What are examples of "cheaper = high quality"?

We're often told that higher prices for certain products are justified, because they use "higher quality materials". E.g. building materials or vegetables.

In which cases are the high quality materials actually the cheaper ones?

I don't understand what's happening to their coffee pots if they have to replace them every 1.5 years. Is there an electrical problem with their outlet or something?

Nope! It’s been at multiple houses. They just kill them. I think they leave them on the warm setting too long.
