Ah yes, cos B&H's have voluntarily put those warnings there themselves.

You needed a warning on a packet of cigarettes for you to know that they weren't great for your health?, Ok......

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?

It's like Dyson's steadier, more reliable older brother.

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

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.

David Beckham. Feel like I could leave my house keys with him before going on holidays

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?

GHD. For people with curly hair like me, no other hair straightener does the job right. And I've tried a lot.

But they didn't let the world know about them.

And they didn't make them sexy.

Like iPhones.

Pffft. Overpriced marketing ripoffs (at least if you mean the Mach 3 etc.)

I trust Wade & Butcher, of Sheffield.

Wade and Butcher was a tradename of the W & S Butcher Co. Brothers William & Samuel Butcher started the company producing straight razors in Sheffield in the 1820s. W & S Butcher ceased production in Sheffield in 1959 but their razors when found and restore are some of the most superlative piece of steel to shave with in the world.

It's not many companies that produce a product still functioning better than all the technological 'advancements' after 194 years

I worked for a company that had a contract with Nokia. They had a model that never made it to market that did everything the iPhone could do years before the iPhone.

It crashed. Constantly. Buggy as Bugs Bunny in Florida in Mosquito season.

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.

Most of the time you don't even know if it really is version 1.0 you're getting. At any time they can switch to using a different PCB, different components, different factory and the two products will have an identical casing.

You need to watch less adds and more garages. Dross, but well advertised dross.

What brand do you trust the most?
