I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

It's absolutely a choice of personal preference - I just wanted to be clear that the super trendy silicon-valley office chair company from a few years back isn't necessarily best for everyone.

Mesh chairs can be extremely comfortable if you run hot.

I agree that it's possible to not like the style of a Herman Miller Aeron chair, or to not find it comfortable (if it's the wrong size or not adjusted correctly), but you can't deny that they're incredibly durable (especially for mesh!). I've been sitting in mine daily for over a decade, and the mesh is still as tight and un-torn as it was the day I bought it -- and it had probably spent years in a trendy dot-com company office before that!
