Ideally, if I ever give advice to my children, it will be simple things that can be 99.9% infallible.
One thing that falls into that category is to buy things that last forever whenever possible if it's a big ticket item.
What's a big ticket item? Hard to say, but something that would piss you off if you had to replace it every three years if you go cheap and lasts longer than 15 if you pay for premium.
Of course wear and tear makes things die sooner than later, but if you go with a brand that makes affordable replacements parts, then you should be set.
I say this because I just had to buy new wheels for my Toro "22 Recycler 6.5 hp GTS self-propelled mower. I paid $299 for it Nine years ago. Runs great, but the plastic rear wheels cracked and died. Found replacement wheels on Ebay and I'm good to go without having to get a new mower for ten times the price of replacement wheels.
Obviously, an Ebay vendor can be horrid if you aren't keen in your online shopping.
