We Explain: Stop buying cheap items and go for the expensive ones (within reason)

OK so this goes against everything we normally post about but give us two minutes to explain, so we’ve stopped buying cheap household items and now go with ones that often cost more in the short term but often will last much longer in the longrun.

A great example of this paying off:

“My parents paid £60 for a kitchen bin years ago, it seems crazy but it came with a 10-year warranty, the lid mechanism stopped flipping up fully after 7 years. I went on the website for them and ordered a new lid for FREE, they were just about to go and buy a new bin” – Will (10ways founder)

We now buy the majority of products from these companies, all of them are best in market with normally extended warranties above 12 months as standard or superior customer service:
