Brands which should you stay clear of?

Question

which brand in electrical items are the worst for blowing up eg :washing machines -fisher & paykel -

Answer 1

All electrical appliances made today have to pass electrical tests rated by a laboratory known as UL (Underwriter's Labroratories) in the U.S.A.  

However finding a product that is durable and reliable is a different story and companies seem to try to rip people off whenever they get the chance. That's why a magazine named Consumer Reports was started in 1936 (U.S.A.)It is a good source to find products that are reliable, priced fairly and that are durable. You have to weigh what is most important to you
