“I highly recommend checking out AVE's channel on Youtube”
One of the AvE teardowns showing how products are made cheaply
Full comment
This might be slightly off-topic, but if you like this type of teardown content, I highly recommend checking out AVE's channel on Youtube [1]. He does plenty of tool teardown's, things like drills, all types of heavy industrial gear, and some electronics thrown in. I find is fascinating, because you start to learn about the manufacturing process, why mechanical engineers choose specific materials, how they cut corners, and generally how things are made at low cost and high volume. Here's some highlights: - Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer: link - Hammer Drill Mechanism: link - Blendtec Blender: link - KitchenAid Mixer: this video - $500 Mining Flashlight: link [1] link

I thought the BOLTR teardown of one was entertaining: this video Sadly, it's only one model. I'd love to see a lot more consumer products be subjected to this kind of treatment.

I believe they’re referring to the KitchenAid stand mixer, a piece of equipment that’s known for being stoutly built. [1] (I know several people who’ve had theirs for decades.) Sadly, anything other appliance branded KitchenAid is basically hit-or-miss. They license their name to other manufacturers for certain products, so you can’t count on the name on its own to guarantee quality. [1] this video
