Your appliance will cost 4-10x more. There’s no magic to it. Appliances were like opera. Made for the rich

    Do the appliances the rich currently buy follow this rule or do they just get fancier low durability goods

    There's a whole world of super high-end appliances you've never even heard of because you're not worth marketing to.

    Yeah but I’m wondering if they’re meaningfully more durable or repairable versus if they’re just happy to eat the massive bills to fix or replace them when shit happens

    They are. Usually for commercial purposes, if your business depends on your fridge working, you will get a reliable fridge.

    However as of today, you don't need to spend 10k on an appliance to have a good one. Miele, BSH and Liebherr all have good appliances, long warranties, they sell replacement parts and manuals for DIY.

    Could be worth buying something fancy if it’s easy or cheap to fix and would actually last a lifetime

    But I have a feeling they’re just expensive and fancy and not actually gonna last much longer unless it’s commercial grade

    I’ve had plenty of regular appliances last well past their warranties so I’m skeptical the super fancy stuff I’ve never heard of it is much different in terms of lifetime unless it’s commercial grade

    It depends. If you are a show off that only cares about aesthetics, then you're paying for looks, not quality.

    In my experience, a great dishwasher is worth the money. I had a Miele that was absolutely silent. Not whisper quiet. Silent.

    A good, high quality, refrigerator is also worth it. You don't know your fridge is shit until you have one that keeps your food fresh, and doesn't freeze or wilt your produce.

    If you are not a baker, or someone who uses the oven on a regular basis, then in my opinion any low tech electric stove will do the trick. Induction top if you like precise temp controls. Getting an oven right is very difficult and normally where you see the well deserved price jump.

    I upgraded my simple low tech 10y old Bosch oven by purchasing a top of the line Bosch one (also about 10y old) for 50 Euro and selling my old one for 30.

    Now I have an oven that heats up to 300C, has pyrolisis for self - cleaning and has a built in microwave. 

    I love buying pre-owned stuff.

    Heads up on pyrolytic self cleaning, I've learned since buying mine that it's commonly referred to as "self destruct mode" by oven designers as it is not uncommon for it to damage electronic parts, seals and the front glass of the oven, produces carbon monoxide which it will dump into your house and firefighters recommend against using it as sometimes it just goes up in flames.

    Most of the time it's perfectly safe, but has the potential to go wrong just about any time.

    I love buying pre-owned stuff.

    There is a lot pre-owned stuff not worth spending money on because it's basically already worn-out. There is also a ton of pre-owned stuff that will last for years more, where the original owner didn't need it anymore for whatever reason. If you know what to buy, second hand is amazing value. I love getting that value too, but it does take some understanding or knowledge.

    So you're saying we need a start up that sells people.
