I think a big part of the problem is that most people go to the giant big box store for a new appliance and the only things they sell are in a fairly tight price range of $800-$1600. If you want a $4000 one you have to go to a boutique appliance place and then you don’t even know if the thing you are buying is better quality or simply paying for the brand.

When I recently went through this for a new oven I found the high end ovens were all gas tops (I was set on switching to Induction - and boy am I thrilled to have made that decision!) and on the metrics they were smaller ovens, had fewer bells and whistles, but had a big brand on the front for impressing guests.
