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?

Niche musical instruments. A "cheap" hurdy gurdy can cost up to 2000 dollars and still sound like a bag of cats in a washing machine.

Some new recent models that are relatively cheap and sound okay exist now, but you really need to do your research.

I'm now really interested on how does it sound to have a bag of cats in a washing machine but there's some ethical problems...

BearMcCreary used a Hurdy Gurdy to make the music for the TV show "Black Sails": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utLXgOnIwdo

Might give you an idea how hard this instrument is to master.
