My wife and I just bought a very expensive range, to replace a very nice one that was probably twenty years or older. Every time they showed us something with a touchscreen or display I was like, "next". Imagine how stuff like that is going to age. With most home fixtures I have found the more basic and standard (although not necessarily the cheapest) the more likely they are to survive and be repairable. No fancy faucets please! I can measure water myself.
- rurp 3y agoYeah it's crazy how my process for evaluating expensive purchases (cars, appliances) has changed from looking for what I do want to mostly focusing on what I don't want. So many products have gotten bogged down with anti-features like touch screens, AI nonsense, or shitty phone apps. When I was car shopping a couple years ago I immediately disqualified at least half of the ones I looked at because of garbage features. Now I'm looking for a new fridge and that market hasn't gotten as bad yet, but it's already bad. I have no interest in a fridge that has a camera and a wifi connection, or needs an app to change the temperature.
