Unpopular opinion: I regret buying a cheap $20 rice cooker

Everyone says go budget on small appliances, but my $20 rice cooker from Target burns the bottom every time. After 3 months of crusty rice, I'm about to drop $60 on a proper one. Has anyone else been burned by going too cheap on something basic?

Ngl, cheap ones are a false economy.

Gotta be honest, I used to be the guy grabbing the cheapest option every time. Thought I was being smart with my money. Then I bought a cheap pair of headphones that died in three months, and a bargain blender that couldn't crush ice. The headphones were $15 so I went through four pairs in a year, spending way more than if I'd just bought one decent set. Have you had a cheap purchase that ended up costing more in the long run?
