Oh ok, yeah mine never leaked, just wouldn’t keep anything cold. It’s a shame as I really liked the look of the KK, the classic was nice and simple, but no good if it stops working, it pissed me off as it was just out of warranty by the time I got around to dealing with it, and they made it a hassle so I didn’t bother. So now I just make sure to mention it when the topic comes up and people can make their decisions with that info.

Yep, and 1 year warranty on KK, 5 years on yeti. My KK had no major damage, just lost vacuum, I’ve heard others have had a similar experience when this has come up on reddit in the past.

Edit: I think there was even a BIFLfail post on them.

I always said I wouldn’t be a yeti fanboy, but I got a yeti water bottle for Chrissy one year and I’m a massive fan. I live in country Australia and it sits in my car at god knows what temperature. Bottle is almost to hot to pick up water is still ice cold.

It functions very well. This is so petty, but it’s the way that the racks load that drives me crazy. We vacation at our friends house every year and they have an Asko and it is my favorite dishwasher to load ever. Our other friends that travel there mention the same thing. I know they’ve had it for at least 20 years at this point and it is still functioning perfectly.

ETA— we thought they had a Miele which is why we bought ours. (We needed a dishwasher stat and ordered online during the pandemic shortage.)

Native plants! We got into planting native plants in our yard because they are good for biodiversity. They are also almost zero maintenance, so now we’ve converted nearly our whole yard to native plants. You’ll need to look up what that means for your area, but I have wildflowers in my front yard that come back every year more prolific than the last.

5 years ago we bought a new build in a master planned community where everyone got Bosch appliances (range/oven, microwave, and dishwasher). Everyone HATES (haaaaates) their appliances and many have been replaced. The ovens vary wildly in cooking temps (some run super cold, some run hot) and the warming drawers broke. Everyone I know has already replaced the microwaves. The dishwashers are hanging on but do a crap job. I will never buy a Bosch. I know it’s not an isolated case for our home bc there’s a neighborhood message board with hundreds of homeowners and people are always asking for help w their Bosch appliances. Oh and the builders have stopped installing Bosch in the new phases.
