSDY8ZQ | B00GSDY8ZQ |
205 | OEM and this aftermarket design are lacking reliability 101 ceiteria The impeller for this pump is driven by a very skinny brass finger that extends from the main pump shaft and sloppily fits into an exceptionally cheap plastic impeller design. As such, the small finger quickly fails metallurgically with just normal w... | B095JZSH3X | B095JZSH3X |
206 | LG planned obsolescence: DLG3788W dryer motor [clutch]... LG planned obsolescence: as with many models of LG dryers using the 4681EL1002A/4681EL1008A motors (like the DLG3788W), and actually many other manufacturers using these types of motors: the blower motor clutch springs are mounted on extremely thin "spike" moun... | B00W4YE1MS | B00W4YE1MS |
207 | More planned obsolescence--very disappointing It's a cliche, but they really don't make 'em like they used to. I would expect to get more than three years out of a decent washer.<br /><br />I guess this isn't a decent washer.<br /><br />It worked quite well at first. I was happy to find something to fit in my tiny home... | B078MGY2CS | B078MGY2CS |
208 | Wheel fell off after a few days Was able to superglue wheel back on. No trouble since. These dishwashers have planned obsolescence in my opinion. | B071JR6TXQ | B071JR6TXQ |
209 | 2 stars because its pretty, but dont stare at it too hard...she'll break. Wow. What a piece of junk. First off, when you pay $1800 for a range, it should work like an expensive Swiss watch. When you put "Made in the USA" stickers on it, you're shaming our country's craftsmanship.....or maybe that was a warni... | B004MEZ6WM | B004MEZ6WM |
210 | Beware of the small print! The tool does the job of separating the recyclable cup; it can be tricky to use if it doesn't cut through all the way on the first turn. The disappointing aspect of it is that it is only good, with average use, for six weeks; then another needs to be ordered. Talk about planned obsolescenc... | B017XLW7I6 | B09TWWTX37 |
211 | Buyer Beware! Product Safety Issue, Defective Parts I purchased this refrigerator brand new from Best Buy on December 28, 2014. On April 20, 2018, upon opening the right-side refrigerator door, the top door hinge suddenly failed and the door collapsed. I managed to catch it with both hands, prop it up, and close it, ... | B00QGREE3U | B00QGREE3U |
212 | Planned obsolescence This is the second heating element we have had to install in our dryer. It is only 5 years old. The original heating element and the first replacement burnt out in the exact same place on the coil. Seems like planned obsolescence to me. We’ll see how long this second replacement lasts. | B07QJWX98P | B07QJWX98P |
213 | Kitchen Aid/Whirlpool Part #99003605 Inlet and outlet bezel cap I purchased a rather pricey, two-drawer Kitchen Aid dishwasher in May 2011, and it is March 2013 as it write this, so only 22 months have elapsed. I have had to replace this simple part 3 times now, within that period. The bezel cover attaches to the insid... | B002ABVLN2 | B002ABVLN2 |
214 | Does somebody make these out of METAL?? This part is great except for one thing, it's not made out of METAL. This is the third blower wheel I have put in this dryer. When you expose plastic to high temperatures, it gets brittle. If the wheel is slightly unbalanced, stress cracks will develop right where the blower f... | B07P45ZLQH | B07P45ZLQH |
215 | This Washer Worked Great Until it Didn't! I loved this washer for just under two years, when suddenly, with no warning it flooded my entire kitchen floor. The sensor for the water level stopped working and it just kept filling with water until it overflowed. Luckily, I caught it in time before it would have caused som... | B083G9WVNC | B08M1JZP9P |
216 | American products and built-in obselescence As it turned out I ended up calling a professional. they said it was the controller board so they ordered and installed it to the tune of $250. the next appliance that went out is my Kenmore Electric Oven. I really think that there is a built-in obsolescence with digital comp... | B00AYBL3GU | B00AYBL3GU |
217 | Failed after 13 months Makes rattling, grinding noise. Apparently not make to last... engineered obsolescence. | B09M92VHN5 | B09M92VHN5 |
218 | Good replacement for a poor design Exact part replacement.<br />Unfortunately this is a design for obsolescence by Whirlpool/Kenmore. Many people will just replace a 5 year-old machine rather than replace the $15 part. This repair would have been so much easier if the dryer had been made with removable back panel.<br /... | B079RMVP1Z | B079RMVP1Z |
219 | Better than the original OEM icemaker!!! In a world where appliance makers design their products for planned obsolescence and import them from other countries, we now have excellent replacement parts options that are manufactured right here in the USA! Bravo | B07D4MDKY6 | B07D4MDKY6 |
220 | Trash! Lasted 10 months. Dreaded click-of-death followed by stripped out gears. Manufactured obsolescence. Second ice maker in a year. | B011P1OODQ | B011P1OODQ |
221 | Planned obsolescence Not sure if you can tell by the photo... But the metal broke off the drive shaft... Not an expert, but I've never seen another drive shaft that works in this manner... Seems to me that it's intentionally made to break... | B07YFDB6Y6 | B07YFDB6Y6 |
222 | Rack repair will cost you a fortune This dishwasher cleaned nicely in the beginning (if you use the recommended detergent). We have had it for two years. The adjustable racks break about every 3-4 months and the small plastic parts are over $20 each. I purchased it for the stainless interior, but wish I had gone wit... | B004138F40 | B004138F40 |
223 | Worthless, but what's the alternative? I've gone through four or five of these in the last few months. They're garbage. Most of them have imprecise cuts around the plastic clips causing the rack to not be seatable in the rail of the dishwasher. The ones that are cut correctly are cheap plastic pieces that end up cracki... | B0895G7PWC | B0895G7PWC |
224 | Poor quality, and planned obsolescence Purchased as a direct part number replacement to a Frigidaire Board that failed in 2019 that was only 6 years old. This one is starting to fail again in the same way and it has not even been installed a year. The fact that a major appliance like a wall oven will not last more than... | B00MHIC32Q | B00MHIC32Q |
225 | NOT OEM, SLIGHTLY WRONG DIMENSIONS, NO LABELS This is plain white plastic, no labels like "Optibin" as in the picture. The width of the recess that holds the glass is short by a few mm, so one end of the glass is sitting up on the edge; the glass will NOT fit flush. Part of the problem with the original is that it... | B00AF54TR0 | B00AF54TR0 |
226 | Do not run with these. I was not aware that such scissors even existed anymore.<br /><br />I had truly consigned such things to be the stuff of legends like that of Excalibur.<br /><br />In fact, I’m actually surprised that it wasn’t shipped in a large boulder and planted in my front yard rather than left at my front d... | B000UU6SR4 | B003XWO1W0 |
227 | Probably great for kids, disappointing for me [[VIDEOID:498be5913e9e5661a51f2f9e36e132b5]] I seem to be in the minority in not loving this glue gun. But it just doesn't perform to the standards I expect from even a mini glue gun. If half stars were an option I'd give this 2.5 but for the price (currently $19.99) I'll r... | B09XD87Z85 | B09XD87Z85 |

