Buy it for Life

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.

Usually rice cookers are used in Asian countries on daily basis, it's like one of few things that won't ever break, even the cheapest

I've been reall happy with the Sage/Breville brand. I have both a blender and a pressure cooker/rice cooker from them and they are really well build. Sturdy and super easy to clean and use.

doesn't easily get nasty AF

Background? What the hell are you doing with your rice cooker?!

I have a Japanese zojirushi I bought about 8 years ago. Fuzzy logic, induction, etc. Still going strong and I don't find it hard to clean. Every one I used (such as my first year in Japan at a sharehouse) worked well and lasted.

I bought a cheap Xiaomi because it has wifi, the remote control and monitoring interest wore off but its a great device in it's own right. Produces excellent rice and is very easy to clean. Quick wipe of the non-stick bowl, run the steam chimney under the tap, done.
