I never thought Id be excited for a garbage can, but after going through multiple plastic cans and having the lid mechanism fail on cheaper metal cans, I broke down and got a more expensive one from Simple Human. I feel the quality everytime I use the step to toss something. It sounds so dumb, but I'm really blown away after years of crappy cans.

Aside from that, my python water changer for aquariums. That thing has been the goat for years at this point.

Swing-a-way can openers. They work better and smoother than any other can opener and it's not close. They also last for fucking ever. I had one from before I was born and kept for most of my life until it finally rusted out a couple of years ago. The original company went out of business, but after some research, I found the EZ-DUZ-IT can opener which is the exact same design and works exactly as well. I've had this one for a few years now and it's going strong, so I think I'm good for another 20+ years.

    Those can openers were my favorites until I found there are openers that don’t cut through the top but simply remove it. The one I have is from Oneida (I don’t think it’s made anymore). Once you use one it’s hard to go back to the cutting type.
