Yeah, do you ?
It's a reliable brand, much more that Renault for example. Ut's not the best, but very legit for the price

Reply to My father has developed asthma in his mid 50’s and I think an air purifier in his bedroom would be really good for him. Do you have any recommendations? by C_A_N_G
An air purifier is not an analgesic. Full stop. No and then.
And if it was, which its not, we can't help you as they are purchased based on the size of the room...of which we don't know.

I have a 15-year old Toro that I bought used several years back for $600 Canadian from a small engine repair shop. The thing is a tank compared to the Craftsman (MTD) I had before. If it broke today I would buy another Toro in a heartbeat. Probably one of their battery electric ones.
I remember when I bought it asking the guy about getting shear pins to have on hand. He said Toro doesn’t need them because of the way they are designed. He even said you can throw a brick in them and it will keep going. I thought, “yeah, right.” Then last season I ran over a garden trowel that was buried in the snow. The thing bent the metal trowel almost in half and threw it 20 feet. Didn’t even slow the engine.

Reply to [Request] My son needs work boots for masonry school—looking for suggestions. by Tris-Von-Q
Buy him timberland pro pit boss boots, I have bought a pair of these every year for the last 4 years. I work with chemicals and water on hard concrete floors, and metal grates. These boots hold up well, are comfortable, and run about $100. Masonry will kill his boots, like constant water and chemicals, so I would not suggest spending much more.

Salt grinders are a scam, change my mind

Peugeot and DeBuyer pepper mills are the best you can find. I have a DeBuyer pepper mill for several years now and when you use it you know it is the kind of object that will last a few generations.

Peugeot cars are fine. More reliable than German cars but less reliable than Korean and Japanese brands.

Air Doctor is what we have. My wife has spent dozens of hours researching.

I had this same opinion but I've discovered a good reason for using grinders for salt: You know exactly much salt you put on different meals. For example: 3 twists for coffee, 8 for oatmeal, etc...

Reply to 10 years and still kicking, haven’t had to repair or replace a single part (Weber Spirit gas grill from 2012) by ScreamingPrawnBucket
I have this exact grill (although it's the 2 burner version) that I bought in 2013. I use it 1-2 times/week all year round. The only thing that I've replaced (just had to do it this past summer) is the ignitor button, the flavor bars and the burner tubes.

It's not so much about it being pink salt. It's more to do with a grind. That's less fine than a thing of mortons

Nothing is rust proof. Some things are rust resistant

What magical place do you live in that doesn't have moisture in the air. Especially moisture next to a stove where water is in steam form half the time

Where did you buy them from?? I wouldn't trust something like that from Amazon because of fakes

If you can't find rock salt easily at your local supermarket, you can just buy one of the pre filled pink salt grinders and empty it into your nice grinder.

Some peppercorns are simply too big for the Peugeot grinder I had that issue once :/

Air purifier is basically a fan attached to air filter.
Choosing one isn't very hard if you think about how large you want your fan and how many fans you would want so that the air flow can be adequate

Solovair isn't much different from buying Dr Martens. They are both mass-produced with cost effectiveness in mind. They are not built for longevity. Go to /r/Goodyearwelt for recommendations on quality boots.
