    You can still buy those expensive appliances. The brands exist. Just be prepared to pay the prices your grandparents paid.

      Some of the brands have turned to shit tho.

      Samsung used to make reliable washers about two decades ago. Bosch appliances used to have a better reputation. Etc.

      Miele is the only one still making supposedly reliable stuff but I read they’re relaxing their once great parts availability policy. No they’re not getting cheaper, just enshittifying.
