In my opinion, the cost of maintaining a Newell compared to a similar aged other middle of the road brand will be higher. How much higher, I cannot quantify that. Tom is spot on, there are more systems, more redundancy, and much higher end componentry used on the Newell.

One example would be the water pump. The middle of the road may have two 12V water pumps. The Newell will have one Headhunter and one 12V pump. The Headhunter is around a 1000 bucks to replace, the 12V pump is just a little more than 100.
