Can we stop using toxic when we don't understand toxicology please? I've yet to pick up a paper and read, "Man dies from Bounce use". Don't like fabric softeners due to *.reason? Great! Don't use them. But don't sound the Horn of Helm's Deep like the stuff is toxic when it ain't.

No one can. You buy them based on square footage used and we have no idea of the size of your room. And if/when you do post it...post it right. If you close the door of your 300 sq ft bedroom you need one rated for that. If you leave the door open and you have a 1500 sq ft house, they you need one rated for that.

My opinion is for you to learn about vacuums as you are currently ignorant. And don't get all butt-hurt over that term as its not personal.

1. Most cordless vacuum cleaners are bagless which are inferior to bagged model.
2. Most cordless vacuum cleaners are inferior to their corded cousins in terms of suction, spinning and bag capacity.
3. You buy vacuums based on floor type...you did not post your floor type, so zero people can help you.
4. You can live alone or have 42 dogs, your vacuum cares not...the "dog and cat" labels on vacuums are for the ignorant.
5. Lifespan on cordless vacuums is a gray area as, as a form factor, there isn't a huge run time on them. We talk about 50 year old Kirbys on here a lot, but we've yet to talk about a 5 year old cordless Dyson.
6. Your best resource is likely the Youtube channel Vacuum Wars though it only speaks to function not lifespan. There is no commonly spoken of BIFL cordless vacuum cleaner.

If you think a cordless is going to best your main vacuum, you are mistaken. We have a Wyze robot....it decreases the periodicity of our main vacuum use. We have a Dyson cordless...it decreases the periodicity of our main vacuum use and is great for small accidents and is quick and drama free. We have two Miele main vacuums which kick the ever living dogshit of the Wyze and Dyson as they sucks like a SOB and are tough as nails....they are BIFL and I'll beat my chest about them. The Wyze and Dyson are probably the best of class for their form factors, but I ain't beatin' my chest about them.

Some people here chose not to READ your question. I did because good guy. T-Fal sells irons which contain a zinc anode which aids in the use of hard water. T-Fal is also pretty well knows as a good BIFL brand here but without the fanfare of the legion Rowenta. I use my T-Fal with zinc anode and distilled water because I'm so fancy I wear two monocles.

You cannot ask about comfort of other people as comfort to me is horror show to you. Many online disagree with me on this and then I ask them to recommend delicious candy and some double dumbass recommends black licorice and then every sees how right I am.

Here are BIFL, we care about lifespan. And if these are for work, question #1 is do you have a safety toe requirement and are you willing to spend ~$200 on shoes for work? If you aren't going to get off the wallet, then buy whatever fits your budget and accept that you will be buying a never ending river of these shoes....and spin the wheel on comfort.

Knowledge drop on shoes: Near zero brands are BIFL as they sell both normal and shitbox shoes. Don't ask for brands. Ever.

BIFL sneakers are a thing and they have nothing to do with the brand but rather the sole type: Margom sole.

Go to the googles and search for Margom sole sneakers. These are the only famously known type of sneakers than can be repaired/recrafted by a cobbler. They are not usually cheap and you may not like all the styles, but they are BIFL.

That's what everyone says when I call them out that they are in the wrong subreddit. I want a yellow blender that is $9 and will hold 82 gallons and operates on 50Hz and ships to Burkina Faso with a stainless steel tub with copper blades and a cord of waxed cotton. Oh, I'm in the wrong subreddit? But I want it to last a lifetime as well....no, you don't, you are interested in a specific item without regard to lifespan.

Most Solovairs are goodyear welted so they are just as easy to do as Thursdays. Dr. Martens are goodyear welted-ish and have more resole drama.

Moisture wicking is a lie. That was proven by a huge wood dork in a discussion with the CEO of Allen Edmonds years ago in malefashionadvice. The spreading action during the drying process naturally is the key as it keeps the shoe in shape. Cedar shoe trees are great, I'm not hatin', but they have no advantage vs. say a similarly shaped/function plastic version.

Fit, especially for females, is a you guessing game. Curvy is not a metric. Heck, even a legit Size 16 is not a metric as many brands don't conform. So for fit, good luck is all I can say. You should know that oz/yard is the metric to look for....brand don't mean shit...as long as you can find/afford jeans in a heavy weight made by Whogivesashit and they fit, you are good.

And for mens, its real easy as 34x34 in 90% of cases is true. Reason #884 when men have it easy. :)

You heard wrong. Look...respectfully....your didn't hear, you took 5 amazon reviews and drew a line to the sun. Rowenta is a BIFL iron and has been a great brand for years. EVERY product ever made has haters. Someone right now is in their Lamborghini Urus and calling it a piece of shit. Now unlike the Urus where 5 bad reviews vs a production run of 15,000 has a bit of weight, 5 bad iron reviews where they produce 15,000 of them daily...that has a different weighting.

