    GE no longer makes appliances. It’s a licensed out name now.

    I figure their star finally fell when they stopped making locomotives. What kind of giant industrial conglomerate does that?! EveN Hitachi, a brand mostly known for marital aids, makes locomotives!

      I use a lot of Japanese woodworking tools and hearing Hitachi outside of the context of steel production is always so confusing. They make some of the finest steels in the world, to be forged into unparalleled blades by master craftsmen and they also make “marital aids”.
