> Toyota Highlander that has been wrecked 3 seperate times in the last 6 months

Erm… can accident every 2 months is absurd. Maybe you shouldn’t be so blasé about wrecking cars, haha.

🗿

Another one like me! Absolutely. I’m raw dog for life, for the exact same reasons as you. So much effort and research goes into designing phones, throwing a shitty plastic case on it is absurd.

I’ve never broken a phone, but if I do, my insurance excess is less than the cost of a case anyway.

No such thing as a free VPN. You just pay with your data.

It’s just the typical Reddit echo-chamber of people preaching them on subs like r/BuyItForLife because their uncles best friend once found a snap-on spanner in the woods, so they now of course have a full knowledge of their catalogue.

The Dyson is indeed the king of the category, I own a Dyson V15 Detect and it is great. However, bare in mind the category has a pretty low peak. Warranties are short, repairability is flaky, batteries always fail, and even at the peak build quality isn’t there.

For reference, I also own a Sebo X7 which is a considerably better machine. However, it’s heavy, awkward, and a bit of a chore to use. Since getting the Dyson, I am vacuuming much more which says a lot about the advantages. Honestly, from now on I will probably just buy the best cordless Dyson available (within reason) and use it until it breaks and hope a better BIFL solution comes out in the meantime.
