Obsolescence.

GE & Westinghouse created the technique after having a price-war over lightbulbs. They agreed to make light bulbs only last for a fraction of their capability so that they wouldn't have to keep undercutting each others prices.

My Thermador Range/Oven and dishwasher are made in the USA also...I bought them 8 years ago and they are maintenance free so far.

Thermador and Bosch are both made by the same company. All their applianes last 4 ever and are pretty much maintenance free. I was so tired of repair men basically living at my house, we spent more this time, but I do not regret it! Great company good products!

When we were little, things were built mostly in the USA and built to last. Today is the disposable generation.
