I'm nearing a decade into my $15 Mr. Coffee and the little guy is still trucking along just fine.
Simplicity isn't a measure of quality, but the more complex a thing is, the greater the number of parts that can fail, so it's easier to make a robust simple thing than a robust complex thing.

I love my Roborock but I'm not going to freak out when it bites the dust in a couple years +/-
