Miele and Bosch are the only brands I'll rely on for "white goods". As far as I can tell, most other (european) brands are owned by Electrolux, and all built to fail the day after the warranty expires.

My toaster is a Dualit - pricey, but very reliable, and very repairable.

My coffee grinder is a manually-cranked burr grinder made of aluminium. There's nothing to fail (and I don't mind cranking for a minute in the morning).

My flat-screen is a Panasonic that used to belong to my father; it must be 15 years old. It's never failed.

I don't own a food processor; that would be me with a chef's knife, a grater, and a pestle-and-mortar.

The presence of an LCD display on a product is a big warning sign.
