I am always annoyed by how hard I have to work to buy things that last/won’t need replacing because they break

- LanceH 3y agoI'm going to hop in here and add that it's hard to find things that work, as well. Like right now I'm looking for a carpet cleaner that works as well as a professional model (or the professional model). Consumer models just seem flawed. In particular, even when they are meant to vacuum wet things, they internal that end up wet aren't cleanable. So I end up with internal mold and the suggestion that I clean it out with a wire. Disassembly instructions are multiple pages long, and still present the problem of cleaning curved plastic pipes. I just to buy the same thing I can hire someone to use that will clean up after 3 dogs, and can itself be cleaned.
- bo1024 3y agoGreat point, and I feel the same thing happens with software. Consumer products are stuffed with hostile attention-stealing software, telemetry, overcomplicated, ads, etc. Professional stuff is actually designed to work. (e.g. TVs, printers)
