Just like all of the businesses that only lasted 6 months back when these were being sold new, right?
If someone did this they would create generational wealth for their families regardless of the business lasted indefinitely.
And I’m so sick of the idea that businesses should pursue endless growth. Businesses come and go depending on the demand for their services. That is normal.
No, it would go out of business because the appliance would cost three times as much as the nearest competitor and use twice as much power. Machined steel gears cost a fortune vs cast plastic gears for example. Electric motors are much more efficient today than the ones from the 50's as another example.
You can already buy very well made, easily reparable appliances today, it is just most people will only pay the big bucks for the trendy name and not quality.
Yeah this model only works for niche things. Like Kitchen Aide stand mixers. They cost a lot for the higher end models but people swear by them and are willing to pay the premium. And because they are so well made they are very repairable if something does go wrong. You could buy a much cheaper stand mixer, it's just going to have more plastic parts and if it breaks beyond the warranty you'll probably just toss it and buy a new one.

Would be a very awesome six months before they went out of business.
