Head-On CAN be appied directly to the forehead! Which was it's only claim.

One of the only brands I would ever promote, Darn Tough socks.

Wear em out, ship them back, order a free pair. It's that easy and they are the most comfortable, durable socks I have ever worn. Won't ever buy another brand.

Timex: Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

I licked my watch when I was a kid and it kept on ticking.

Wood glue, no particular brand recommendations, is one of the pew products I trust to do exactly what it claims to - glue wood.

I think zippo lighters say they’re wind proof. I did enough professional testing a month ago to confirm this. My neighbors can also confirm there was a man in my lawn with a lighter violently whipping it around in his hand until said man was winded.

Sadly i am not made of zippos.

I fixed my hot tub with Flex Tape. It seems to be doing the job.

Bone conduction headphones

My mom bought my backpack 25 years ago and the clerk told her "they'll last for at least five years".

Well I still use mine daily, so yeah. Definitely lived up to expectations. Although I've did get it fixed, but first time just a year or two ago. So lasted without any fixing for longer than the average age on Lemmy, I'd say.

My MacBook air... Apple bad and all, but the battery life and (CPU) performance meet the claims...

Believe it or not, Oxyclean. That stuff works wonders. RIP Billy Mays.

Miele washing machine. Doing my laundry since 2001 and still as good as new.

A $250 Epson ink tank printer.

500 full colour 10x15 photos and still half full.

Instant pot. I mostly use it for batch cooking, making homemade stocks and rice now. But, I used to make yoghurt in it weekly and proof dough in it every 3 days or so.

It advertised a bunch of functions and it only sucks at slow cooking, but pressure cooking is faster and better imo, it does suck at slow cooking though.

Mr Clean magic bathroom erasers. Holy shit. They literally melted the soap scum from my bathtub when every other tile cleaner did next to nothing. I was completely blown away.

Instant Pot

Darn tough socks, lamy pens, Ibanez guitars, and crumpler bags have all been very solid quality products I consider well worth the value.

Contigo AutoSeal Thermal Mugs. They never spilled their contents, which I could never say about other thermal mugs. They keep everything warm/cold for a good amount of time. I'm just super happy with it, and it still holds up after 8 years of frequent, almost daily use.

PIA wiper blades are pretty amazing. They've lasted me close to 6 years now I think. Way more price efficient than regular wipers.

Those weird brushes that remove pet hair from carpets

My bamboo back scratcher.

Twix. They said "chew it over with Twix" as a joke, but I suck at socializing so it's a lifesaver when people know I need extra time to say something or think of something to say.

This thing is way more expensive than it seems like it should be for what it is, but if you've got a yard full of burrs it's worth the $270 to clear it up and reduce general misery at home.

Bought a Eufy g30 robot vacuum because it advertised that it could climb over thresholds and it does! The accessories are cheap too, especially if you buy knockoffs. Bought it in 2021 and still going strong, no complaints after almost daily use in a home with a cat and a small child.
