low in quality

“Low in quality and terrible taste.”

The buzz around graphene has led to a "wild west" situation in which some products containing the material may be highly priced yet actually low in quality, said Krister Svensson, associate professor of physics at Karlstad University in an interview published in 2019.

The Dodge brand, which for years has ranked low in quality, was aided by its relatively old model lineup, because engineers have had time to work out bugs, Betts said.

"The actual value of the item is very low in quality terms and in emotional terms to them. Brands want customers to consume more to keep up with trends - which generates a big waste problem."
