The reverse of a question I asked on here a while ago.
My bamboo back scratcher.
Had one of these for years. Would never be without one. Tried a collapsible metal one, cut my back and bled on the sheet. Threw it away and back to bamboo.
Fender Telecaster
Similarly, Fender Precision Bass. Hard to go wrong with a classic.
Miele washing machine. Doing my laundry since 2001 and still as good as new.

Believe it or not, Oxyclean. That stuff works wonders. RIP Billy Mays.
Those magic erasers turned out to be pretty effective, too.
The reason they work so well is because they’re basically sandpaper. You are removing your countertop finish when you use them.
that release microplastics with each use!
If people wanna save money they can use Melamine sponges! Exact same thing, give or take a few small proprietary cleaning agents or scents. But effectively the same
While I have observed this to be true, I find it surprising. Melamine is also the material from which the backing of IKEA bookshelves is made. Of course one material can be formulated in many different ways, but still … That was a revelation.
Fuckin love ikea
Melamine works great, just be careful. It’s an abrasive and can wreck some surfaces.

Lol, how high are you?
Bought a Eufy g30 robot vacuum because it advertised that it could climb over thresholds and it does! The accessories are cheap too, especially if you buy knockoffs. Bought it in 2021 and still going strong, no complaints after almost daily use in a home with a cat and a small child.
Plot twist: What’s an advertised claim that lived up to its product?
Litter Robot
Had it for over 5 years, LitterRobot 3. Get the extras (ramp, the plastic cap piece that keeps more litter in).
Never had a problem with mine. Canmt speak to the 4 but I feel like it wouldn’t be worse
Its all good, dont listen to the naysayers. Its a beautiful thing
Mr Clean magic bathroom erasers. Holy shit. They literally melted the soap scum from my bathtub when every other tile cleaner did next to nothing. I was completely blown away.
This 100%. Here’s a life pro tip: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is the trademarked brand. The generic product (which is exactly the same thing) is “melamine sponge”.
Depending on where you live, the Magic Eraser is an 4-5X more expensive than the equivalent generic on Amazon or eBay.
I bought like 300 off Amazon 10 years ago for something like 30 bucks. They arrived in a large (like 55 gallon) black garbage bag. We still haven’t used them to this day.
Edit: I had to go look, looks like I wasn’t quite right, was 100 for 11 bucks, and was only in 2017.

This was a very pro tip
Dude, foaming oven cleaner is similar. If you have a jacked up oven, get the foaming stuff and you’ll have a nearly brand new oven.
edit: oops, misread the parent post as the scrubbing bubble cleaner. going thru a colonoscopy prep, so im all funky. the foaming oven cleaner is good af tho. also, get melamine sponges. theyre the same thing as the magic sponges but much more cost efficient.

Good luck with your colonoscopy. The prep is fucking miserable, but it’s definitely worth it in the end.
(Don’t use foaming oven cleaner for that.)
Thanks! Everything went smoothly. I must’ve been funny under anesthesia because the nurses were looking at me funny when I came back to reality. I hope I didn’t embarrass myself 😬
I feel like no matter what happened, the chances are pretty low you’ll ever be the weirdest thing a bunch of professional butthole-looking specialists have ever experienced on the job.
Congrats on being done with it!
any they work incredibly well at putting micro plastics in the environment too!
Instant pot. I mostly use it for batch cooking, making homemade stocks and rice now. But, I used to make yoghurt in it weekly and proof dough in it every 3 days or so.
It advertised a bunch of functions and it only sucks at slow cooking, but pressure cooking is faster and better imo, it does suck at slow cooking though.
I have a different brand of multicooker, and it’s excellent. The “boil” function goes down as low as 40C so I use it to sous vide things fairly often
up to its* advertised claims
Its gonna be OK. Its not really that important.
Actually, OP is referring to Samuel It’s, a famous product reviewer who makes many claims.
There was a mobile game app that claimed that it actually is the game it is claiming to be(one of the generic mobile ad games)
It actually was the game it was claiming to be*
*every several levels of a different game, the promoted game was just a minigame
i have a mammut backpack from 2007. i love that thing. 25 liters snowboard model, indestructible.
Darn tough socks, lamy pens, Ibanez guitars, and crumpler bags have all been very solid quality products I consider well worth the value.
Have an Al-Star and a Safari with two of my favorite inks close at hand nearly always. Can’t remember the last time I so much as thought about cleaning either, even the one with a shimmer in it. I just keep refilling them, and they just keep working.
Dirt cheap, given the quality, too, IMHO. They could charge twice what they do for the lower end of their products, and there would still be value there.
I have a Lamy pen and it’s wonderful. I put a more fine nib on it and it writes beautifully, despite me being a lefty. I know you can get a lefty nib for them, but can’t really justify buying one and they only come in medium width.
i had like 10 of them since childhod, goddamn loved them. loved the colors and how smooth they were.
