Would you pay what it costs to make. Because they make them, but you’re not going to find them at Best Buy on an 18 month payment plan. They’re going to start at $7k on steep sale for the smallest model if you’re lucky and work their way up in price. Everyone wants long lasting products, they just want them in made in China out of plastic component prices.
That’s only if loaded with wifi and other crap. It’s totally possible to make a mechanical washer with a metal gear transmission that will last 10 years for $1,500.
If you’re wondering about the downvotes, I got brigaded by PRC simps. Lemmy doesn’t yet have the protection against this that Reddit had.
