Basically every Valve product and software.
OG steam machines were the shit, but way ahead of their time. If it had come out with proton already, then it would have dominated. But it’s wonderful that the UX had laid ground work for the steam deck

Head-On CAN be appied directly to the forehead! Which was it's only claim.
One of the only brands I would ever promote, Darn Tough socks.
Wear em out, ship them back, order a free pair. It's that easy and they are the most comfortable, durable socks I have ever worn. Won't ever buy another brand.
I've worn mine long and hard and haven't gotten to test out the warranty yet, the first pair I bought is probably closing in on a decade and nearly indistinguishable from pairs that are several years newer. Even if they don't honor their warranty for some reason I feel like I've gotten my money's worth and then some.

Timex: Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
I licked my watch when I was a kid and it kept on ticking.
Wood glue, no particular brand recommendations, is one of the pew products I trust to do exactly what it claims to - glue wood.

I think zippo lighters say they’re wind proof. I did enough professional testing a month ago to confirm this. My neighbors can also confirm there was a man in my lawn with a lighter violently whipping it around in his hand until said man was winded.
Sadly i am not made of zippos.
I fixed my hot tub with Flex Tape. It seems to be doing the job.

My mom bought my backpack 25 years ago and the clerk told her "they'll last for at least five years".
Well I still use mine daily, so yeah. Definitely lived up to expectations. Although I've did get it fixed, but first time just a year or two ago. So lasted without any fixing for longer than the average age on Lemmy, I'd say.

Believe it or not, Oxyclean. That stuff works wonders. RIP Billy Mays.
Those magic erasers turned out to be pretty effective, too.
If people wanna save money they can use Melamine sponges! Exact same thing, give or take a few small proprietary cleaning agents or scents. But effectively the same
While I have observed this to be true, I find it surprising. Melamine is also the material from which the backing of IKEA bookshelves is made. Of course one material can be formulated in many different ways, but still ... That was a revelation.

The reason they work so well is because they're basically sandpaper. You are removing your countertop finish when you use them.

Miele washing machine. Doing my laundry since 2001 and still as good as new.
Mr Clean magic bathroom erasers. Holy shit. They literally melted the soap scum from my bathtub when every other tile cleaner did next to nothing. I was completely blown away.
This 100%. Here's a life pro tip: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser is the trademarked brand. The generic product (which is exactly the same thing) is "melamine sponge".
Depending on where you live, the Magic Eraser is an 4-5X more expensive than the equivalent generic on Amazon or eBay.

any they work incredibly well at putting micro plastics in the environment too!
Dude, foaming oven cleaner is similar. If you have a jacked up oven, get the foaming stuff and you'll have a nearly brand new oven.
edit: oops, misread the parent post as the scrubbing bubble cleaner. going thru a colonoscopy prep, so im all funky. the foaming oven cleaner is good af tho. also, get melamine sponges. theyre the same thing as the magic sponges but much more cost efficient.
Good luck with your colonoscopy. The prep is fucking miserable, but it's definitely worth it in the end.
(Don't use foaming oven cleaner for that.)

PSA to carefully read and follow all usage directions on any oven cleaner product. Some of that stuff can destroy your lungs (and more) if not used properly.
Instant Pot
Darn tough socks, lamy pens, Ibanez guitars, and crumpler bags have all been very solid quality products I consider well worth the value.

PIA wiper blades are pretty amazing. They've lasted me close to 6 years now I think. Way more price efficient than regular wipers.

Twix. They said "chew it over with Twix" as a joke, but I suck at socializing so it's a lifesaver when people know I need extra time to say something or think of something to say.
Those weird brushes that remove pet hair from carpets
Bought a Eufy g30 robot vacuum because it advertised that it could climb over thresholds and it does! The accessories are cheap too, especially if you buy knockoffs. Bought it in 2021 and still going strong, no complaints after almost daily use in a home with a cat and a small child.
I was given a small food processor and a small bullet blender a decade ago and I still use them monthly.
I have a full size brevelle food processor that gets less use.
This thing is way more expensive than it seems like it should be for what it is, but if you've got a yard full of burrs it's worth the $270 to clear it up and reduce general misery at home.
