[User 180565 is taking donation]

Given that top tech is mostly in all our homes what's your favorite brands you like to stick with or in your home? Doesn't have to be anything specific from phone to microwave etc..

Currently I've always been with

Samsung - Phone/Washer and dryer
LG for TVs
Ninja most kitchen appliances
Toyota for most cars I'm int in

I'm not really brand specific myself but thought it would be neat to hear your views I bought a Walmart branded kcup coffee maker for like $20 and it's been working great every since vs a $150 Keurig I almost decided to get.

I don't like being loyal to brands. I had a struggle where I became so loyal as a teenager and even young adult I refused to get good deals and better quality of life items because of branding.

With that said, I'm just glancing around to see what brands I have for my appliances and here's what I found.

Hamilton Beach for microwave, Fridgenator for dishwasher, Instant Pot for pressure cooker, Roseville for air fryer, Cuisiart for coffee machine.
Have sony for blueray player, TCL for TV, LG and Asus monitors, my computer was custom built so each part is it's own brand.

It's definitely quite interesting observing the branding in nearly everything these days.

I have a Samsung TV, a TCL Roku TV, a Roku, 2 Samsung Monitors, an Asus monitor, an Asus custom built PC, another Asus custom built PC. A MacBook Pro with the M1 Chip, an iPad Pro 12.9 inch with the M1 chip, the iPhone 14 Pro Max. (Used to be Android, and Samsung only. But wanted a change.)

Keurig for K Cup coffee. Elgato, Beyer Dynamic, Audio Technica headphones/Mic. Sony PS5, Akai keyboard. Canon Camera, AMD Process, Gigabyte 3060 Elite graphics card. I could go on for days. lol.

I think Gearheart Industry is my favorite brand. They're machined from a solid bar of metal to increase their lifespan.

For the most part, I don't care about brands in my house. I mostly care about what I can get for cheap or free, or what offers the functionality I want.

Stove: got for free, just had to change the cord.
Fridge: got for free, just had to fumigate for roaches.
Table: got for free, mom's ex boyfriend had it and left it when he parted ways
Microwave: something my dad left behind.
Air conditioner: free from a coworker once his central air got fixed.
7' x 11' rug: $50 from facebook marketplace
stoneware dish set: $20 from facebook marketplace
Toaster oven/toaster: Hamilton Beach. They have a toaster oven & toaster combo so it takes up less counter space.

Entertainment wise, my TV is a 32" Insignia plasma from 15 years ago. This will probably see an upgrade before most other things. Probably will be LG or Samsung.
Soundbar is a Samsung HW-F850. I got it for a steal of a price like 10 years ago and it finally needs some repair (pre amp tubes are dying). It's still $800 - $1000 to get it.

I absolutely love Scentbird! It's the perfect way to try out new fragrances without committing to a full bottle. I've discovered so many amazing scents through their subscription service. Plus, their packaging is super cute and their customer service is top-notch. Definitely one of my favorite brands when it comes to perfumes.
