What galls me is the lack of repair parts. Our kitchen faucet (Grohe) is just over 12 years old and a quarter size rubber cover has worn out. I called and they said the part is discontinued. Suggested I buy a new one for $196 (just the nozzle not the whole fauchet!). The plastic piece is worth a nickel and only covers a rocker to select stream or sprinkle. Wife will not do with my duct solution even though the duct tape is endorsed by Red Green of The Red Green Show.
Same with my water system. They want big bucks for a new system. Only failure is a fan (bearings) that is OEM only and I am not allowed to buy one because I am not a licensed plumber! Well I modified a bathroom fan and installed that. That was a month ago. So far, so good.
Now ask me about the Apple all-in-one computer graphics chip. Flakey solder balls! Yes, FLAKEY SOLDER BALLS!
