IMO Paying more don’t mean the will last longer. IMO lucky to get 7 years. Why? Most set there and run till the break from overheating. I suspect most will not pull them out and clean condenser cooling coils and fan or defrost them every year or so. Sooner it you have pets. Even then no guarantee it will last longer due to electronic part failure in system.

I brought expense Maytag few years ago and put my old side by side hot point in garage. Right after the warranty ran out the compressor died with similar costs to repair. I got rid of it and put old hot point back in kitchen.
