I wouldn't say that all cheap stuff is "bought twice" or is the worse long term value (living out of the clothes donation bin, for both rich and poor, is probably the best value as far as durability-to-cost). It's that t

They don't have to be instant either: I've seen 120V plugin models that have a small tank. No idea what's better, but you don't need a 240V hookup in the bathroom to have a "while the pipes heat up" heat source

Personal, painful anecdote without catharsis: Young and naive with airline travel, my wife lost her childhood bear when the airline lost our luggage, and we arrived in another country with nothing. Decades on and long divorced, I still get
