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?

    The suffix “gaming” implies bright colors, low quality, and a higher price tag. It’s right next to “premium” for identifying garbage products.

    Also, I’ve had so many cheap chairs in my life that just failed. The “leather” peels, the gas lift breaks, or the seat cushion wears out and causes pain and discomfort.

    That said, you can buy new gas lifts to fix a sinking chair very cheap and buy additional cushions to reduce pressure. If you can’t afford a good chair, don’t keep buying new bad ones!

      Yeah, personally I find that everyone can afford luxury if they are clever enough. So either finding a used one cheap, fixing an old one for cheap or modifying another one. It’s what I’ve done for all of my knives and tools and they work like a charm without the price tag.
