Still - Quality control seems absent.

I also "had similar experience", not only with HP-calcs, but through smart other toys. For the last 15 years my TI-83plus, TI-92, HP-50G (one from a couple) and HP-39gii all broke ranks after completion of term of guarantee. The greatest loss for me is a loss of data and spent time, but not cost of this Chinese garbage. I do not know now, which platform to choose for future calculations to the next 10 years: HP-Prime or TI-Nspire CAS? FX-2.0 and HP-50G remain my best calculators for all times so far.
