      I have a theory that shitty products fundamentaly out-compete good products today because its way cheaper to market your product as good than to actually develop it well. I call it the craptocracy

        Someone needs to create a business that bails out/buys excellent quality products and produces them in a small enough scale that only new owners will need.

        Consider it an excellent achievement for a product to make it here. Only the best buy it for life products.

      Because it is made redundant by literally everything else that is already in your kitchen. You can’t name one thing this appliance does that a pressure cooker, stove/oven and crock pot don’t already do.

      It also doesn’t replace any of those other devices so unless you’re a college dorm resident it’s just another massive thing on your counter for basically no value or reason
