    Cheap stuff is often the same as expensive stuff without the markup.

    Shit, often cheap stuff is outright better.

      Agreed.

      Expensive products are far from any guarantee of good quality. Cookers are a good example. The expensive ones invariably have identical components to the cheaper models such as the energy regulators or thermocouples.
