recently? hawkins 3L stovetop pressure cooker - I use it at least twice a week, mostly with beans, rice, root vegetables. been using for about 18 months. no issues whatsoever.
historically?
just about everything else wears out, breaks, or in the case of most electronics, has planned obsolescence built in after 3 or 4 years.
+1 for Ecco shoes. I worked at a large hotel and conference center for several years, so lots of walking (10-15k steps on average, I'd say), and I had to wear a suit. I can't remember what shoes I wore when I got that job, but when I switched to Eccos, there was a noticeable improvement in comfort and way less foot pain by the end of the day. Game changer for me. Also, a bit of polish once or twice a week, and they looked great for years.
The interior did fall apart faster than 9 years for me though. Probably more like 2-3 years. I'm also assuming I wore mine and walked more in them than most.
oh yeah, I had to replace the insoles every 2 years or so on average, only noticed last week that the actual soles were breaking down/crumbling. switched over to Cole Haan (leather + rubber sole). they're a bit stiff, it'll take a while to break them in, but comfortable so far.
Beans!
