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.

I just bought a Speed Queen washer and dryer for wifey. The only difference between it and the laundromat models is the coin slot. Made in USA and will last us 25 years or more. Strongly recommended.
