    Some of these products already exist. They are expensive. If you go back and look at the long-lasting appliances of the past, they were also expensive.

    One example is Speed Queen washers/dryers. Also Bosch dishwashers.

      Many of these become enshittified. Bosh is an example. My sister kitted out her kitchen with many Bosch appliances when she renovated, like 10 years ago. All have had issues.

      The fridge has peeling faux chrome handles, the microwave button/wheel/control had to be replaced, the washer had the drum bearing fail, and the drum housing is sealed, so you have to replace the whole drum assembly, which costs as much as an entire budget washer…
