Unlike like you I don't care a out a brand. I am also not willing to pay extra just because there is a name printed on it. And why should I advertise that brand for free?
There is plenty of proof good brands (more lile known names) are in many cases exactly the same product as several cheap ones. Overproduction is sold as a house brand, the inner is all from China.
I rather check what it contains and the duration if the guarantee.
Like the self made rich state: why pay 1800 for what an item of 300 can do as well!
Buying a new car? It's loss of capital.
When I plan to buy something... I analyze is the price , the investment and the time of use. Sometimes I pay more for a product, but I've already analyzed its benefits.
Well, you have to keep in mind that I am a somewhat strange being, hahaha.
