“What Brand Name Is Actually 100% Worth Spending More For?” (45 Answers)

Yes.

I had a pyrex shatter in the oven, 3 years later I still occasionally find little pebbles of glass!

Yep...for dishes, for grease spots on clothing, and for some reason it kills fleas on animals almost instantly without any harsh chemical odors or poisons. Great for kittens too young for flea dips.

Used to feel the same about Rubbermaid, but unfortunately it's not what it used to be... :(

Did the roadrunner write this one?

The 64 pack is the truest flex.

All the other brands are low-quality nothingness

Yes, Fiskars is the ONLY pair of scissors I will buy.

A mechanic with half a brain can make one run past 300k!

People that have older ones, passed down from parents/grandparents etc, yours ran so nicely for so long because of the all steel motor. Almost all of the models now have some plastic which burn out more quickly. As a professional baker who operates out of a licensed home kitchen, I've killed two motors in 8 years lol. This Christmas I'm finally paying for the pro line that has an all steel motor.

Ugh the off brand the stick always bends too like it's made with a cooked noodle

I think I recall reading somewhere that the Post-it’s were created from a mistake with a different invention. The glue not strong enough for the original purpose or something?

Do they make double-barrel slingshots in 38GG? I'm weirdly shaped too.

I tried to make cheesecake (the soft cold type) at home a few times. I tried store brand cheese and Philadelphia and the taste difference was staggering

Broke one the other day and couldn’t believe it. Was like some sort universe glitch.

Lurpak! Getting ridiculously expensive but sooo good!

That's practically a commercial right there. Unless for some reason the Yeti cup caused the fire, that would be less cool. But hilarious.

IKEA bags. Nothing beats them. Nothing.

I'm a cheapskate like my grandma but I pay the price for good quality when warranted.. I like cheaper Costco and Walmart paper towels just fine. They clean messes. Cheap is good.

The BiC lighters have gone through the wash, fallen out of pockets and the are still going strong.

what do you mean *a* lifetime!? if looked after they will last generations!

Dell laptops are extremely well made too

Try and find a broken Dell Latitude or IBM T-series. There's some REALLY bad macbooks out there, even apple admits that. I am typing this on a macbook with a mac mini in front of me, an apple watch around my wrist, iphone in my pocket, another mac mini on my workbench and there's an iPad over there, but Apple is not a brand you can buy for the brand. Also they are consistently bad at some stuff. Like making good sounding mp3 players, or powerbanks that actually make sense. It's not a 'totally good' brand, at all.

100% Agree! Same, was going through laptops every two years, and my MacBooks lasted ten years!

Have a HP Pavilion still running over 10 years now.

Bought my MacBook Pro in 2012. I changed the hard drive to an SSD, and upgraded its RAM to the max it allowed and it works like new.

My air is 7 and still going strong. I've had Dell and Toshiba in the past but they have never lasted more than 3 years. I buy the ones with the highest spec, so they last longer, performance wise, even if it cost more. I use it for study, gaming, work and internet.

Apple computers aren't supported for that long so yea, they will work but you wont be able to update any software and eventually websites won't load properly but I can confirm the hardware lasts..

This is exactly my situation! I have a 2010 MacBookPro that I’ve put money into maintaining over the years, replaced just about every part it has, but it’s a workhorse that still performs great! If you have an older Mac and can’t update the OS, check out OpenCore Legacy Patcher - I’m on a 2010 running Monterey. I was replacing my Toshiba laptop computers about every two years before I spend the money on my MBP.

I have macs that I had to upgrade ram and such because they just don’t die. Current MacBook Pro is 10 years old and still a workhorse 10-14 hors a day

I switched to Mac in 2007. I still have it and it works.

I'm using a 2012 Dell. I was actually able to put Windows 11 on it.

I have a Comaq Presario CQ57. It's 10 yrs old, has a new hard drive, and it's going great. You would have never guessed it was 10 yrs old... An it was cheap, too, only $200 something at Walmart..

Agreed, I have a 2011 and a 2012 MacBook pro that I use for Dj work and they are bullet proof workhorses. They are not fancy but that have not failed me

I was a mac user since power pc days but when I had to pay 800$ 3x to replace the keyboard because a single key died, I said never again

My sis has had her MacBook in for repairs at least three times. Maybe she got a lemon of an Apple.

I’d up this to Apple products in general, really. I know a lot of people think they’re just a status symbol and I don’t defend Apple blindly (I still facepalm when I remember that ridiculously expensive display stand), but basically every Apple device I’ve had has more than earned its price in my eyes.

I'm still using my Alienware 👽laptop...10+ years old now

I have a Samsung laptop, 20 years old, stilll works. Have a Dell now, also fantastic

My macbook pro is 12. No battery left, but it plugs in and works well.

I work in IT, here are some things about laptops and PC's in General. The average laptop is designed to work 3 - 4 years. The average desktop PC about 4 - 6 years. We have found that if you are buying a laptop if you spend $600 for it, it will last 6 months to a year. If you spend $1500 - $2000 if will probably make it the 4 years+. A desktop you can go a little cheaper abut it is still in the $1200 range for a good PC to last a long time. A quality SSD will last about 4 - 6 years without an issue, but dont treat them as a dump truck and fill them up completely. If you want your several year old PC to feel brand new, one of the best things you can do is if it has an old style hard drive upgrade it to an SSD. The nuke it (format and start over) and start over option is a good way to make an older PC feel faster, but doing so erases everything so make sure you have a good backup of your data before doing so. I will not be held responsible for you erasing those precious memories.

Lol Hubby's Mac Pro started dying slowly less than one year later. Reason, graphics card, €500, please! Convinced him that gamers' laptops are the way to go for creatives, and bought an MSI, 4 yrs and purrrrrfect!

I'm doing research to buy a new hp laptop. Yes hp. My current one is still working after 13 years.

As a poor student all I could afford were HP. Absolutely Horse Poo. Plastic so flimsy you can snap it with your pinky. Never ever again

I've had my Mac since 2015. It is still going strong and is awesome looking.

Friend has a variety of generic PCs and laptop,s so old they had no sound cards and scsii ports, still running linux.
