It's distressing. 30 years ago if you bought cheap you got cheap and maybe you get lucky or not. If you paid extra you got solid. Now there isn't much correlation. You can pay dear and get junk. And cheap is worse than it used to be. And the middle seems gone where you can buy something low frills and solid. I remember a guys essay about buying a new toaster. Turned out all the toasters he looked at had the exact same commodity mechanism. $15 toaster, $80 toaster they're the same inside. If it were up to me any appliance that's under 10 years old that gets dropped off at the dump would be shipped to the manufacturer at their expense to dispose of. Bonus the dump charges them a handling fee.
