    As I look at my Samsung flatscreen here and think of the many years its given me a hassle free life it reminded me of the many Samsung products that have served me well over the years. Its a model and make that never lets me down

    If you had to buy something without being allowed to try it first or without the safety net of a 12 month guarantee, what logo would it have to have attached on it?

    What brand do you trust the most?

    You can't trust any tech brands really. Their manufacturing process is so convoluted and the parts are got from so many different places you never know what you'll end up with if you get version 1.0 of anything.

    Bosch. For power tools, kitchen appliances and wiper blades. They are probably the only brand I've any major preference towards for reliability/functionality reasons. Every power tool (and wiper blade...) I've bought that hasn't been Bosch has given me serious heartache or just hasn't been worth the price. They didn't make a free-standing dual fuel cooker or otherwise every kitchen appliance I've bought would have been Bosch too.

    Fine Gael, the brand that does what it says on the tin printed in the EU.
    Labour, the working man's friend.

    Stihl chainsaws. Never any problems other than usual wear and tear.

    Ok, cheating here, not just a brand but a specific product. The Samsung B2100 mobile phone, the amount of times I've dropped it or thrown it at colleagues (acting the maggot) and not a scratch on it.

    No playstation or xbox. Driving a 2004 van that i bought damaged (had a budget of £2400 at the time and that van was the freshest one for the money).

    Why would you "trust" a brand over another one.

    Deodorant, shower gel/shampoo - you can call it all the "ice, storm, dynamic, arctic or extreme" all you like. Whatever is on special in tesco or dunnes is what is thrown into the trolley.

    TV to be bought - look up argos and see which one is reduced the most and is on budget - samsung, sony, lg, or sharp - i don't care, they all do the same job.

    If you have a favourite ketchup then surely it's because of the taste and not the brand?

    Given the market share they once had consolidated in the mobile market their "not being first to release a smart phone" must go down as one of the biggest company fcuk ups of all time


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,930 ✭✭✭Jimoslimos


    Sennheiser: Usually decent balance between sound quality and price, unlike say Beats.

    Bar the slight issue that they had smartphones out many years before everyone else copped on to it. They just got beaten on style and marketing by the (utterly useless) iPhone 1

    Nokia had 3G, fully app capable smartphones before Android or iOS existed and people forget how useless iOS was at the start - no apps, no 3G, no ringtones, Bluetooth limited to headsets, etc.

    My first smartphone was a Nokia, ten years ago.

    Hitachi. For tools, electronics, machinery, never let me down.

    What you're saying there is all fine and well if you are strapped for cash, but say you had the money to spend. Would you really buy a Hanspree TV with no programmable remote codes and speakers like the ones you'd find on a laptop, when you could add E50 to that and get yourself something decent that will give you a hassle free life for years to come?
