A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!

Guidelines:

Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!

Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.

Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.

A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:

  1. The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
  2. If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
  3. The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
  4. You cannot be a large corporation.
  5. The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

What companies make good air fryers? What models are good?

My Cuisinart air flyer is pretty nice. It's mostly a toaster oven, but adding a fan to a toaster oven is easy, so it does double duty. It's not particularly repairable, and they don't sell individual parts. The coils are a little weaker than they used to be, but it's not too bad. Maybe not "for life", but 10 years of near daily use is a pretty good run in this context.
