It's a cheap item yes but no, I didn't expect it to perform like the real thing, that would have been absurd. But for something that broke after 2 months, is like throwing money to the trash. It's a total waste.
Well yeah, that's kind of the point of cheap items. As in, for the most part, they literally aren't designed for long-term use. At best they are stop-gap solutions, at worst you buy them 20 or even 100 times to get the same use out of them that buying one of the more expensive options provides - more often than not, you end up paying more for cheap things than you do for expensive things, in some cases the cheap ones are detrimental to your health when used long term.
eg I had some pliers that I bought here for $1 that lasted a lot longer than some expensive brand name pliers...mostly because the expensive ones had irreplaceable leaf springs that were a little too brittle for my heavy handed-ness, and the cheap ones just had a normal spring...that failed in weeks so I replaced it with a new one and affixed it so it couldn't pop out like it kept doing before. I paid for the cheap ones in other ways, though, they were really hard on my hands while the expensive ones had nice, big padded handles designed for long-session use. In the end I bought some almost obnoxiously expensive heavy duty ones that are amazing and have lasted years, still going strong and don't make me feel like I'm developing carpal tunnel.
