+1 for the modern Cuisinart stuff.
I used to write them off as a throwaway Walmart brand; but actually got to handle some of their higher end SS products and they absolutely rival any SS out there.

I don’t think so. These are the type you pass along to your kids. Checkout r/restoration

Had these boots for maybe 10 years. Re-soled them several times but maybe too late? They are kind of "skewed" towards the sides, see this picture. It's most prominent on the left. The leather is also cracked in some places, although the biggest issue is that they are skewed. Can anything be done about this? They are very uncomfortable currently. Shame, I've loved them.
Edit: I have greased them regularly, at least once/year. Too seldom?

Like I said, I’ve had mine for 5 years and it’s good as new.

I have the Demeyere Atlantis/Proline and previously had All-Clad D3 and Copper Core. Both companies make exceptional products although the Demeyere Atlantis/Proline is arguably a pinnacle of multi-ply cookware in terms of performance and build quality, IMO. But I don't think you could go wrong with either.

Nicks. They can make you a custom boot fit to you. But they are pricey

Reply to comment by Miguel7501 in Toastmaster B700C. Bought by my great grand-parents. Inherited by my hunt in early 90's. Given to me in 2000 when I leaved home for college. Still running good but toasts are not dark anymore on the highest settings. Any adjustment possible? by Bacondunord
I just opened it. It is very dirty for sure. I looked at the mecanism. It is very simple. There is a small tab touching the toast level slider. I gave it a small bend. I'm letting the bottom part soak in warm water and little dish soap to soften up years of bread bits (and occasional egg roll crunchin after reheating in microwave). Will brush them off and let dry. And repost again tomorrow with the results.

Also love scan pan. We have the haptiq line. Lifetime warranty, works with induction, and dishwasher safe. Would recommend 10/10.

I go with aluminum pans. They're not non-stick though.

Reply to Magnavox FM040 from 1961 still working with all original parts (speaker may need replacing soon though) by KittehKittehKat
If speaker replacement is because "it sounds different" then it's not the speaker; in fact, it's extremely unlikely to be a speaker issue unless someone poked it with a stick. Most likely it's the filter capacitor(s). Most of the original capacitors might still be fine if the radio has been in regular periodic operation, but the filter capacitors (usually a tall "aluminum can" near the tubes) take a bigger hit. When they go bad (and they will) then the radio will hum or buzz loudly or not work. If it sounds more like static or frying bacon then it's likely a resistor. r/audiorepair or r/VintageRadios can be of assistance.

Maybe it could use a cleaning. Take it apart and wipe the internals down with some vinegar and then water and let it dry.

You could look into Brunt. I've known a few friends who are tradesmen that have warn these boots, not that we really discussed their foot ware. Worth looking into.

Our Dyson Animal is a piece of shit. We got a Miele canister for free from a neighbor, and it’s a rock-solid beast.

JBL is dogshit compared to Philips, overpriced and barely gets through the warranty
