Reply to comment by [deleted] in Speed queen for $777. Should I drive 9-10 hours there and back to get it? by Aemon_Targaryen
These seem to pop up on this board. I see they normally run for ~1000/ea. So 2k for a set new

I got this one as a wedding gift over 20 years ago and it is still as good as new.

Submission statement: I would need to drive 10 hours round trip to buy this set of Speed Queen washer and dryer. The price is listed as $777.
What are your thoughts? Worth it?

BIFL you say?
The correct answer is Richmond Kettle Company. The kettle is copper, the handle is ebonised beech wood, and it whistles. An absolute work of art.

Burrow and Room and Board are in two different leagues as far as quality.
Get the Room and Board with Sumner fabric. My cat claws it every day and there isn’t a single pull in it. The Sumner fabric is meant to hold up against pets.

Can't go past a Ridgid shovel, they do a short handle version also. Most plumbers/contractors in Australia use these. Lifetime warranty also.

Makes sense. I imagine there’s a lot of incentive for them to cycle through stock and introduce new styles every season to keep people changing

Might take a peek at that Chemex, then. It’s a pretty choice design object, and suitable for gas and electric (electric if you use their little squiggle grid thing to keep it off the element.

You’d have to research particular companies but it’s in their interest if you have to buy a new couch

We had a Revere Ware stove top whistling kettle for 30+ years. I don't know if they still make them but you can probably find one in a thrift store. We finally stopped using it when we got an electric kettle with different temperature settings, but it was still working fine.

Reply to I already wear earmuffs to bed, neighbours in my apartment are so loud that they don't help. Need something stronger, any advice? by Verifiedvenuz
Look into custom in ear plugs. There are many levels of companies to do this. You can double up your current solution
Cheap and DIY: Decibullz or Radians
Next level up: Something like "Big ear inc" or alternative, I bet there is something for the UK
Maximum: Go to an audiologist (or ear doctor and ask for a referral) and get custom molded ear plugs and explain you want maximum sound reduction.
​
​
Or involve the authorities, your apartment complex / building you shouldn't have to live like that

High end: staub or le creuset. Low end: enameled camping kettle.

I have brought my Anker power bank to several anime conventions and concert festivals. It will not let you down.

Nah doesn’t need to whistle, just has to be a stove top.

My le creuset kettle whistles and I love it so much. I’ve had it 8 years now and it’s still amazing.

I adopted your approach in 1996. My Henckles 10" is still going strong.
