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
Would you mind sending me a link example so I can see wht it looks like? I think there might be new models which look like the older ones, which I do not want.
Ah you're right, it seems there's modern copycats. Try searching for an "Imperial Ten" Oster model 642. That's the other one I have, and it's an 860 watt blender, solid metal with a glass pitcher and weighs like 8lbs. It's probably not on par with the performance of a Vitamix, but it's also not $400+. For my uses though it has never disappointed, I usually use it for grinding frozen chunks of fruit or berries to make ice cream.
