1). Our 2nd cuisinart grind-n-brew died a few years ago and i was tasked to buy a new machine. We don’t do espresso or other frothy drinks and almost all the reviews pointed to the Technivorm Moccamaster as the best in class.
$300+ later we have a piece of Scandinavian art that also brews amazing coffee. My ever frugal wife was pissed initially, but has come around as we’re into our third flawless year of brewing and barely denting the warranty period. Unlike the hunk of craps before.
2) Dyson Animal vac. Simply a game changer. We burned out a Hoover, Bissel, etc. per year until I got smart and bought a Dyson. First one lasted almost 15 years and the current is barely broke in after 4
3) Jennair gas grill. Purchased in 2002 when we bought our house and is just now ready to be phased out of service. Thing is a tank. I will note that the jennair of today is not the same as it once was. But spending good money on a good grill, regardless of brand is superior to buying a new, shitty, charbroill every three years or so.
