    Dyson... I hated that smug british guy (It took me 700 prototypes to get it right). Got tired of crappy vacuums, ended up with a $1200 Kirby. Built like a tank, but then brushes started getting noisy. Then a few strands of hair got caught up in the entry and because it spins so fast the hairs acted like a weed wacker and tore a hole in the hose. Fed up, I saw a Dyson canister vaccuum on woot.com for $299. Figured I'd give it a try, it works flawlessly, cleans well, easy to clean, built tough. So then I started seeing those fans on woot, the ones with the cooler / heater. Bought one for $199, again loved it so much bought a second (one for bedroom, one for living room). It's efficient, quiet, easy to clean (wipe the blade, blow out the intake holes of dust).

    Quoted from DarkTruth:

    My pillow. Life changer

    yea? I've been seeing ads for this. Never been happy with my pillow, I think it would alleviate some neck pain.

    Quoted from zombywoof:

    Stihl chainsaws

    Echo are good too, but I'm biased. The timberwolf CS-590 is a great bang for buck.

    Ninja coffee bar system:

    Have used a keurig for about the past 8 years (went through 3 of them). This last one still worked, but coffee always tasted crappy (even though we stopped using throw away pods and used the re-usable basket and our own grinds). Thought about buying the $200 OXO because it has infusion drip and highly rated. Then the Ninja commercial popped up which seemed to be the same thing, but also had a motorized frother that swings out on the left, and had adjustments for various blends. First morning using it and it's the first homebrew coffee I've had that didn't taste bitter.

    Quoted from Spock:

    Is only made in China now.

    still designed just west of milwaukee. There's one company in china that makes nearly every drill now so that's a moot point. It's not in the manufacturing, it's in the design. The M18 series are pretty durable, but if you overheat the battery it goes into a weird fault mode. I had to send a drill in once while drilling steel on high speed 2 setting

    I thought this was shark tank hype, but that thing scrubs great and lasts forever. The material isn't proprietary, you can buy knockoffs just like the magic eraser.

    Quoted from paragon66x:

    Toyota - die hard Chevrolet/GM fan here and switched to Toyota about 12 years ago. Change the motor oil and brakes and that's it.

    My current car is a scion, my last car was a corolla with 192k miles (biggest issue was misfires in a couple cylinders). Drove fine, but burned oil like crazy (no leaks). My only complaint about toyota is that they don't innovate (both in body style and interior features). My wife and her whole family are deep toyota fans, but last year she switched to a mazda CX5. For less money than equivalent RAV4 money, she got better styling and luxury, and fuel efficiency with more oomph (still built in japan). When I'm ready for my next car it'll likely be a honda fit. It's amazing that thing can haul a pin and still close the hatch.
