What do retailers did with nearly new, but faulty, small appliances? If they are repaired, it’s not obvious where they are resold. If they aren’t repaired, where do they end up? We use GPS trackers to follow a dead fridge and faulty food mixers to their final destinations. Follow our journey to see where the broken appliances end up.

In this episode host Jon Duffy is joined by Consumer NZ 'Product Test Manager' Paul Smith, as well as Appliance Outlet manager Michael Lovell and Computer Recycling boss Patrick Moynahan.
