When I noticed how excited I get about good quality appliances.
IMO fuck everyone who doesn't care about good quality appliances. They are to blame for how common shitty ones are these days. Especially developers who just get something that looks nice but actually sucks when you use it.
Glares at oven that takes forever to preheat, doesn't keep the temperature even once it does, and has a drawer oven that takes even longer to preheat than the shitty main oven takes to preheat and COOK things
I sell appliances and the number of times I hear “It’s for a rental”, as a reason to get the cheapest thing, is depressing.
As someone that is on the marketing side of individuals renting condos for vacations, the ones that buy the quality stuff, are able to get more revenue per booking, and a better retention. It not only applies to the kitchen, but to things you wouldn't expect, like sheets, towels, and toilet paper. Go cheap on any of those, and you'll read about it in a 2 star review.
Hey thanks that’s actually a good point.
I’ve been quite poor my whole life. For me simply having the appliance, in my own apartment, is amazing. One year I lived in a little place with a little washer and dryer in the closet. It was incredible. The washer didn’t drain right, and the dryer would go for hours without drying the clothes, but it was still amazing because it was the first time ever I’d had a washer and dryer of my own that I didn’t have to go outside to use.
I was at a cocktail party a couple of weeks ago, and had an engaging conversation with 4 other dads about our choices and regrets in kitchen appliances....and lawnmowers.
