    Not only that, but you can’t even use price as a proxy for quality anymore. Choosing to splash out on something you want to last just means you’re going to be more disappointed when it inevitably breaks.

      This is what got me. I started a really well paying job so me and the wife decided to splurge on some better, name brand appliances. I’ve replaced every single one in less than 5 years. Fuck GE, fuck LG, and definitely fuck Samsung.

        But you got all those sweet touchscreens and stuff right?

        I wonder if there are good brands still. Bosch? Miele?

          They’re not the prettiest thing in the world, but buying commercial restaurant equipment would be the way to go.

          Currently planning a remodel around that kind of stuff.

          Freezers that are meant to be open and shut 40 times a day with a 1 degree temperature differential inside.

          Fridges that are meant to safely chill food from hot through the danger zone to cold all day every day.

          Ranges and ovens that are designed to be on 12-16 hours a day. For months to years on end.

          Stuff like that.
