can you mention some brands that were high rated but crappy?
Yes the cheap stuff isn't good anymore and the good stuff isn't cheap
I have not noticed that. All I ever need to do is look at a the first few Google results and the big brands I already know, and read then one-star reviews on Amazon. They all have the same 4.9 star rating, but some will say "Feels cheap and plasticky", while others will say "Started smoking after a day".I've had a lot of bad results with anything niche and unusual, now I try to stick with really popular products that are so well known that someone would have told me
Depends which brand you buy. Not everyone produces garbage.
You overestimate the quality of your "trusted" brands.
Works great until the brands start cutting corners.
You make it sound like it's either Amazon or chinese crap made to last 2 minutes.
Have you ever tried some of the competing brands - the quality is terrible!
The thing is, the quality is not that high and the look not that great. It's just extremely well known and you people know what they are getting. If you know where to look and especially if you are willing to go online, you can het the same quality and look for half or a third of the price.
Well I’m sold, I am tired of crappy clippers, and have plenty of complaints.There’s categories of products where the market is flooded with minimum quality choices because most people are satisfied with the cheapest option.And if I find more expensive options I hesitate to purchase because I suspect that it is just a repackage of a minimum quality product.Even in this case I am wondering if I order these, will I get the real deal, or a cheap knock off? I will order these though.
