In the kitchen, we have cheap appliances and we have the expensive ones. We also have the ones that are very durable.

Most times, I’ve discovered that the cheapest appliances are durable because they also don’t spoil too quickly.

Example is my boiling ring, it’s cheaper than my electric kettle when I bought it, my electric kettle stopped working last year but this little boiling ring has kept serving me since then.

So I think cheaper appliances are more durable than the cost ones.

Another factor is the features that expensive appliances have that the durable cheap ones don’t have, expensive appliances like oven or microwave have a lot of feature and they are considered spoilt when one of this features don’t work.

Simple, mechanical appliances definitely last longer. Fewer complex electronic components mean fewer points of failure. Your boiling ring survives because it’s just a heating element no fancy boards to fry

I get what you mean, cheap stuff can surprise you with how long it lasts. But I think expensive ones just feel worse when they fail because you expect more from them.
