As the saying goes “You Get What You Pay For”

Yep

Everytime someone says “get what you pay for” in here, I think of this:

To me, Wyze has kind of changed the meaning of the quote “You get what you pay for”…while that statement will almost always be technically true in some way or another (obviously you literally get what you pay for)…in this case, Wyze has proven that more affordable price doesn’t actually mean worse quality, nor more expensive meaning better overall quality as the above unbiased article tested and proved…but rather it can now seem to just mean that you can spend a lot more for something not as good and now have less money for other things. Thus making “getting what you paid for” could mean you get a slightly worse financial situation (though admittedly negligible in the case of a single smart scale, or camera, but worse in a long-term pattern of thinking paying more for brand recognition or higher profit margins makes any difference) and fewer smart devices you could’ve otherwise had. That’s how I’ve been seeing it. Same with Wyze cameras. I have active smart cameras from more than 8 different companies (often for redundancy), and the more expensive ones DON’T work “better” than Wyze in my experience, so I see others “getting what they paid for” when they pay more money to someone’s higher profit margins and often for less functionality and forums full of people with all the same or similar complaints with that company too. To be clear, I respect others’ opinions and I fully support other people going with competitors so there continues to be good competition with price innovation occurring in the market. I even have and like devices from some of Wyze’s competitors, myself, as I said. But I always seem to find myself coming back to Wyze as my primary smart device company because they keep proving themselves to me over the long run…so I love “getting what I paid for” where I have awesome IoT / Smart Home devices for low profit margins through a company with awesome core values I respect and appreciate.
