Tried Blum hinges vs Amazon specials on a kitchen job last month

I had a client who wanted soft close hinges but didn't want to pay Blum prices. I installed a set of those cheap Amazon hinges on a test door and they worked fine for like a week. Then the soft close started failing on the third door I opened. I swapped them all out for the Blum 110 degree full overlay hinges and the difference was night and day. Has anyone else had luck with any of the mid range brands like Richelieu or are they all junk compared to Blum?

Three Amazon hinges failed on me in a row too lol, they're just not built to last. @xena1 honestly I don't get the hype though - a week of soft close failing isn't exactly the end of the world for a test door.

Man, my buddy tried the cheap route on his own kitchen and had the same exact problem within two weeks.
