What expensive item really made it worth it?

For me it had to have been my Samsung washer and dryer set I got on sale for about $1200 last year so quiet and no issues yet.

I have a Samsung as well! Love them.
For me, it would be my iMac, it has made working from home that much easier.. I enjoy it, and didn't like the initial price point, but my goodness.. I absolutely love it haha.

I use GarageBand a lot! Lol I am a drummer and can play guitar a little. Drummer mainly. So I am constantly tinkering with it.
I always wanted an iPad.. but I opted for a Macbook Air.

Kinda do regret that one...but still nice.

My Trek Slash 8 which I debated about buying as I thought it wouldn't be for me, but soon found out it is a beast.

Don't you only buy beast related products?

... glad to see you haven't changed! 

I don't buy a lot of expensive things, but I gave myself a present a few years back in the form of a custom-built Manson's electric guitar. This year it's been announced the legendary shop is closing for good... so might hold onto that for a few years yet before seeing what its worth one day!

My Mac Book Pro. Absolutely worth 3000 dollars. I didn't realize that it was as a power house for video editing, and all that as I thought it was. Now I understand why it's the preferred machine among many digital creators! The battery life on the M1 is absolutely amazing! I'm a year in and at 98% battery health.

Cycle Count: 104
Condition: Normal
Maximum Capacity: 98%

Been on this machine daily for editing work, also, Apple Arcade is pretty cool!

We had a Samsung washer last time. It broke down, so had to replace it, and decided to go for an LG one as it offered better energy efficiency, a bigger drum and spin speed. Terrible decision. I don't know if it is just a dud we have purchased, but it has been troublesome since we got it. It seems to collect grime, and will 'throw it up' in to the drum sometimes when the spin is out of balance a bit, on some cycles it doesn't heat the water, the auto dispense doesn't dispense the softner, and the programmed cycles just don't seem right. For example, one cycle it has a 30 minute final spin, and another one doesn't drain or spin before the first rinse. Should really contact them about it, shouldn't i!

Definitely not worth it.

Depends on the model, I always research products and this one wasn't bad.

Same here.  I deliberated for a while before deciding on this.  Reviews were all positive.  Just think we are cursed or something when it comes to white goods.  Doesn't help that we have really really hard water here, which doesn't help with the grime buildup.  We had a Samsung fridge freezer last time, which was supposedly total frost free, but had terrible ice build up, and would leave a puddle on the floor twice a day.

All products can be a hit or miss, I loved my old LG tv then when my last TV broke I bought a LG for a replacement and the dark levels are so bad when watching it at night it looks like a glow stick effect from LED backlight bleed super off putting. It's fine with light but still.

We have a similar problem with the lighting levels on the TV.  The darker scenes are so bad that you can not always see people, or see the expressions on their faces.

Sad reality is companies make things to break now days or they want you to spend more on higher models that won't break as quick - considered OLED but even that has issues at the time and I'd be spending $1,000 for a 55" vs $500 for a 65" maybe next unit if I get a couple years out of this one.
