It probably depends on where you are, but you can absolutely find brands where the production quality is higher.

It's like with electric bikes. You can buy VanMoof (bling) or Gazelle (quality).

The problem is that those are mostly targeting professional kitchens and generally aren't what people want in their home kitchen. Finding something that will perform and last like a professional grade piece of kit, while still work and look good in your designer home kitchen is very hard.

That's always been the case.
