    Brand names have lost all of their original meaning, I am considering buying a "Whirlpool" refrigerator. I alredy have a "Frigidare" kitchen range. and a "Hotpoint" clothes washer.
    There's already an Apple TV.  Now I am waiting to see the Microsoft  microwave.

      Keep us posted. I think whirlpool or hotpoint may be working on that, too.

          Not nearly. I can remember when Firgidaire meant refiigerator. My firgidaire range is HOT!! if you put lettuce in it, it goes all to hell in a short time.

              That's how I feel, too. I like simple appliances that ask me no choice when I open it and just do its work.

    Who needs a brand name? Not me, I look at the product and then use it. It's brand is insignificant to me.

      That is so true, but it did take awhile to get used to the Frigidare name on my kitchen range.
