    Premium brands are not industrial brands. Goal of premium brands is to be as expensive as possible.

      That’s the problem. A lot of those high-end, expensive appliances are built just as shitty as the low-end, basic models. The difference is just some bells and whistles and a higher price tag.

      I have no problem paying extra for a higher quality, better built appliance. But the challenge is differentiating those from the low quality, built as cheaply as possible appliances that have just been marked up with a premium price tag.

      At least when I buy the cheap, shitty model, I get what I paid for.

        I often repeat to my parents and grand parents, that “expensive doesn’t mean good quality”. Well, mostly to mom and granny.

        The difference is just some bells and whistles and a higher price tag.

        Bells and whistles that sell your personal data.
