I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

A good office chair (not necessarily one of those expensive as fuck mesh ones - I hate those… But something quality).

Man, I get they're not for everyone, but after having a mesh chair, I will never go back. Currently on my second one in about 8 years, so it's not exactly BIFL material but the first one lasted longer than a 'normal' chair ever did, and neither were particularly expensive, as quality chairs go (I paid ~$150 for the first and ~$225 for the second, got both during sales, so I'm not sure what the regular price would have been but I'd guess $300 or so).

    It's absolutely a choice of personal preference - I just wanted to be clear that the super trendy silicon-valley office chair company from a few years back isn't necessarily best for everyone.

    Mesh chairs can be extremely comfortable if you run hot.

    I agree that it's possible to not like the style of a Herman Miller Aeron chair, or to not find it comfortable (if it's the wrong size or not adjusted correctly), but you can't deny that they're incredibly durable (especially for mesh!). I've been sitting in mine daily for over a decade, and the mesh is still as tight and un-torn as it was the day I bought it -- and it had probably spent years in a trendy dot-com company office before that!
