Yes - I bought a new washing machine last year - Kleenmaid - made in
US - because we were sick of Asian built machines with plastic
gearboxes dying after 3-5 years. The cost was around 2.5 times as much
and the design is very basic (no electronic 'programs') but the 'mean
time between failures' is over 20 years.
Most people don't seem to care though - the local agent went bust.
