Didn't know they where German. My main association with them is that their stuff is kinda ass.

Same. I worked in an electronics store. This was one of the manufacturers where products broke so often we had a separate bin for their broken products.

But it was also one of the "refund anytime, no questions asked" manufacturers where we could just say how many value of products we got returned and they would just refund the amount to us. No pesky RMA process, no repairs, just take it back whenever the customer is unhappy and throw it away.

How are manufacturers like this even allowed to exist. The amount of environmental pollution by generating e-waste is just insane.
