Daewoo VCR/DVD combo unit

Well, the Daewoo VHS / DVD combo unit that we have had for a year or so now has crapped out. Done. Finito Kaput.

I remember the first VHS player that I got -- it lasted for years and years. I still have an old NEC CD player that works like a champ. Ditto for my old Pioneer CD player. The old stuff just keeps on working.

But this Daewoo unit ... it isn't that old. It shouldn't have broken. But it has. The DVD tray won't open. Silly, stupid little thing ... but it completely cancels the usefulness of the unit. Now, it's basically junk.

So I have to ask myself, is it just Daewoo that's this way? Or is it the rest of the electronic's manufacturers as well? Are they now making stuff that will last from 1 to 3 years, then break so that we have to buy something else and put the old unit in the electronic / toxic waste landfill?

I'm pissed off! And I will not be buying anything from Daewoo again. Ditto from Sony (that's another story).

But .... where can I turn? Who is making QUALITY products any more?

I don't know that any one is ...
