- iammisc 5y agoI bought the cheapest microwave i could possibly find on Amazon, and it's lasted way more than a year. I sometimes wonder what people do with their stuff that it lasts so little time.

- tuatoru 5y agoYou can never tell what will last, though. 15 years ago I bought a cheap microwave (not the cheapest, but the second cheapest IIRC). I probably use it about 15 times a week. The plastic film over the buttons is flaking off, but it still works just as well as it ever did. I have bought "name brand" appliances that have failed in months.
- nicbou 5y agoI accumulate these items because they just won't die. They tend to have one thing in common: they are simple, practical and versatile. A good example is every last minute purchase I made at decathlon. Every time I buy something there just for this one trip, I end up wearing it every day for years. They're practical clothes that suit every activity. Same with my Bluetooth speaker and my mini projector. They do a single job well, and interface with other things that do a single job well. I basically try to buy into the hardware equivalent of the unix philosophy.