229 | Great fix for ol’ Tillie! I wanted a two-pack in case I messed up and cut the first one too short. (So now I have a spare!). This belt works perfectly on this ancient, 1879 “Early Improved Family” Singer treadle sewing machine of mine. Very happy about that, now to try and learn so sew on me-power! Amazing, 140 year... | B01LYQ71RB | B01LYQ71RB |
230 | Excellent value for money There are not many things one buys nowadays that are good value for money. Usually they have built in obsolescence - to the end of their warranty usually about a year. This little gadget looks as though it will last forever!<br /><br />I have always wanted a loupe but never got around to buyi... | B0013E3DAG | B0013E3DAG |
231 | Need these plates This seems to be fine, especially considering Cricut no longer produces these for the Cuttlebug. Victims of obsolescence once again! Please keep producing these! I am expecting my “b” plates soon. Will order more!<br />Update: worked great!! | B01LWYBLWS | B09K79Y589 |
232 | perfect for repairing a spark screen fire pit spark screens seem to be engineered by the planned obsolescence guys from GM and this gauge is heavy enough to retie the screen to the frames - the snip is a bonus as I can use it for my guitar strings as well | B07Q9K6ZDL | B08NYDS39L |
233 | GETTING SICK OF SIZZIX You'd think this POS would last more than 1 year. When I used this to emboss a thinlit die with the proper sandwich halfway thru it started breaking, by the time I rolled it all the way thru it had broken into 3 pieces. You'd think at the prices they charge for essential accessories, that they w... | B001GP5OQ8 | B001GP5OQ8 |
234 | Six month life span I purchased this July 2016, and under a very modest amount of use, it stopped cold tonight. The light comes on, the mechanisms are not frozen but the motor is completely dead.<br /><br />Real shame, because I liked the machine; particularly I liked the mechanical stitch selectors that meant my set... | B00MNS60AQ | B00MNS60AQ |
235 | Glad I found these! Finally, strong and sturdy scissors. And they cut well, for my purposes, anyway! I had despaired of ever finding well made scissors ever again. I'm seriously debating buying a few, as these may well disappear from the market forever, as the goal these days of manufacturers is to make goods NOT TO LA... | B0029PI164 | B0029PI164 |
236 | Not as sturdy as I'd like I've never met a sturdy yarn ball winder; this is my 3rd in 10 years, but it seems to do the job fine. As long as I expect the planned obsolescence of yarn ball winders, I'm prepared. | B001L8DL4C | B001L8DL4C |
237 | Product could be exellent if manufacturer spent another $1 and installed a quality on/off switch! This option has been invaluable in my use of the Optivisor!

