What was the name of this model?

He lied to you. Everything GE makes is garbage.

Owned a GE Dryer - needed new motor within first 12 months

Owned a GE Fridge - has needed one repair within first 24 months. The GE Tech came out and “repaired” it. We are 26 days from that date and I just scheduled our next repair (which happens to be for the original problem they “fixed” 26 days ago). Also, while they were doing the “repair,” water came pouring out of the fridge and ruined our hardwood floors. They are $8,900 to repair!

I wouldn’t put anymore GE appliances in my house even if they were free.

LC has some carbon steel sheet pans that are absolutely fantastic. We've been using them damn near every day for the last six or so years, no warping yet. Hand-wash and dry if you want to keep them from rusting where the edges curl, though - husband learned that one the hard way.

I’m a huge Kitchen enthusiast, and I cook almost all my meals at home:

• I use Japanese knives for most of my items, anything heavy cutting is done by Wustoff.
• Just got all my cookware replaced by stainless steel (AllClad), I picked individual pieces rather then a set.
• cast iron for soup, curries.
• I bake so, kitchenaid is a must.
• I use Ninja professional for my blender/ grinder
• I order individual handmade plates from Japan, although it doesn’t match, I love it! I have a matching set for when guests come over
• I have cuisinart air fryer
• I use the French oven liner
• I mostly use handmade (random markets/ travel) cooking utensils that I picked up along the way. I found OXO to have good other items, but they have huge cooking spoons/ turner
• I eat rice everyday, so Zojirushi is a must!
• Thermapen is must have for every kitchen!
• Peugeot Paris for salt/ pepper mill
• And other random items, I just pickup while traveling, if the quality looks good. I have a spoon rest from Italy, serving bowl from Turkey, etc. It’ll remind me of the travel as well as its something different to what you get in the US.

I make sure to avoid buying matching sets as much, it’s aesthetically pleasing, but I want my kitchen to have that differences. Cooking is a big part of my life, so its important that its my comfortable space.

I have a Lowe Alpine Contour Mountain 40 that I bought in '97, my first year of highschool. It lasted 4 years of highschool and 5 years of college. Still in good shape and use it to this day, although not as much as I used too. They made some great gear back then.

Moccamaster. Truly. It’s most like a pourover with the ease of a drip. I’ve had mine for 6 years now and it works like new. I’ve heard they’re very easy to repair if the time comes.

Lead Safe Mama showed that these pans test high for lead and cadmium. I used to swear by them but have since switched to cast iron with no coating.

I’ve had my sebagos for over 10 years. Still going strong.

Sure...just poisons all life here and now.

Just saying. Lesser of two evils isnt always straight forward

Still have my 2nd Lowe from 30 years ago, no flaws. My first one finally succumbed to its injuries from my friends and I using it to slide on concrete, but even then it still took all of junior high to destroy it, and it was their cheapest model.

I'm sad to hear they've gone downhill. I'm not sure what brand I'll buy next, but glad I won't have to worry about that for a couple decades.

Everything has its downsides; it uses tons of water as well. But it doesn't live in a landfill for eternity. If they had synthetics without the PFAS I'd probably go for that but I don't see any.

You know, having sat on your comment here for a couple of days, I'm going to walk back my statement that a sheet can't be BIFL. 20 years is a good long time. And since I've got some sheets of my own that have been in use that long, perhaps not so unusual. And, I suppose they WOULD fit under the group definition of BIFL, namely: "Products that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last an lifetime) are accepted.". Now, having walked that back, I've thought of something else. In a high thread count sheet, the threads are smaller, so are they then LESS durable? And I don't know the answer.

But I can google "life expectancy of sheets" as well as any other person! BTW, I'll bet you there is somebody who has researched this, but I don't know of it. One of the links I found (below), said it will depend more on the quality of the original cotton, but if all things are equal, a higher thread count should yield a higher lifespan. But that's a manufacturer's website, so, grain of salt? IDK. I saw a lot of sites saying a lifespan of 2-5 years was normal. Do a search yourself. You might be interested in some of the results, and it won't take you long to get through a couple.https://www.verolinens.com/how-long-do-bed-sheets-last/

Stealing the thread to ask. If Lewe Aplone and Jansport quality has gone down, what's a good backpack or backpack brand? My oldest kid is ready for a normal sized backpack.

What do the restaurants buy and use? That’s where I would look if I wanted to step up.

It also comes with a chicken handle.

I love the industrial design of this thing.

The (small) City Must Survive

That logic is similar to "all mushrooms are edible at least once" or "if you light a man on fire he'll be warn for the rest of his life"

The next counterpoint for staub is their Dutch ovens have a bit more surface area for browning. I chose staub, but I do wish I had a creamy enamel interior… but the price made it an easy decision. I also remember reading cooking reviews and staub performed slightly better.

Lol..u be u

Just remember, cotton is the single most pesticide heavy crop in the textile industry

Absolutely. I also have a LA bag that has been getting continuously used as a day pack and construction bag for the past few years, 17 years after my dad bought it to hike Kilimanjaro. Badass backpack for sure
