This is the standard American consumer approach to American products. it is not the standard approach in Europe. The Germans, Austrians, Finns, etc. are very determined to build stuff right the first time. The European consumer expects nothing less.

American manufacturers push everything out the door and then rely on "Warranty" to fix all the problems that should not have left the factory.

As a Canadian consumer with access to both European and American products, I much prefer the European approach.
