I know people love to hate them, but my KitchenAid has served me well, for almost a decade now. BUT I did opt for one of the ones that was marketed as professional grade (who knows) and I expected it would break within it's warranty period so I bought it at Costco to facilitate an easy return.

There’s a lot of factors into this. Are looking at free standing/slide in? How large of an oven capacity do you want/need? Do you prefer a double oven? Is a convection oven a requirement? How about controls: front facing or faces down? How many burners do you need? Is color/finish a factor? Whatever the case, LP/natural gas ranges don’t have much complexity, compared to electric or induction. I personally would look at Bosch or Miele. For something cheaper, I’ve had luck with Frigidaire. Consider looking at your range hood as well - most over the range hoods don’t have the proper coverage area, especially over the range microwave hoods. Good luck.

Outperforms a non-Hobart KitchenAid hands down. It’s not as aesthetically pleasing, but it’s a solid workhorse and handles everything I throw at it

Bought a pair of Muck boots. The uppers were just fine and survived an incident with an axe with minor damage. However, the ridges wore off the bottom. I fell hard on concrete because they had no grip. Bought Bog boots this time around. Haven't worn them enough to judge yet.

A bit late but I just measured the extra filters I have and they are indeed 96mm on the outside, they also have a 6mm hole in the center

I have one, and it's unstoppable when using the metal bowl and the dough hook. But the setup for beating/whipping uses that flimsy plastic bowl and the beaters run on plastic gears. I slightly damaged the teeth when I tried to cream butter that was a little too hard.

Can confirm. My dogs have been wearing the same lupine collars and leashes for 9 or 10 years. They are very faded and work perfectly.

Edit: formatting - damn phones!

My aunt has used three pairs of mucks her entire (70) life. She replaced one of them because barb wire ruined em.

They’re nice while they last, very warm and comfortable but unfortunately like a lot of others comments are saying mine barely made it a year before they started splitting/cracking.. I’m sure I could patch it up with something and get another couple of months out of them but the durability really is a let down.

Can't think of a better way to simulate a lifetime of wear in one summer than inundation with caustic and corrosive materials lol

Well, this Kieznle quartz alarm clock has been waking me up since I first went to college (forty years ago) - https://i.imgur.com/G7vOKaW.jpg

Just went through my first winter in Montana in muck boots. I have the arctic sport boots and they are great. My brother has a pair of Dry Shod boots he loves as well.

Ditto. Wife has the 8qt commercial deal for her cake business. It gets a lot of hours and handles it with ease.

I had an LG with a dual oven and "true convection". The burner flames were too wide for many of my smaller pots and pans. The broiler took forever to kick on and the mini ovens were too small for most tasks.

Who's life are we talking about?

I've had mine for 5 years of fairly frequent use.

She has a lot of character.

This is the key. The insulation comes from the air that is intentionally trapped between the two layers of metal.

After burning out two regular KitchenAid stand mixers we bought an 8 quart commercial grade KitchenAid stand mixer. We’ve had it since 2017 and haven’t had any problems with it so far other than the attachment cover falling off. We run our mixers hard and overworked the first two.

Yup can confirm. I wear my arctic sports hiking in the winter and fishing in the summer.

I don't think it's unethical to clearly let the consumer decide if they want to use an amount of water to wash their clothes. I love my Speed Queen cause it doesn't break under heavy use and non careful family members, and can run every day. Oh and it cleans clothes fast. All good in my book. But I don't pay anything for my well water but the electricity to run the pump. And we get too much water as it is here.

Edit: and idk if you buy extremely delicate clothes or my whole family buys especially robust clothes, but it doesn't wear them out any faster than previous Kenmore or GE brand top loaders we had.
