If only the extra costs in manufacture of the better products were passed on, I would agree. But that's not how it is in the real world. Most charge what the market will stand. Whether the more expensive product with a "name" is better than the cheaper no-name one is a matter of checking the label, or a dubious matter of trust. Personally I know which I'd choose. Many of the different names come out of the same factories. There was a report that the manufacturers energy info cannot always be trusted. A bit like the fuel consumption of cars! You can check both yourself, but how many check white goods energy consumption? I have check the fuel consumption on cars I have had, and the advertised fuel consumption is nowhere near accurate. I keep a log of fuel used and distance travelled. Alan |
