sounds like they hired some MBAs to teach them how to cannibalize their brand?Patagonia obviously knows that this product is far less popular than what it replaced and they don’t care. Seems that their designs in general have gone to sh!t.

That's the real deal. Every suction cup shower caddy I've ever bought is a piece of garbageI just reviewed suction cup shower hooks on Amazon that I bought more than a year ago cause in a market where you have to wade through heaps of cheap Chinese sh!t these things were an exceptionally good product. They’ve maintained their hold in my shower for over a year now without budging and the finish looks as good as the day I purchased them. For the price I paid if they fell apart or didn’t do their job in under six months I wouldn’t have been surprised.
i don't believe anything i read on Amazon anymore. have bought a number of items there over the last couple years where the seller subsequently contacted me and offered me compensation for positive reviews (mostly for cheap electronics) - the whole review system is broken, imho.Yes but you need to be careful with reviews. There’s a lot of fake ones out there pumping up products. While you can still find good products on Amazon there’s a lot of cheap ass shitty crap to wade through
Your suction cup shower caddy is more saddy than your traction paddy?That's the real deal. Every suction cup shower caddy I've ever bought is a piece of garbage
These are just hooks not a full caddy but they’ve done the job and have held up better than I ever expected.That's the real deal. Every suction cup shower caddy I've ever bought is a piece of garbage
Currently in the market for a new fridge and was thinking about making a post. Sounds like LG is the way to go? I want something quality that’s not gonna give me any trouble along with hopefully no stupid fucking WiFi camera bluetooth bullshitI found out about LG through Reddit when my fridge/freezer defrost drain tube kept freezing up and filling the bottom with water, after I'd learned to clear it and did so a few times. The kid who brought the new one just pointed at the LG when I told him about it.
Live and learn but Lowe's knows what they're selling, even their subcontracted doped up no English speaking delivery kid on a Friday knows what they're selling.
This. Stupid fucking WiFi camera bluetooth bullshit does not chill your food or wash your clothes or cook your dinner any better but it is make-work for appliance repair dudes.The real killer with appliances is the mother board. That is what always goes out.
If you can find one that doesn't have it you will be better off.
I just remodeled my place and the guy was trying to sell me up on a oven/range that matched my other appliances but the one he was trying to sell me on had a mother board.
I told the guy I just wanted it to turn on and off and I didn't need a range/oven with a computer.
He got it and I bought the Thor. Their mission statement was why do you have to pay more when we can give you the same quality for half the price.
It was a good purchase and I'm very happy with it. Thor understands and they have a great product.
Exactly!This. Stupid fucking WiFi camera bluetooth bullshit does not chill your food or wash your clothes or cook your dinner any better but it is make-work for appliance repair dudes.
Thor makes some nice looking stuff. Just checked out their fridge.Exactly!
Why buy a Viking when you can get a Thor for a fraction of the price that works perfect without the assistance of a motherboard.

Appliances should just turn on and off with no need for computer assistance. At least that’s the way I see it.
Naw mang, go with one of the old school refridgerator brands you grew up with. Not a company that makes crappy Wal Mart TVsCurrently in the market for a new fridge and was thinking about making a post. Sounds like LG is the way to go?

Fck samsung appliances.Naw mang, go with one of the old school refridgerator brands you grew up with. Not a company that makes crappy Wal Mart TVs
Would also recommend trying to take it apart in the store so you can see how hard it would be to access the insides. With Samsungs (what I have) all of the wiring and cooling gadgetry is in a super narrow area behind the inside rear panel. So dumb
good point about being easy to fix broNaw mang, go with one of the old school refridgerator brands you grew up with. Not a company that makes crappy Wal Mart TVs

I was in Ushuaia (Argentine Patagonia) a few weeks back. Quite a few high-end outdoors stores selling Patagonia gear down there nowadays, which I guess was unsurprising considering it's a main embarkation point for trips to Antarctica. Incredible place. Hiking in Tierra Del Fuego was something I'll never forget.I was in a sporting good store in El Calafate, Patagonia a decade or so ago. I asked the owner if he was familiar with the Patagonia brand in North America. He said, “No, they should not use our region’s name for profit“ or, words similar to that. Beautiful part of the world, really good people and food. Two of the crew took a dingy to one of the ice bergs, sawed off a chunk of ice (before there were humans according to the boat’s captain) and brought it on board where I had a nice single malt with the ‘old’ ice which was crystal clear.

Ushuaia is a great little town. Back in the 1800s Argentina needed a prison, they wanted it as far from populated areas as possible. Ushuaia is the Southern most city on the South American continent (prison is gone now). Great sea food! Took a ride in a Sprinter bus over the Andes (in snow) from Del Fuego to Ushuaia, white knuckle ride all the wayI was in Ushuaia (Argentine Patagonia) a few weeks back.
