Reply to Zojirushi SM-KHE48. Used daily for 6 years. Retains heat better than a Yeti, fewer $$$. by home_cheese
The Yeti’s are good cups if they work for you, they are one of the more robust options but they are not top tier for thermal performance. Check out the Project Farm test on it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a6j1NJkNzwI

Idk, I’d rather replace a plastic gear than a whole gearbox or motor

I have the NOCO Boost+. I love it. If that's the kind you're talking about. Currently on Black Friday sale at Amazon.

Best thermos ever. Keeps my coffee hot for hours. I own two.

Found one at work that had been abandoned for months. Gave it a very thorough cleaning and use it weekly for years now. Still looks brand new.

The only used furniture store I know of which sold them closed down a few years ago.
Also, there are three sizes of chair, so make sure it will fit you.

I got one of these two years ago. They’re fantastic. I make coffee, leave the lid off for 10 mins and when it’s at the right temperature screw the lid on. It stays that hot for a ridiculously long time.

Do you mean for America or in general? In Canada, it is a regulated profession requiring several years of post-secondary education and a license to practice

Personally, I think that older Whirlpool models are essentially the same as the Hobart models, I've taken both apart and (at least for this style) they are made the same way

I love my Zoji! I do however find myself pouring my coffee in a cup as it retains heat for hours!

Swapping out grease is important once mixers get old, the original grease is clay-based and it eventually separates. Oil drips out of the machine and the gear case is left with big masses of clay.
It's also not a very good idea to never change your transmission fluid

I haven’t owned any but as far as I can tell all of the quality PNW boot makers are on par. But Whites are maybe the most expensive.

Stupid question, but where did you find the BF deal for patagonia? Doesn't seem to be there on their website. I visited a store on BF and there was a sign that everything in the store has 20% off EXCEPT Patagonia that has no discount. I assumed it was because Patagonia was anti consumerism and didn't want to take part in BF
​
I ask because I'm looking to get that Patagonia Glacier Parka myself!

It’s true. The Zoji retains heat so well it can be dangerous to drink straight from it but I prefer to pour into a cup from my thermos anyhow and for that purpose it is great.

Reply to Chi hair straightening iron by TakeMe2HND
I had one for a few years and it worked amazingly well. Unfortunately it was stolen about 14 years ago. I bet that thing would still be working today. I got another chi straightener as a replacement and the quality felt very different. The ceramic wasn’t as smooth, the plastic was shiny instead of the nice, matte finish, and the ceramic plates didn’t spring back as smoothly during use. It still works (I assume) but I never really straighten my hair anymore.

I love my Zojorushi for tea. I make 2 and drink it periodically up to 24h later. They're the best! (Mine might be slightly different model but same closure).

I'm impressed. When you say burned through though, how? What was the failure mode?

I’ve had my 10mah anker pack since I purchased my Nintendo Switch in 2018… it’s still a beast and I take it everywhere.
