Guest The Pom Queen Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Have to say I'm impressed with Dyson and it's great to see they made the list. We bought ours ten years ago and although the motor has failed twice in this period they have fixed it free of charge and even given it a free service. Not many companies would fix a vacuum that is 9 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benthomas010 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Most of those brands foods contain palm oil Whys that a problem? As long as it certified as from a sustainable source there is nothing wrong with palm oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambethlad Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 How many of these products are Australian owned and manufactured? Probably one or two. I always try and support local produce even if it costs more but it's getting harder to find. The other day I picked up a can of Mortein Fly Spray which is an iconic Australian brand and noticed it is now made in Malaysia and also it was twice the price of the Coles home brand fly spray which was Australian made.

A year ago they would have been there but with the factory closures and pooof! Still Merc and BMW are expensive motors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
