Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of?

I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

Power supplies and motherboards for PCs

generally if either of them go the rest of your investment goes with it. Worst case scenario the power supply damages the motherboard meaning your cheap purchase made you lose more parts.

Yup, power supplies and batteries are also usually the first components to die. All the more reason to avoid cheap ones.

What you said + nicer motherboards often come with bios flashback which should (IMO) be a mandatory feature for motherboards on platforms like AM4. Makes CPU compatibility much better since a supported bios version can be flashed anytime, no matter what CPU is currently installed (if a CPU is installed at all!).

The current motherboard situation is a total clown fiesta though. There is no such thing as a cheap motherboard any more.

And you will have to upgrade them whenever you upgrade your CPU these days.

Almost like socket types aren't a thing anymore...