Don't scare yourself with reviews. Hit the gym, take your vitamins, say your prayers, audit a statistics course and buy whatever Rowenta trips your trigger.

Your figure has zero to do with longevity, so remove that metric from your brain. The #1 metric of jean longevity is the weight of the denim and the material being 100% denim. What BIFL jeans? Get the heaviest weight jeans you can find. As a guide, most Levi's jeans are 10-12oz/yard in terms of fabric weight. You want to look as far north of that as you can find. There are even some 30 to 40 ounces jeans that will stand up by themselves. Another option is double knee jeans since these are work jeans.

The downside is heavy jeans are hotter, so if this is an issue...you have to pick which side of the seesaw you want to play on.

We care about lifespan here. Your #1 and #2 metrics of purchase have nothing to do with the topic of lifespan. You need to go to a cooking subreddit.

They are a hybrid. https://www.insider.com/this-is-how-dr-martens-get-professionally-restored-2020-6 is one cobbler who can do it though there are others.

Wrong impression shared by many. I'm no cobbler but they use a modified goodyear welt and can be resoled but you have to find a more experienced cobbler to resole them back to OEM specs. If they can resole them using another sole type other than OEM....of that, I'm ignorant.

You are asking a YOU question. Go to their website and see which versions meet your use case. Refirb and used are a thing to save some pennies.

You are espousing that L in BIFL is literal. It is not. Will these outlast every sub non-goodyear welted chukka? Hell yes. Will they outlast https://www.theshoemart.com/alden-mens-1339-chukka-boot-color-8-shell-cordovan/ no, but not many of us want $800 chukkas.

If you like chukkas, good news: Clark Bushacre II boots will survive 100 direct impacts from nuclear weapons and laugh. Their only weak point is the laces which suck ass, so buy they...measure the length and get some waxed cotton laces out of the gate. They aren't recraftable, but they just last and last and last and last....I think the soles are Nokia 3310s.

You are supposed to ask, then buy. Why are you doing things assbackwards?

What, exactly are your questions? What are your opinions is vague. My opinion is you should have bought you and your partner shell cordovan Alden Indy boots. And that statement does not serve you well as I don't know what the question is.

We have no idea as we don't know your finances to do a cost/benefit analysis. Worth is a financial metric and not one you can ask about online and get an answer worth a damn. Case in point, many ask about office chairs and cost of entry on a BIFL office chair is $1000. Are they worth the price?

And truth be told, there's not much new in the market and many BIFL options spoken of old. Its more a matter of price and looks than anything. Some people are just mad you can't get a BIFL umbrella for $7 at Walmart. Quality often costs and the cost often pisses people off....worse is when they find out BIFL office chairs start at $1000 :)

You are correct, but actual use of that logic is problematic as you can never trust advice based on previous experience and have shaky trust on new products. My real point is OP needs to use the search engine to get an immediate answer. BIFL large umbrellas are out there and have been discussed time and time again.

Zero jeans or pants. You cannot ask about comfort online as that's a personal metric. I could also recommend black licorice as a tasty treat and since its a personal metric, you'll hate on my because you think the black licorice taste sucks.

This is BIFL where longevity rules. If you want comfort, you need to wear pajama pants 24/7.

The question you want to ask is what are the hardiest jeans? Those are jeans of the heaviest denim you can find/afford. Denim comes in weights by weight of a yard of fabric. Heavyweight jeans are 16 ounces and up. Get some. And don't fall for marketing as there's a deep pool of hipster bullshit with heavyweight jeans.

Despite what is said above, you as a consumer have zero ability to determine what is or is not good leather. Full stop. The only determining factor is a products' history and as stated, Schott and Cockpit USA have a great history of quality. But, sadly, that reputation could turn on a dime.

What to know the real skinny on leather from people that know better than random asshats online? https://nstarleather.wordpress.com/2018/05/31/the-grades-of-leather-hierarchy-youve-probably-read-about-is-a-myth/

The jacket you linked to will probably do just fine. I've looked at leather stuff my whole life and not once ever heard lambskin referred to by any other terms than "lambskin" and never heard qualifiers like top grain, full grain, etc. applied to it. If you like and can afford it, get it. Is it BIFL? Not really as lambskin is naturally a sucky leather in terms of durability but this jacket is obviously a fashion jacket in a suitable leather type and I doubt you'll be wearing this on top of a utility pole.