238 | WARNING: WARNING: If you buy this, Cricut may cut off your ability to cut custom patterns when newer models come out . Google it, company is notorious for planned obsolescence. | B072VYPWM4 | B086V3DFWQ |
239 | Designed for obsolescence This co is HORRIBLE for customer service and their products are designed to become obsolete. Anyone who has used these products from the beginning knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Their software sucks, is changed, then dropped and you are left hAnging. | B0942SYJHY | B0C7NBF8PS |
240 | Built In Obsolescence I noticed that I’ve just ordered my fifth replacement for this part in less than seven years. Doesn’t speak well for the manufacturing quality and seems like it is made to be semi-disposable. | B001UYSI8G | B001UYSI8G |

244 | Works well but modest shelf life and inflexible manufacturer Stuff works great but had a limited shelf life of about 6 months for part A. The problem is I am casting small parts and seldom use it all before it goes bad. Performance of the product is good and does what they describe.<br /><br />My question is why doesn'... | B004BNF3TK | B09MZRNQ62 |
245 | Shears broke in half at first use These are horribly engineered: the metal only extends slightly into the plastic handles and that is exactly where they broke. If you were going to design a shears to break you would do it so that the metal ended a the point of most force upon the leverage and that is what they did. S... | B08YJMRY4V | B08YJMRY4V |
246 | "Planned obsolescence" on the mat. Absolutely terrible. See pics The machine is neat, it promises to do a lot of things, it's relatively easy to use (check out some youtube tutorials; cool stuff). However, the mats are abysmal, to the point I don't find this product functional. When you buy the machine, you get a piece... | B08HJH84NP | B07TV8NVFL |
247 | Have bought many times Glad I discovered this many years ago. I first used it to extend (or rather multiply) the life of Apple-made iphone chargers -- you all know what I mean!

248 | The gear fit the vertical shaft and meshed correctly with the main horizontal shaft gear. It was a learning experience. I was given a Singer Model 477 sewing machine and was told that if I could fix it, I could keep it. The main shaft would not rotate due to damaged teeth on the vertical shaft top gear.

249 | planned obsolescence Through my life I've noticed this pattern: company makes name for itself with good product; then after acquiring sufficient marketshare, the product's quality declines.<br /><br />My mothers Singer, which I learned how to sew on over 40 years ago, still works. It is sturdy, and came with a hard-s... | B003VWXZQ0 | B097FPLKP2 |
250 | Planned obsolescence by putting non-stainless steel at a crucial spot: the connector. The Titan kitchen shears worked nicely for a while, but became increasingly STIFF. These are shears that one cannot separate into 2 parts for cleaning as for many similar products. I assumed that the joint was just getting dirty. T... | B0046EBW1C | B07VFVRXMW |
251 | Great black ink, long lasting pad. My wife is the stamper in the family. In 1998 she bought this ink pad. She has tried other blacks but this is the one she swears by. Now, after all this time she needs to replace the ink pad. I'm impressed. In an era of planned obsolescence, this is remarkable. | B003OCT7DW | B003OCT7DW |
252 | Won’t work without app First off it works way better than what I had before, the Cricut mini iron. That said having to create an account and download an app to use what is essentially AN IRON is ridiculous and inequitable. If you get this and don’t have internet connection you can’t set it up to use it! Not just the fa... | B09TFZFJ59 | B0BN6BXM74 |
253 | Very comfortable +++: The soft metal nose bridge with rubber makes all the difference for fit and comfort!<br />++: motion adjustment stoppers don't wear out easily, like other designs<br />+: does not use weak coincell batteries. But could use 2 AA, instead o 3 AAA batteries. AA are easier to get/reuse.<br />-: have n... | B071VZ4X6P | B071VZ4X6P |

266 | A Great Combo of Form and Function Amazing. These tires really grip both on and off road.

267 | Great, while it worked but it died after not much use. No live support!

287 | Great "Hard to Find" Solution for Narrow Fit 6mm Inserts I have a 1993 Infiniti J30, which has very unorthodox wiper arms which can't be retrofit with all of the new blade assemblies.

291 | This is a perfect example of bad design by auto manufacturers for built ... This heater core fit in the truck. The installation was extremely difficult due to the requirement to remove the dash and the age of the plastic connections. That's not the core's problem.

292 | You can do it! These are difficult to do but can be done. Long needle nose pliers, 1/4” ratchet, light, & calm.<br /> Ford should be ashamed, the design is built in obsolescence. | B00ED46XHS | B00ED46XHS |
293 | Very water resistant when installed per instructions. Butyl is the way to go when replacing standard jute auto sound insulation. Detroit would probably use it if it did not take longer to install than pre-cut, jute backed rubber. Jute absorbs condensate like a sponge, which eventually rots the floorpan. It's labor effi... | B07BLSP8JV | B0C3WNT5QV |

297 | Not a good design. These original equipment valves are a joke. While they work initially the design is such that they will almost certainly fail prematurely. Designed obsolescence in my opinion. | B0012P1SA8 | B0012P1SA8 |
298 | 2000 Ford Explorer Once the armrest and hinge were removed from vehicle it only took ten minutes to remove and replace the broken plate and hinge.. Great fit and price.
