I only know the first three companies on that chart. I had a Gaggia Classic someone gave me and when it failed bought another one. When that failed five or so years later, I bought a Sunbeam. Imo it makes better coffee and was half the price.

Choice magazine in Australia does reliability surveys for appliance, electronic and a few other things. The one that remember was for fridges, where Smeg was the most expensive by a good margin but least reliable.

If you slice instead of chopping, and use a really sharp knife, you'll avoid the tears.

I bought a fabric shopping bag from Ikea a couple of years ago, and have had good use from it.

Until last month, when I used it to make up for the lack of lumbar support on a Jetstar flight and left it behind.

So yesterday we bought some fabric and my wife whipped up new ones.
