Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of? (lemmy.world)

I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

I find that surprising. I've bought knock off toner on Amazon for both brother and cannon printers, and it's great. No issues whatsoever.

Hmm maybe I had bad luck but I won't dare to try again because the experience was so bad.

Some knock-offs use low quality ingredients, which can break your printer after long use.

But certainly not all of them. The absolute cheapest ones are the worst, but slightly more expensive ones are usually fine and still way cheaper than the official cartridges.
