Having looked at many appliances I don't think it is true. I spent 4x for a high end Bosch that died in 3 years just like the Kitchenaid it replaced. I replaced it with another Bosch and discovered the new model took away buttons and put behind a cloud app. Miele pushes lock in with their own custom detergents for their Dishwashers and Laundry machines. You end up paying more for less reliability now.
I am still considering a Speed Queen which will be $5000 for a set compared to a $1600 LG but have read many stories of lemon Speed Queens. They might be built with large struts and thick stainless steal, but they now all have Chinese manufactured controller boards that are $700 to replace. My Maytag's controller board was $150.
The cheap models of appliances are now the reliable ones because they are simple. And when they fail they are cheap to repair.
