Why is Ecotech equipment so unreliable?

I've had a problem with one mp10 out of 4 that I have with the magnet not holding the wet side in place, but none of my 4 mp40's have ever had issues.

However, my luck with Jebao is not so good, as I tried the cheap route, and the 2 I had broke within 12 months.
 
The main thing to keep in mind is very expensive brands with MAP pricing get pushed hard by sellers not because they are great products but because they are very profitable to sell. Sometimes these brands are also very good...but most of the time if a product is both very good and very profitable it would be priced to high to sell. So when you see everyone and their brother pushing the heck out of a MAP priced item it's usually safe to assume you are overpaying for the name.
