Re: Neff T4344 hob flashing E
Hell bent on the last word arn’t you. Well you’ve just had it. Good bye.
Re: Neff T4344 hob flashing E
So, Hammertime thinks that I should be grateful that this high tech, high cost device from a high end manufacturer can manage to function for just over two years without failing, when used by two elderly retired people!
It is that attitude among consumers that allows such companies to get away with making tat. If I wanted tat I could buy that (for half the price) and throw it away when it broke down after two years.
Incidently, my last two cookers each worked OK for in excess of ten years.
With regard to ‘planned obsolescence’, having worked for 48 years in industry I can assure Hammertime that it widespread across many industries. Some call it ‘value engineering’ but be assured that is value to the manufacturer not the consummer. The cheaper the manufacturing cost consistant with the product failing outside guarantee the better.
Hammertime should not be so niave

Child locks are off. Worktops have been thoroughly cleaned.
I do not agree it is bad luck. It is a product which is clearly unsuitable for purpose.
It would be reasonable to expect a cooker of this supposed quality to last for at least the six years suggested in the Sale of Goods Act 1979.
Manufacturers warranty is of little significance, as the consumers contract is with the retailer, who is responsible for up to 6 years. I shall be addressing the problem to them.
