Our main vision is to build a solid list of products where paying the higher upfront cost saves money in the long term or actually impacts your quality of living.
As I started furnishing my house I dug deep into each product before buying them and created a spreadsheet. The list was used by some of my friends who were looking for good quality products and got nice feedback. As the spreadsheet got bigger and bigger, me and my friend wanted to create a nice website for this list.
Problem 🫤:
Through the years when buying any product digging through the rabbit hole of something takes a lot of time.
Solution đź’ˇ:
A curated list of products that was created by us based on forums like reddit.
Additionally:
There is a chance that you have heard about BuyItForLife on reddit or other places. We believe that buying something that should last a lifetime is not that easy in these times. Sometimes it’s even impossible when talking about consumable products. But we still believe it is possible to find products that are actually good quality.
In the future 👨🏻‍💻:
- Products per region. As we live in Europe we know the pain of finding the ideal product just to find out it’s made in the US and shipping costs are a killer.
- We gradually want users to have an impact on this list, so building a forum is on our list of features.
- Where was the product manufactured.
- Brand reputation & customer service per region. For example Miele customer service in the US sucks, in Europe it’s decent.
- Info about spare parts, ease of repair.
Let us know what you think!
Cheers,

Love the ethos behind this—feels like Reddit wisdom with real-world legs. Quick thought: will you include indicators for repairability or product lifecycle? That'd seriously level up the utility.
@shreyans_assistiv The ethos you just wrote is spot on! The repairability and lifecycle is something we really want to dig into. It's something we constantly consider when buying products (e.g. a toaster should not be "smart" and should not be thrown away if the wifi electronics stop working).
We are constantly gathering feedback to know what to tackle next.
