I received an old washing machine when i got married and a new dryer. That washing machine is super heavy, but still working. The dryer is a POS and the plastic knobs have all started failing, so I have to use pliers to turn the knob.

I'd pay 2x the price of a standard appliance to get a quality one without question.

Buy used professional model instead. They will last much longer, while cost similar price. But usually, they are very dumb and feature-poor.

Also, if you see market for heavy duty products, you can pitch investors and start manufacturing them by yourself.

I've thought of both of these things before, but don't have the appetite for such a venture at the moment.
