Aeropress coffee maker.

Its like 20$, works really well, very simple design with few things to break.

That metal toaster we got for a wedding present. It was apparently someone's parents wedding present from the 60's. We had it for several years until a friend jammed a bagel in it and melted the cord. I replaced the cord and we used it for another several years before losing it in a move.

I like to believe someone found it and it is still toasting to this day.

There is a Sub-Lem for that: https://slrpnk.net/c/buyitforlife

Bodum French Press

Dynavap DHV

Buffalo Bicycles

Vitamix Blender

Gotta be the KitchenAid mixers no? Especially the older ones. I have a friend that has one from his grandma that's over 50 years old. If anything breaks, it's usually a gear or something simple to fix, and the parts are easy to buy and generally cheap.

Akai 4000ds Reel to Reel tape player. So many are still working, built like a tank. They're super cheap on the used market.

Shure SM58/57

Pre-2010 Toyota Corolla

Concept2 rowing machines. Even if they break, you can still buy spare parts at reasonable rates even for the very first model, which is decades old and only sold a few copies. Fantastic engineering.

The EV 635A. Built. To. Last.

I swear to god - on a dare I used one as a hammer and it lost 0 range on the SA.

Toughest mic and best DR of it's 1965 class. Still a viable non-phantom , mono drum or ambient mic.

True believer!

MSI motherboards. I've seen one fail out of 1000+.

The Logitech x3d Xtreme or whatever the hell it's called. it's a $34 flight stick, best one you can get for cheap, and after having and abusing it for years it only had any issues after a rottweiler puppy chewed the cable. Would recommend.

Pre GM SAABs. I've personally gotten 2 of my 5 to over 1,000,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. Both manual transmission. A couple hundred of them have made it to 2,000,000 world wide. The lowest milage I killed a SAAB at was 789,000 miles. I hydroplaned into a semi on I-75, and the car still technically ran, but I gave it to my parents as a parts car. Just read the owners manual, and be absolutely religious about basic maintenance.

Oh, and the turbos don't like low octane fuel. It gums them up.

Japanese-made sewing machines from the 1950s. Most are all-metal and overbuilt, and will work like new with a few drops of oil, maybe a fresh belt. In the US they were imported and had local brand's names put on them; what you're really looking for is the "Made in Japan" on the back or bottom. Granny sewing machines also qualify, but most of the Japanese ones have zigzag

The wrt54g. They don't make wifi routers like they used to.

Knipex Tools

Honda Engines.

Cast iron skillets.

If you season and clean them the right way they will outlive you.

I'm using the same one that my parents owned for 30 years and hope I will get another 30 years of usage out of it.

A discontinued product from AKG called the K-330. The sound, even though nothing to get excited about, was decent, but the durability of these, in my opinion is legendary. When I was a teenager, I was not careful with them at all, and would often forget them in my sweatpants pockets before throwing them into the washing machine, and that happened hundreds of times and it's not an exaggeration. The cable was mostly tangle free, while everyone else had to untangle their earbuds (something that most modern earbud cables can't seem to do as well). These went through abuse more than any other device I've ever owned, and they kept working no matter what. Audio quality wise, they are overpriced in my opinion (I think the MSRP was $100, but because not many bought them, I got them on sale as a teen), but the durability is Nokia level in my opinion.

Classic Vitamix blender models. They just work. Long warranty. And even post warranty easily serviceable.

Game Boys are usually regarded as durable as hell. There's even one that withstood bombing during the Gulf War (1991)
