Products that over deliver
« on: November 27, 2008, 04:21:59 PM »

Killing a little time this Thanksgiving before I go out and grill the Thanksgiving cow.

I was standing in the kitchen eating some cereal out of the box and realized how delicious this stuff is - Post Selects Blueberry Morning (I know, I know - beat me with a feather). I got to thinking about what an esoteric group this forum represents. Generally, people willing to pay more for quality and even a bit more for appearance.

I thought I would poll this august group to find out what products you have personally purchased and used that you feel are nearly worth their weight in gold. Could be anything. I would start with the iPod and my iMac (after spending 25 years in the WinTel camp, I finally saw the light). These things are genuinely fun to use, very reliable and look great.

I would add OpusX cigars, Mazda Miatas (a ton of reliable fun for very little money), St. Croix sweaters (a long time favorite that makes me look forward to winter), my Ariens snowblower (soon to see heavy rotation), Uni-ball Micro pens (cheap, crisp and accurate) Wustoff knives (worth every penny), my Blackberry (or crackberry as my wife calls it) and JVC D-ILA projectors (stunning picture for the price).

Would be interested to see what you all throw in the mix. You could turn us on to a unique Christmas gift or a useful tool. Could be something you use on your bike or something that makes your life better or just brings a smile to your face every time you see or use it.

Firechief2 - I'm with ya on the sony camera's (still and video) and I have a Viao but the Mac has replaced that, so much fun to use! I also believe in Sony receivers and mini-speakers.

kb - I'll check out the LL Bean boots. Been loooking for a pair to keep my feet dry!

Keep 'em comin' guys, Christmas isn't far off and I want a good list to give my wife!

Most everything LL Bean makes overdelivers. If it doesn't they'll give you a replacement or your money back no questions asked even a year or two later. And their chamois shirts are heaven.

I agree with Firechief. Garmin always over delivers on quality, performance and service!

I'm still thinking of others.

The quality motorcycles Harley produces. They never break, the chrome does not rust, chip, crack, peel off and last forever, parts are cheap, service that you can always rely on at HD dealerships, The great customer/customer service relationship from HD, the subperb quality of the 105th flag that was in the package bought from HD for a very fair price.
