    Luck of the draw.

    We’re suffering from design issues. People want refrigerators with the freezer on the bottom and washers that open in the front.

    Then companies want to make you connect to the internet so they can put an app on your cell phone and sell your data to every bidder.

    Then, adding insult to injury unless you buy the top of the line they skimp. (And even then sometimes, looking at you Samsung refrigerators) That mid-range dishwasher no longer has a mascerator in the sump and the walls and the swing arms are all made out of plastic with no bearings. They’re not putting good seals and isolation around the logic boards.

    You can buy good long-lasting stuff if you’re careful. But man are you going to pay.

    When people look at a $3000 - $4,000 laundry set vs a $1200 set They start to ponder if it washes clothes does it matter.
