I'm not trying to make remarks or pick a fight, really. It was more that this thread isn't purely about super cheap stuff, there's a middle ground of direct from Asia stuff that might have a bit more QAQC to it.
That is true. You get what you pay for. If the similar western brand product costs £1000 otherwise 500 quid for it is cheap. There are product categories where the failure rates are high anyway and additional price is just mark up for customer service process.
