Another vote for Viofo, have them on two cars, both have been flawless. Not bloated or overpriced either.

BIFL = Stovetop kettle
Sorry to be a wet towel, but the electronics will fail at some point.

To clarify, I do not have a beard or mustache. I just like beard trimmers because it cuts short enough to be socially acceptable and doesn’t cause my whole face to break out.

Babyliss has the best beard trimmers I've ever used. I do hair. They are amazing. They have replaceable blade heads that are very helpful when it comes to buy it for life.
However, if you are not doing detail work around the hairline, you probably don't need those. Wahl Peanut is a very good trimmer and perfect for what you say you want them for. The do not have a replaceable head though.

Lane just fired all its employees, according to a salesman who sold us our furniture. They mentioned Stickley being good and some of Bassett (benchmade?) being solid wood.

Assuming you’re in the states, I have a cuisinart electric kettle (the perfectemp one) that I love, but have only had it about three years.

For a whole 40 bucks or whatever, it's well worth it

Reply to comment by tawny_madison in Cat water fountain recommendations? by mokie_sassafras
Second the aquapurr. We have a cat that sticks his paw in the water to drink, and it was REALLY difficult to keep the fountain style clean. In answer to the comment below, the little straw is pretty thick plastic my cat who looves to chew plastic has never tried to eat it. I wondered if there was a glass option, or get more than one straw and switch them out for cleaning.

Have the viofo duo. Never had to really use it, but can verify it works. I think the app sucks though. Haven't figured out how to unlock files from the app.

I am leaning very heavily towards a corded model from a reputable company that offers blade replacements. The battery is always what dies first one the last few I’ve had.

We cannot help you as you have not provided enough information and you are in the wrong subreddit.
There are MANY metrics of purchase with dash cams with the LEAST helpful metric being lifespan, so any help here will only pigeon hole you into a bad dashcam.
Read https://www.reddit.com/r/Dashcam/comments/zmv6is/choosing_a_dash_cam_101_a_helpful_guide/ then visit it or /r/dashcams/ for advice as you will not get help here.

I have the Blackvue Dr 750s for at least 4 yrs now and it's been great. I believe they got the newer versions so it's easier to wire and no need for the power magic pro.

Possible unpopular opinion, but I really recommend a corded trimmer over cordless. You can't get the same power with a battery.

Can't speak for sure about the longevity of it yet, but the Secura water kettle has an all stainless steel interior, so you don't have to worry about plastics breaking down over the years. It's real simple, only one on/off switch. If you're in the US and want a plug-into-the-wall type electric kettle, I'd say it's a decent 30 buck choice

I don't know brands, have been living with various hand-me-down kettles for decades, but ...
With so many cities turning toward "no new fossil gas hookups", and "green methane" and "hydrogen stove" being, at best, a maybe, I'd stick with an electric kettle or something with a flat metal bottom so that it can go on an induction cook top.

Where do you live? Kettles are one of the big things which differ between the 230v 50hz world and the 120v 60hz world.

I've had a Breville Icon sitting next to my Dualit toaster for 15 years trouble free. It's used daily. It also has a very satisfying analog bell that dings when it hits boiling, a nice happy sound every morning.

If you like using a straight razor, but don't like the maintenance I would highly suggest buying a Shavette. You insert razor blades just like with a Safety razor, just that you have the control and the precision of a straight razor.

You are seeing Wahl here a lot for a reason. They have several models for both professionals and home use and with proper oiling and cleaning, they will last you a lifetime. My beard trimmer is a over 20 years old and works perfectly on my very full Russian/German beard and is equally effective on my pubes - no dick nicks here!

Love my Blackvue, but it’s “battery monitor / auto shutoff feature” is horrible. It’s drained my battery so many times, even at the max voltage cutoff.
