You've gotten some advice so far. If you want advice that makes all the advice here it's bitch: https://thisendup.com/furniture/sofas/

Yes, look for one under your budget. At under $200, you are a beggar not a chooser, so even if it smells like a wet dog with sketchy stains, buy it.

You finding it to be true or not is irrelevant. BIFL footwear is based on construction and very rarely just native hardiness. Zero consumers stores sell a 100% complete line of BIFL footwear. Most makers don't sell a 100% complete line of BIFL footwear. So saying, fictionally, "Go buy Brand X" is pretty ignorant. So saying, fictionally, "Go buy from Store X" is doubly ignorant. If you have specific advice for a specific shoe, by all means, state it. But stating for someone to go to a store which sells probably 100 boots from 40 different brands is anti-helpful. I know on the men's side of DSW, they sell zero BIFL anything save the Clark's Bushacre II which, though not featuring BIFL construction is just abnormally hardy.

Step zero for you should be to price out new lenses. New lenses are quick and easy. Otherwise, you can get https://www.amazon.com/Sandpaper-Assorted-Automotive-Sanding-V-story/dp/B074TV7LKH/ and start at 1200 and work your way to 3000.

https://www.golflocker.com/images/dynamic/Allen_Edmonds/Allen-Edmonds-size_and_fit_guide.pdf is what you need to print and KNOW your shoe size, not guess or quote your current shoe size.

We have no idea. Reasons why:

1. Budget. $1000 boots are a thing. For some this is fine. For some this is crazy.
2. Hiking. For something this means a walk on a decommissioned railroad. For some this means summiting Everest.
3. Winter. Winter in Phoenix, AZ or Winter in Eureka, Canada?

Nice of you to make a blanket assessment considering you have never held 70% of battery powered tools on the planet. Again...this sub is not literal, now if you want to be knowingly irrational about it...of that I can't help.

You can't. We have no idea what is moral or sustainable to you. And what is your definition of proof.

1. This is BIFL. This is not the "good" subreddit.
2. https://www.youtube.com/c/VacuumWars/videos is where you want to be to find "good"

Will you please read rule 1 and stop with the ignorant talk of nothing with a battery is BIFL? Seriously. Cordless stuff in the 90s really sucked. Cordless stuff today is legit badass. Do batteries die? Yep. And we buy new ones and life goes on. The L in BIFL is not literal, please get onboard with that.

I recommend you come to this sub with an open ended question and not shop your conclusion. State where you live, budget, intended use case....outdoor/indoor/both and weather seen.

Terribly. One of the issues with this sub is some think because their item is 50 years old and still works, it's great. A terrible 50 year old item is not doing you any favors. Would I want this item from a garage sale to use as a shop/car vacuum? Yep. Would I want this item for my home? Nope.

Stop being coy about a budget as it is fooling no one but yourself. If you want a BIFL multi-tool system, then https://www.hilti.com/ is it. Once you find out the cost and your nose stops bleeding, you have just learned the importance of a budget.

If you are a common man doing common task, you do not want/need to buy a true BIFL item. Explore the room...if the home improvement stores in your area or the website you like has a wide selection of Dewalt and Bosch, pick one brand and stay with it as most of the sunk cost is the charging/batteries and once you become a Bosch man, you should buy all things Bosch.

I chose Milwaukee. They have a 12v and 18v system. I'm not a professional, so I went with the 12v version of tools and have like 8 or so tools now due to impulse buying and sales and used market buys. Is it BIFL? I'm leaning towards no-ish, but they are premium mid tier and are overkill for the average homeowner and sheer amount of tools is mindblowing.

What you need to do is think up your own items and run them through the search engine. Otherwise, you will see a rambling post where people talk about a great microscope, ice climbing shoes and bread maker....non of which you give a damn about.

You cannot ask people about mattresses or toppers or pads on the internet. We don't know if they will be too hot or cold for you. We don't know if they will be too soft or too firm for you. We damn sure can't put a metric on comfort or sinking as you may weigh 104lbs or weigh 28 Stone with both skewing things up greatly.

Go to a vendor with a great return policy and maybe get lucky on the first shot.

Worth is a personal metric the internet can't help you with. My buddy's wife just spent $4500USD on a new purse. Is it worth it?

Miele is a BIFL brand. Is it the best? No. Do you want one and can you afford it are YOU questions.

No one can help you as you have fundamental misunderstanding of the industry.

1. Purifiers are sold on square footage of the room(s) used. You didn't list it so 0 people can recommend one.
2. 0 purifiers with a washable/cleanable filter are purifiers. The only standard for purifiers is their ability to filter the air. You can quantify this via the rating, with the 99.9% gold standard being a HEPA or PM2.5 unit which has a filter that needs replaced.

Now if just want a "purifier" that doesn't do anything other than make noise, move air and filter cigarette butt sized objects, you can get you a box fan and tie a washable filter to the back, but make no bones: This ain't a purifier.

That is your opinion. Would love evidence to back it up, but there is none.

Again, you have a valid concern. But you can't ask the internet about it. If you do, you will receive a response from Carl who wore a Columbia jacket for 10 years, had a zipper failure and his zipper was replaced for $0. And you will receive a response from Sally who wore the same Columbia jacket for 5 years and her warranty was denied after sliding 200 feet due to a 45MPH motorcycle collision. Carl is happy and tells you to have no fear. Sally is Big Mad and says Columbia is literal Satan.

Ignorant consumers always blame the fine print for their being a fuck head. Now there are companies that are also fuck heads, but you will find that its more consumers than companies.

Kudos for logic! Really. Too few have it here. But sadly, I never said mobos are better. I just said people who allege knobs are better do so sans evidence.

Pedantic are we? Can't wait to see your SPC charts showing data for knobs vs control boards.

Dr. Martens are not supposed to last forever. No footwear lasts forever as that's not a thing and Dr. Martens are only marginally better than normal footwear as they are a pain in the neck to have resoled. And I'm no cobbler, but the Jadon Max with its ginormous soles may not be repairable. So you may just have to buy another pair.

The issue with people here is they have no idea of what you speak: These are platform combat boots and very few people know what those are. I'd look to their 1460 Pascal Max Platform Combat Boots with the upper being a bit hardier than the Jadon Max version.

The answer you seek will fail you as there is no answer. The simple answer is to find the manufacturer with the longest warranty. The real issue is people who think they can use their LL Bean jacket as a backstop at the archery range and get SuperMAD when they don't get it replaced for $0. The reason for fine print is for dickbutts and as long as you take care of your jacket and don't place unrealistic expectations on it, the warranty should be fine.
