A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
What professionals use is generally the answer for any tool and repeated use item. If professionals use it then is generally reliable because otherwise it wouldn't be cost effective to purchase and use. Kitchen equipment, painting, and power tools failing loses money on top of the cost to replace, so reliability is very important.
Frequently the commercial stuff is less complex because they aren't adding stuff to draw in the general public and not even a lot more expensive either since using more robust components only slightly increases the costs to manufacture.
Plus it's gonna look cool as shit on your counter, most likely, compared to whatever EZ Bake+ plastic shit Target is peddling.
From what I'm aware professional kitchens use Vitamix products for the most part.
That's what I've seen at Starbucks, Jamba Juice, etc.
Unfortunately their blenders are probably the most expensive you'll find anywhere.
Take a look in the kitchen in places that don't need to show off their equipment. The places you name want to show off the shiny expensive equipment and so cheap quality is a negative for them.
