It seems to me that everyone has an opinion on BB and just about any other large chain store of any type, selling many different types of merchandise. Many have stated "Back in the old days......." well that ages us who can remember those days and back then there were not malls, or huge stores that sell everything, there were mostly small stores that carried appliances, electronics, hardware, lumber, and so on. So we were pretty much forced to go to each store to purchase the things we wanted or needed, and there was no internet so no online buying happening! But we had Sears, Montgomery Wards, JC Penneys that had catalog sales and their department stores in towns. So now low and behold time has passed and the computer age has made us all a little jaded and truly lazy as we would rather sit in the arm chair on our laptops surfing all around the world looking for the next great thing to buy, so I guess progress and technology has given us the world we live in. So truth be told we are all guilty of wanting more stuff and more stuff and more stuff, this has created the throw away world we live in as the producers of the "SUPER NEW and IMPROVED STUFF!!" get everyone hooked and come out with the new models so we have to run out and buy it to one up our friends and family.
But I have bought many $1000's of things from BB and I have never had an issue with anything, except within a month or 2 what I just bought has now become obsolete or new and improved and at 1/2 the price! Thus another problem with technology and our great advancing world, so be as happy with what you can buy and use it with as much care as you can and it should last you past the warranty date, because nothing lasts forever if you use it. But with that being said back in the 50's 60's 70's we made friends with the shop owners and there was the connection and attempts at better service, but that is not possible with a large national chain, unless you know someone who works there.
I guess that is enough babbling, just buy what you need the way you want to and be happy as you can and hope it never breaks or fails................but it will and you will be irritated, but unless it was a complete failure of the company or who built it or through lies and deception of the store due to before hand knowledge of a junk item, there is not much anyone can do about things failing. It is just part of life.
Stop and smell the roses, coffee or fresh baked bread, and not worry so much about our stuff,
Have a great night and a wonderful new year,
Jeff
