Remember loyalty buying of a certain Manufacturer?

[hearlady]

This thread makes me think of my Dad.

Bought his first Buick in 1967 and stayed loyal until he passed.
About 7 cars.

My Dad always had a Corvair.

We started out our married life with furniture and appliances from Sears & Roebuck.

Well, we all know what happened to Sears. It was run down by it's CEO. The Kenmore and Craftsman name sold.
End of an era.

My house has a very active sump pump and I typically get around a year out of a pump. I always used Sears Craftman brand pumps because they had a lifetime warranty, it was great, I'd take the old one in and they'd had me a new one. I bet I went thru 15 pumps before they dropped the lifetime warranty on their products, I was sad.lol

Back in the day it was, Fender or G&L guitars, Music Man amps.

Not brands per se, but I'll always pay more for products that are "all or substantially all" (legal term) manufactured in the USA. I once lost a job when the company was bought by a Taiwanese company and moved to China. It was a real wake-up call.

As others have said, Kenmore was always my go to. I knew they were manufactured by Whirlpool but still stayed with Kenmore. They lasted forever.

HP computers. I have been buying them since they were branded as 'Hewlett-Packard'. Using three HP laptops now. Anything else I don't mind switching up.

I ran HP until they merged with Compaq. I got to say though that last computer sure did fly, especially when I tossed it out the damn door!

35 years ago, I moved from an apartment to a 1 1/3 acre place. At that time, the most trusted name in lawn tractors, etc., was Craftsman- Sears. Every powered thing in my shed is Sears. The tractor still runs. I religiously check the oil once a decade.- you just can't kill it.

It occurred to me when considering this thread I am more likely to avoid certain brands than be loyal. Once my confidence or opinion of a brand is tarnished I will boycott for life.
