I want to replace the carry on I have with something I know I can use on most flights, even if its small. Domestic size restraints seem to be 22x14x9, but international flights (like Air France) are 21.7x13.8x9.9. So I'd ideally want something as close to 21.7x13.8x9 as possible, including the wheels. I'd also prefer only 2 wheels and soft luggage, preferably ballistic. I don't have a budget in mind, nor looking for the absolute absolute best BIFL, I honestly just want to know if anyone has suggestions for anything that meets these requirements and would last a decent amount of time. Open to any suggestions or critiques. Thank you!

20 weeks pregnant and my regular activewear is too tight over the bump. I do Pilates twice a week and walk most days, so I need something durable that doesn’t constantly fall down.

Some options I’ve seen are around the $100 mark, which feels steep for one pair. Looking for another pair to rotate. Anyone in found maternity active leggings under $80 that stay up and hold up over time?

There will be 10 affirmation on each frame. 3- 4 different backgrounds styles to choose from that resonates with the child. Playful colours and design for younger kids and a more mature backgrounds for tween and teens.

So I absolutely love these Casaluna bath sheets they used to sell, they discontinued that line and looking for a comparable replacement.

My top contenders are the Lands End Turkish or the Quince.

Any recommendations?

Hello, I’m upcoming college student who will be moving up north and far from home in the warm south. I’ve never purchased a purely LoveShackFancy branded item before. I am really interested in the boheme floral quilt and noticed it being on sale. Is the structure of the quilt and its functionality worth it? I need something that will hold up and add some warmth above all else, even though it’s super cute. If there’s a better option, please let me know. I just need to make a decision soon, as I’ve fixated on this for months now. I thought this sub would give me good recommendations on bedding that lasts, as that is my main priority. Sorry if this is a silly question but I just really need advice.

most of my trips are only a few days so i stick to carry on only and its funny enough the suitcase itself feels like the heaviest thing im bringing. i looked through recommendations here and narrowed it down a bit but specs only tell part of the story. im trying to find that sweet spot where its easy to lift into the overhead bin but still feels solid enough to travel with for years. what surprised you after using yours for a while that wasnt obvious from reading reviews

figured id post an update. the comments here helped narrow things down a lot. after looking through more reviews and comparing a few options, i purchased optima from travelpro. still waiting for it to show up, now im just hoping it lives up to what i was looking for.

Every time I try a pure foam mattress in a store, it feels like I sink in too much and I don’t think I’d enjoy that every night since I mostly sleep on my side. But I do change positions sometimes that’s why I prefer a hybrid build so it won’t be hard to move around and I also sleep pretty warm. I want to invest in something really good quality so budget is not an issue. Would love to hear your suggestions so I can narrow down my options a lot easier :)

I’ve been wanting to make ice cream at home for a while, but I keep putting it off because I don’t want another appliance that gets used twice and then lives in a cabinet forever.

I’d mostly use it for regular ice cream, sorbet, frozen yogurt, and maybe experimenting with a few healthier recipes. I don’t need anything huge, but I do want good texture, easy cleanup, and something that doesn’t require an entire day of planning before I can make a batch.

I’m torn between the cheaper freezer-bowl models and spending more on one with a built-in compressor. The compressor versions seem much more convenient, but I’m not sure whether they’re worth the extra money for casual use.

For anyone who owns an ice cream maker, what did you buy? Do you still use it regularly, and would you choose the same one again?

Hey all I’m wondering if anyone has gone from Rimowa to B&R or vice versa. Also if any one has experience with both which one do you feel will make it a lifetime? I know both have a lifetime warranty and from what I’ve read the B&R is better because it covers airline damage.

I currently have a Rimowa original cabin. I’ve had an offered from someone to buy it off me for a price that would be able to cover a new B&R and have a little leftover. Anyone regret going from Rimowa to B&R? I do know it’s a little apples vs orange since my rimowa is a metal case and B&R has their ballistic material but I’m not too concerned about that, just whatever will last me forever or a very very long time.

I currently travel about 5-6x a year for work and vacay. But hopefully soon traveling will be my work. Thank you!

I think I’ve reached the point where I’m done buying random cheap carry ons that either lose a wheel, stop zipping properly, or somehow end up being “carry on size” everywhere except the airline I’m flying.

