I’m putting this in chat and not in Technology because I’m also wondering about things like clothes, appliances—basically any sort of consumer product, virtual or physical, you can think of that you feel has retained some standard of quality and has not yet been enshittified. I would start by saying that Wikipedia has not yet been enshittified, but perhaps you disagree? Post is inspired by this video.
EDIT: coyotino correctly points out that Wikipedia isn’t a product but a service; poor word choice on my part, just trying to cast a wide a net as possible here in the hopes of making a list of “things that are still good that don’t suck.” Like I said, a wide net 🙂.
The market for vacuums seems pretty enshittified. That much plastic getting replaced every 5 years just doesnt seem that sustainable. Repairability seems to be an afterthought for a lot of the popular brands. Im looking at sebo right now, its just a heavy investment for my current situation
I’m still pretty happy with my Miele vacuum from 2018, and they seem to promise spare parts for 15 years.
I bet my model is nothing compared to what they were 20 years ago though 🤣
I’ve had a Miele for 9 years. I don’t know if anything’s changed recently, but based on my personal experience, that’s a hard recommend.
I don’t know how they are for longevity, but I’m extremely pleased with the two Shark vacuums we own. We own a bed and breakfast so they get out to heavy use.
I remember my mom always getting Sharks, but they seemed to always fail after a couple of years.
bagless is a non starter for me at this point. Im tired of the stuff i just vacuumed going airborne when I go to empty the thing out. I heard that repairability for sharks to be basically bottom of the barrel since they keep coming out with new models and stop supporting old models.
That’s why
