I agree, but in some areas it is hard to do these days, at least in some 
product lines.

In 1979 I bought a Sears washer and dryer.  They were still running fine 
past 1991 when they went to a new owner.  In 1993 I bought another Sears 
washer and dryer, and they are still running fine, and my wife seems to do a 
LOT of laundry.
