I agree that it might be a problem of lower-quality appliances. Anecdotally, mine is 20 years old and was repaired recently (some parts had to be manufactured as they don’t make them anymore) and still works.
Is there an open alternative for Consumer Reports? The content of this link is blocked without a subscription it seems like. Thx!
There are other similar publications like the New York Times Wirecutter, but they’re not generally available without a subscription.
I recommend paying a visit to your local library if you’re thinking of buying a major appliance; in the US at least, libraries tend to have all the relevant subscriptions and can get you access.
