Have Vorwerk Kobolt, My aunt bought it new. It’s cost was like a small car. But it works like a dream.Everything is easy to change and parts are plenty on eBay. Will never change it for anything else.
They are almost unheard of and unsupported here in Sweden. EBay is keeping mine alive and with bags.

Reply to New(ish) Fiskar harware is rusting by crespoh69
Of you know some basic knowledge about metal, you should know even stainless can rust. It happens when two stainless material touches each other. Like in the joint with the screw, or laying on a countertop made out of stainless steel.
It’s the mixture in the steel that determines how fast it happens. But it will always happen.

Change the whole cable or replace that plugg with one that’s meant to replace it. Or gett a really good home insurance where they don’t look for electrical fires.

Never had any reason to try their lifetime mending, their stuff just holds up. I have lots of vintage fjällräven stuff that I thrifter, and also got from grandparents. Super quality stuff and have never had a reason to use it

Isn’t that just matrix trench coats?
Like latex or “very-shiny-material-that’s-not leather-but-are-made-to-trick-you-in-to-think-it-is-leather” -trench coats?

My experience with a good expensive, more money better quality thinking. Is that they suck, it takes a whole day to do one machine if you use the dryer function combo. Also cleaning the lint filter, yeah forget about that after 3 years using it, we had to get a guy from that brand to come out and empty a place where all lint that had been trapped for years.
My advice is no, it not worth it. Just hang dry your clothes.
Brings me back to when people bought VHS combo with tv built in. Everybody always had to start using a external vhs player after a couple of years because they broke and 50% time it affected the whole tv so it was garbage.

Yeah, and for once, I have proof it’s a buy it for life jacket. I wore my grandfathers greenland for years in my late teenage years. My grandfather bought it new in the 70th, then my father had it many years in the early 90th when me and my sibling was growing up, then in the middle of 2000 I wore it everyday for maybe 6-7 years.
I still have it somewhere in a closet. To bad I have accumulated more mass then them, but jt outlived them both.

Reply to comment by RedNotebook31 in Oven or grill mitts? by kettleofhawks
Last oven mitt I used, was the one I made when I was 9 years in “sewing” class, that everyone in Sweden have to do as kids (also wood work shop). They didn’t make 25 years, but still good enough for someone who just took “sawing machine-driver licens”
Now I use same method as you, works perfect!

First car was a blue Jetta mk1, 23k km. store in garage whole life, no rust. This was 2006 so just in the early beginning of stretched tyres and slammed with coils. So bought it for €300, part was crazy cheap, bough BBS RM for a case of beer and new lips was almost impossible to find back then. sold it 5 years later for €4000.

Reply to Recommendations For Bicycle Helmets by Nickodyn
https://hovding.com/
A ”airbag” like helmet that aren’t that uncommon on street in Stockholm.. don’t fuck with your hair and seems to be 8 times better according to their website then traditional helmets.
But helmet like most safety equipment have a lifespan of a few years.
