I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.
Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I’ll never use a crappy blender again.
Anything else like that?

I’ve actually heard that a lot of beginners quit because no matter how hard they practice it sounds like trash and feels bad to play, and it’s to do with the cheap guitar they got.
Yes, this is especially true when dealing with a cheaper guitar with high action (distance of the strings from the fretboard). Without a proper setup (which will generally try to get the strings as low/comfortable as possible), it can make the process really hard on your hands, especially with an acoustic. You’re much more likely to quit if, in addition to slow beginner progress, it also literally hurts you to play it or the strings won’t stay in tune properly, etc…
What are examples of decent acoustic guitars to look for used?
The only brand of acoustic I would buy blind is Yamaha. Great quality control, especially in the FG series. Anything else, play them first.
I don’t know about that. I’ve run across some real turds from Yamaha over the years. That said, it’s been about 20 years since I last played one and maybe they’ve upped their game. For my money Guild makes the best lower-priced guitars, though granted they’re mostly more expensive than Yamahas.
