What have you used the most at home these two years?
Love my air fryer. I got a Vortex xl it works great after five years and still using it daily. Got my friend a Ninja one and it died after a couple years. I tried to go from French press back to a coffee maker and found the taste to be awful and it used four times as much beans to be as strong as I wanted. Maybe try a different brand of French press - I have a Coffee Gator and when I grind my beans I do it for less time so not as fine of grounds.

What are your favorite niche BIFL items that are currently available?
I had to reply and verify the lifetime warranty. I had a rifle roll off the table/rest on it's first day out and crush an $800+ Vortex scope. Wrote exactly that in full transparency on the warranty claim form asking if there was anything they could do and they sent me a brand new scope. Made a customer for life, I have a bunch of their stuff.

Hum those are 8x42 just like yours. Far from cheap I would say. [https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-razor-hd-8x42-binocular.html](https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-razor-hd-8x42-binocular.html)

I dropped mine vortex binos out of my truck before a hunting trip. Called vortex and customer service said it’d take a 2 weeks max. I was leaving in a week and a half. They told me they’d get mine fixed or send me new ones before my trip! That sold me on the vortex brand for life

Vortex has excellent customer service to back up that lifetime warranty too. I have a vortex spotting scope and I lost one of the lens covers. I emailed them and got a response almost immediately and they had the replacement part shipped out to me along with some free stickers and a cap that very same day. Same experience when I broke the lens piece! I plan on buying a bigger vortex scope within the next few years. Highly recommend the brand.

Vortex products are tremendous. I have their Viper spotting scope my wife and I use for bird watching and plane spotting from our apartment.

Vortex offers a real, bonafide *lifetime warranty*. I messaged them about a rifle scope I broke through my own negligence, and they mailed a replacement that day. I’ve even heard of folks finding binoculars on a trail and getting them warrantied without issue. lol
