Products That Have Served You Well Over the Years - GoFuckYourself.com

We're always bitching about products that suck and don't do the job.

Name some products that you've had over the years that served you well and were worth the money you paid.

I'll go first...

An Olympus e10 DSLR - our first digital SLR cam (now 10yrs old and still working)

A Sony V5 8MM camcorder - bought it new in the late 80s (shot thousands of hours with it for more than a decade - never needed servicing)

A 15" Toshiba Satellite laptop - still working great after 7 years of constant use (now relegated to a backup system)

I've had a Sony Trinitron for over 20 years and it still works perfectly. That includes a couple years when it was in my garage and I would forget to turn it off for weeks at a time. If I went out right now it would fire right up.

That reminds me of a 28" Zenith console I had for over 20 years. Same deal...never had issues with it. It still worked when we put it out to the curb about 2yrs. ago.

I had one of those last around 12 years. The problem with the old trinitrons is that once you see the two horizontal lines at 1/3rd and 2/3rds down the screen ONCE, you will see them forever...

Koss PortaPro headphones. 80's technology, 80's design, looking fragile, but overall damn solid.

It's only been a couple of years, but my Keurig Platinum serves me pretty much every single day with perfect cups of coffee
