Quoted from EvanDickson:It's reasonable to hold a manufacturer accountable for stuff that arrives DOA, or stuff that experiences sudden catastrophic failure when fairly new.
It's not reasonable to hold a manufacturer accountable because when you zoom in on a picture of a plastic bit, you can see a white patch at the edge of that piece of plastic.
Sure, production variances and all that. Still, it sucks to get one of the machines with a problem and affects resale value down the road.
