l_club23 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2007 Actually, Philips excels in their irons and shavers. The quality for their other products are pretty crap though. This is what my friend currently in Philips told me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bought their lowest end vacumm cleaner, and it spoilt within a month.Burning smell came out and then the motor broke down.Sent the VC back and they changed the motor.5 years ago bought a 21" CTV, it broke down after 1 years 2 months.. Got to pay $100 for repair (outside).However, the clock radio that I bought 20+ years ago now still working well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
