Do you really get what you pay for?
 

Do you believe that you get what you say for and that named products are better made? Or do you think the products are just overpriced versions of a near identical product? All opinions welcome. Thought this might make an interesting discussion.

I am sure that asda's own brand (not smartprice) are the same as the more expensive products.

Re: Do you really get what you pay for?
 

I think it depend,s wether you want to bye the brand name,s but my self i try to stick to brand name,s.

Are we talking food here Speedy or just things in general?

Re: Do you really get what you pay for?
 

Anything at all where there is a more expensive version from a named brand.

I have always found that paying more for footwear has paid off.

Re: Do you really get what you pay for?
 

good question Speedy, sometimes brand names are best,sometimes they aint,i tend to seek out people with knowledge about a particular item first before i buy, take no notice of the "commision vultures" in the store, find out who knows the S.P. is my advice.;)

I work for a gas company, and we install one make of boiler, (and are approved by the manufacturer), in boiler terms, yes you get what you pay for, but cheap or incorrect model can cost you dear, so the installer is just as important as the purchase.

Re: Do you really get what you pay for?
 

So if you compared similar models which is the best boiler between Baxi, Potterton or the cheaper make Main. Is the more expensive Potterton Gold really a better quality boiler than the not Gold version?

I always buy branded electrical goods, tvs, dvd players, stereos and that sort of thing. Footwear i normally get brands aswell. But as for food and clothes i dont really mind buying 'cheap' stuff.

Re: Do you really get what you pay for?
 

Some cheap stuff is just as good as the expensive stuff, if not better..

Take gel..

I prefer the cheap gel, seems to work better, haha..

Re: Do you really get what you pay for?
 

The Potterton gold is the most efficient, not the most reliable or best quality, potterton and main are both owned by baxi, Worcester Bosch and Vaillant are the best by a fair way. Most important is the guarantee (5 years on WB if fitted by approved people) and the cleaning of the system which should take about 4 hours.
