One thing I learned on subreddits about high quality items is:
People will inevitably defend their plastic crap as "high quality". It isn't.
Preach it. Reddit is a black hole now. I was a big user in 2015.

I don't think it has anything to do with Reddit. Most people just can't fathom a higher quality of things than the best they know.
It's one of the few things I value in Germans - because sometimes they can and make high quality stuff out of raw metal, wood, fine finishes, very few parts and precise craftsmanship.
I'm unfamiliar with your vacuum. Maybe I'm wrong but it looks very plastic to me. Solid metal would look different. Sometimes one just has to accept that real high quality simply just doesn't exist. The best in the world isn't good enough.

Haha I would never buy a metal vacuum. Could you imagine how heavy that thing would be?
reply
I can imagine, because my parents still have one. Kirby (yes, search for it) - it is a monster machine! It is something completely different. Every other vacuum feels like a toy.

I don't mean that literally (unless... ;) ). Just wanted to say we should always keep on dreaming about improving literally everything on earth. Everything that is good quality could be even better quality.

Oh for sure. I was just having some fun and poking.
Better quality and better design are things I’m craving for right now.
