Reply to comment by aciscouser in I realize it can never really be BIFL, but does anyone have a good recommendation for a dishwasher? by chasonreddit
I do not know. I did not see any. After all of the good advice on this ended up with a high end LG that does have one. It was marked down $250 plus free install, so went for it.

My grandparents had one on their boat that they lived aboard. Plus, my grandpa retired from G.E. in the 90s. I love seeing this stuff.

We had one of these growing up. It took a shit in the early 90s.

Well, all it really took was replacing internal metal components with cheap plastic or rubber ones that get destroyed by heat after a time. Not so much planned obsolescence as “it’s cheaper now, we don’t care.”

These things can eat up an entire pencil in 30 seconds. I was once punished for doing just that.

8 cups wouldn’t cut it in my house. Every time we see a 14 cup we grab it because they’re rare.

So what's a good example of companies not doing so, say for laptops.

Nice. But curious about the tilted saddle. Is it more comfortable riding with it tilted up like that?

I’ve had the same mr coffee since 2008 and it was old then. Works great. Meanwhile the keurig at work isn’t working well and already got replaced after a few years.

People do actually do this but it's a lot more complicated because you don't need just distilled water, you then have to add the right minerals back in.

My parents had this, we used it up until recently when the glass carafe broke (cracked). Lasted 30+ years, was not an everyday use thing as my parents were not big coffee drinkers, but anytime there was company over, it was used.

Reply to BIFL Amazon recommendations! by ChikkuAndT
They sell millions of items, some of them from brands this sub likes like All Clad and others. They also sell lots and lots of trash.
Amazon is just a way to buy stuff. You discover the stuff you want to buy elsewhere and if Amazon happens to sell it for a good price you buy it there.
