Is this so? How does the consumer know that the slightly pricier one is more durable and not just slightly pricier?

- digisign 5y agoThe warranty should be a clue but is not often advertised.
- laurent92 5y agoI’ve once bought a warranty extension for my washing machine, only to discover that it is impossible to reach them.
- xeyownt 5y agoExactly. Moreover less expensive doesn't mean worst quality. True for clothes, food and electronics.

- andi999 5y agoOnly fancy thing you want is dual compressor, so one compressor for the fridge one for the freezer. (Otherwise they do sometime things like heating one compartment with the lightbulb....)
- sjamaan 5y agoI think one problem is that the device that's cheaper isn't exactly advertising the fact that it will die in a year. In fact, when it is a brand new one that just hit the market, who even knows when it will die? This is the kind of thing that requires some historical knowledge which only a good salesman will be able to tell you, but if you're just buying online by five star reviews of happy customers who also bought it the last year, how are you going to know it'll die next year? And next year, there will be a new model, so all those one-star review updates to last year's model will not be seen by someone in the market for a new one.
