Can you, though?
Or has the maker of that high-end $1500 fridge been brought out by the maker of $500 fridges? Are the two brands made in the same factory, to the same quality standards, while the owners laugh at those chumps who are paying 3x the price just to have a different sticker on the front?
I've brought high-end white goods in the past and found the performance unimpressive. In my case, a high-end washing machine with poor rinse performance.
- r0fl 3y agoYou can buy column fridge / freezers from sub zero, thermador, miele that are about $20,000-$30,000 (price in Canada) with complete different quality standards
- michaelt 3y agoActually it was a Miele washing machine that produced that mediocre rinse performance I mentioned.
- BeetleB 3y agoSorry, but $1500 is not high end. Not even close. Heuristic: If you can buy it at Lowe's/Home Depot, it probably isn't high end.
- rsynnott 3y agoThis is, of course, why you should always investigate the corporate structure of your appliance makers. There certainly are high-end, or at least highish-end brands in that camp, but it's not all of them.
