I feel that I understand your frustration in the situation, but before you fly off the handle about certain companies about products they sold you, I feel that it is your responsibilty as a consumer to know what you are buying. It is bad that the salesman take advantage of customers that know nothing about what they are buying, which in my opinion is most people, but I feel that it is just as much the consumers fault also. We have so many resources out there providing information, feedback, history about products that we might think to be buying that we are not using to their full benefit in situations like this. Most purchases like this are spur of the moment b/c of certain reasons (superbowl, parties, bonus money/extra money) and it is a impulse buy, and in that situation a salesman takes adavantage of you and just tells you what you want to hear to make the sale. We need to be educated about what we buy, and go into large purchases like this with a firm grasp on what we are spending that amount of money on. What it basically comes down to after all that, the product that you purchased may not have been the best choice, and I know that is what they sold, but you did purchase it holding it up on a pedestal that it will never break, when you could have taken a few minutes to go online and read a few reviews of what other people have come to think about that certain product. If you have the aptitude to be a part of a sight that reports such concerns, then you should have looked into what you were buying to make sure it was going to be a good purchase instead of listening to the salesman that just wanted to make an extra buck..
