American Leather and Luonto make great sofas and sleeper sofas. You can get something decent at Ikea for less than Wayfair with better quality. For me I do a combo of these.

You have to buy a separate cap. As long as it's a narrow mouth. https://www.kleankanteen.com/collections/caps/products/stainless-unibody-bamboo-cap

I was hoping the cap on the 64oz was not plastic, but it is :(

They are Stainless.... How does it Patina?

Sound is too soft and scratchy

Also when my mom asked which brand I was getting, I told her speed Queen. She said that’s what her mom had (probably 60-70+ years ago) and she said it lasted ages and IIRC she had it when she died in 2001.

Tom Bihn wallets. I recommend #5.

Just purchased the speed queen classic models. I had been looking into new machines for years because I knew my old ones would eventually wear out. My research overwhelming suggested speed queens (especially asking around my “mom groups”). I found this sub maybe a year and a half ago and unsurprisingly, everyone here mostly suggests speed queens as well. So when my last one finally stopped agitating, I decided to go with SQ. I got it earlier this week and I absolutely love it. The only thing I noticed that I don’t love is I cannot select a load size, there’s only regular fill and deep fill. But that was in no way a deal breaker, for me, we have a large family so it’s not hard to get a full load.

The price was steep, so I called around looking for scratch and dent, found a place that had a sale and offered to deliver but I was too far away so they ended up giving me an extra $150 off each if I could pick up. so I got them for 1150 each. Reg price I think was 1459 ea.

I'd say the Kenmore did just as well when it was working correctly. However, after about 5 years, the suspension on the drum failed. I literally had to replace the shocks and springs like it was a car. However, I guess I didn't do it quickly enough because after about another year, we started finding beige plastic shavings in our clothes and it started making more noise.

The main bearing failed so the tub was wobbling within the drum. The plastic bits were the drum being shaved away by the stainless tub. It wasn't worth fixing.

Wish I knew what mine was called, bought it at an airport for travel. Bills fold three times around a small lightweight metal case. The case stops scanning (for theft) and holds six cards. There is a cool little lever that makes them pop up staggered for easy access. Never fallen out. There is also room for more cards in pockets of the folding sections.. Small and effective, I love it. It's barely much larger in dimensions than the cards themselves..

Lots of down votes I'm guessing? Not sure why tho.

My wife has a thin wallet attached to her phone case.

I’ve had a down pillow at some point and I remember it was always a pancake in the morning. Now I have a couple latex toppers and they are pretty springy.

These are SO neat. Thank you!

Grip 6 maybe. They have a few styles.

I personally like Trayvax wallets.

Preference on a bill-fold style, or would you be open to a travel style one that zips? I have a super simple zippered one that I've been using daily since 2016 and I love it! (I'm happy to tell you more if you want, but if the style isn't for you, all good!)

When you say minimalist, are you talking about purse level minimalist or front pocket level minimalist?

Good grief. The watches you're referring to do triple duty functioning as status markers and jewelry as well as timepieces. $50 Casios can withstand more knocks and outlast Swiss watches costing a 100 times more.

Was going to recommend you a pillow but you have private messages turned off. FYI for the future

Shredded latex is about as far from down as you can get, lol. Very firm compared to down.

Electric Kettles are the goat

My Seiko 5 series is beautiful, all mechanical, and while it’s relatively new I expect it to be BIFL

Dry cleaning

Good hotels have fantastic beds and pillows that make you say, “I want to live like this.”
