Welcome back. Nowadays, we're constantly misled by brand advertising. How do you know who to trust? Well, over at
r/AskReddit, they're talking about the best brands money can buy. Here are some of the best that they're saying are totally worth your money!
1
Dawn dishwashing liquid. I haven't found anything else that works as well. -u/retailguy_again
2
Redwing work boots. I only buy their upper-level boots and have never regretted the purchase. I started with other brands and once I hit Redwings I was done. -u/Caspers_Shadow
3
Pyrex glass cookware and food storage containers. I've had cheaper things crack on me, lids break. But Pyrex lasts forever. -u/chefjenga
4
Kerrygold salted butter. -u/chimpdoctor
5
I'm a chef. Kitchen knives, you never cheap out on. I suggest Wusthof. Or Shun. Buy a good knife once and you'll be giving it to your kids one day. -u/iamaneviltaco
6
Pilot G2 Pens. -u/uninc4life2010
7
In all honesty, tupperware. My mom has some tupperware containers that are almost as old as me and they are still in good condition. It's rare that I can find plastic containers that are even close in quality and durability. -u/Slish753
8
I got a Bosch set for my washer/dryer and so far they’ve outlasted 3 sets of my father-in-law’s LGs, Samsungs, and another one I don’t remember. People complain appliances don’t last as long as they used to, and while I don’t disagree, it’s often because they buy the cheap models. -u/eclips1st
9
Q-tips. I don't know what all the other brands and generics are doing, but I swear their cotton to stick ratio is always off. Too pokey or too soft. Can't be just me... -u/derekwilliamson
10
Darn Tough Vermont Wool socks. Every day, trust me. -u/Atro_Demerzel
11
Shimano Ultegra bicycle components. Works smoothly. Reliable. Can't complain. -u/Hermiones_Butthole
12
I always pay the little extra for a Bic lighter over the cheap transparent ones. They rarely break and they're more ergonomic. -u/readaugkx
13
Corelle ware. That sh*t is damn near indestructible and bonus it’s been around for forever so you often find it super cheap at thrift shops. -u/yaoiphobic
14
3M Post-It Notes. Making an adhesive strong enough to stop the notes curling up at the edge and falling off, but weak enough that you can remove and replace them at will, seems to be outside the skill set of every other company. -u/emefluence
15
Fiskars stuff: axes, shovels, hammers, but also scissors. -u/sebaska
16
KitchenAid stand mixer. I’ve had mine for over 10 years now, use it at least once a week and takes a beating during Christmas time and it still works like a charm. -u/ochlee
17
Miele is usually the best in class for anything they make, usually at least twice as expensive though. Worth it if you can afford it! -u/Lthomasa1993
18
Stanley stainless steel vacuum/thermos bottles. I have one that holds a 12-cup pot of coffee that I bought at a neighbor’s estate sale 30 years ago and it was probably 20 years old then. It still works exactly as promised. -u/sopsychcase
19
Faber Castell colored pencils are some of the best out there. -u/scottbob3
20
Herman-miller. My chair from them saved my back over quarantine. -u/cash_masheen
21
As a lefty, Zebra F-402 pens. Fine point, no smear, no pressing hard to get a clean line. Since I discovered them I can’t go back to other ball point pens. -u/jalopycat
22
Crayola. Rose Art crayons have haunted me since I was a child! Till the day I pass. -u/TheJechtShot
23
Ticonderoga pencils. I’ll write a whole 10 page essay by hand with one of those babies. -u/EatAssForTheHallPass
24
Any paints. House paint, car, boat, trains and planes. Usually the higher the cost, the better the paint. Love Sherwin Williams “Emerald” products as house paint. -u/TooRational101
25
Zojirushi rice cooker -u/ScrubbleDubble
