If you buy something expensive it won't last any longer than the cheap shit. Most of the core components are the same, you just get more features.

The key is usually to buy commercial grade, but that can be up to 10X as expensive.

Consumer grade stuff has been a race to the bottom on price and quality for years with glitzy bullshit features like WiFi support making up in marketing.
