maybe in your universe. i lost count of appliances that failed after 1 year, where the vendor is asking for all sorts of pictures and then declares "it's not covered by warranty". repairing such item comes from own pocket, and -if possible - it's usually comparable to paying for it again

For something like a fridge, vacuum, dishwasher, washing machine they're all lasting substantially more than a year, even at the bottom of the market. If you're talking about a £20 blender then... yeah, I guess?
