Obviously I like buying things once and for all, but I feel it’s extra difficult with anything electrical because I just don’t know that much about it personally, and I can’t exactly check the insides.

So lately I’ve been wanting to buy an upright vacuum. I don’t know if there are more durable brands, what kind of accessories I should consider to make my life easier, what budget I should consider, or what characterics are more likely to make it shorter lived than others.

    Level 0 is an extremely high bar when buying a new product in 2023.

    I mean, I agree with you, but holy hell is it difficult to find products that meet that criteria!

      oh I definitely agree that it has been harder and harder to find products that meet the absolute minimal amount of information required to repair and maintain.

      note, I didn’t even cover things like requiring specialized tools (which these days with BGAs and the wave solder requirements, limits repair to people with about $15K in capital tool costs)