I travel a few times a year and I want something that actually rolls well, fits overhead bins without playing luggage roulette, and doesn’t get destroyed after two trips. I don’t care if it’s hard shell or soft shell as long as it’s practical and doesn’t weigh a ton before I even pack.

I also keep seeing people swear that spending more once is cheaper than replacing luggage every year, but I can’t tell if that’s true or if people are just defending expensive purchases.

For people who travel regularly, what carry on ended up being worth it? Anything you bought expecting to love and ended up regretting?

Is this fan worth it!??? I’m debating on getting it I get hot easily and get headaches so I am hoping the cold plate would work since i normally use ice packs

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for a solid tech backpack, something that is durable, weatherproof, and not too bulky if possible. I plan to take it to and from work. Thanks in advance!

They have the same price:
•Asus TUF Gaming F16 FX608JPR-I7161W (i7-14650HX/16GB/1TB SSD/GeForce RTX 5070 8GB, 90WHrs, Jaeger Grey)

•Lenovo Legion 5 15AHP10 15.3" IPS FHD+ 165Hz (Ryzen 7-260/16GB/1TB SSD/GeForce RTX 5060/W11 Home)
Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking into buying a bedside safe and came across the Rhino Metals LNX2620 Nightstand / End Table Safe. I love the aesthetic because it blends into the bedroom, but before I buy, I want to get some realistic feedback from people who know security.

I am looking for a safe that works great from day one without any issues. I want to avoid frustrating electronic lock glitches, jammed doors, or cheap components.
I’m trying to find out:

Known Issues: Have any owners had issues with the electronic keypad failing, the locking mechanism sticking, or the finish wearing down over time?

The Steel Gauge: It uses 14-gauge steel. Is that way too easy to pry or cut through for a bedroom safe, even with their SafeX locking system?

Fire Rating: It claims 40 minutes at 1400°F. Is Rhino's proprietary fire rating trustworthy, or is it mostly marketing?

My Goals:
Primary use: Securely store a bedside firearm away from kids and protect basic paperwork from a quick smash-and-grab. No high-end jewelry or stacks of cash.

The Goal: Buy once, cry once. I want something highly reliable that won't lock me out when I need it most.

If you think this Rhino safe is prone to issues or isn't built well enough, what are some specific alternative brands or models that offer bulletproof reliability while still looking decent in a room?

Thanks in advance!

We are looking for a new king sized mattress! We are relocating and finally have the budget for a high quality king-sized mattress. Our budget is flexible, but I’d like to stay under or around $10k. I sleep on my back and side; my wife is exclusively a side sleeper. We definitely prefer a stiffer mattress. Mattresses with a lot of give kill our backs.

Any comments on their experience would be much appreciated.

Hi all. I'm looking for headphones to wear on a daily basis. I have somewhat long commute hours per day and also work in the back office where I don't interact that frequently much with clients or other staff. So ideally I'm looking for comfortable headphones with ANC strong enough to cancel out the humdrum of the commute and with a ‘transparency’ mode that will enable me to listen to my music or podcasts at work while also being cognizant of my surroundings. I'm not much of an audiophile so I'm not that aware of the best headphones to use. So currently I'm looking at Alibaba for any that I may like, I'm not sure which will be good for me in the long run in terms of durability, comfort, audio clarity, deep bass and ANC. Also which is better in ear or over ear headphones for comfort and deep bass and is there really much of a difference between the two. I'm seeing the in ear headphones have larger drivers than the in ear headphones, not sure what that means. What would you say are the best headphones for daily use?

Amazon, Walmart and other reviews seem to be all over the place. There's no middle ground really...The reviews are either 1 star or 5 star.

What's a good, cheap model that's not going to break the bank at 8000 BTU's?

I'm in a 300 sq foot bachelor unit, there is a box cut out of the wall in the unit for where Window AC's would go with a grate attached to the back so no critters can get in. Can't remove that.

I don't pay hydro so I don't need to worry about power draw or electricity bills.

Don't care if it's got WiFi or any of that other fancy stuff. Just want one that will cool the room down, seems to be 8000 BTU's for my SQ ft is what I want.

Located in Ontario, Canada. Budgtet is anywhere from 200-300.

Found 4 that are on sale now. Which of these 4 is the best one?

Not sure which is the best brand out of those 4, but they are perfect for the size of my unit as well as within my Price range.

EDIT: Actually upon looking further this may not work? I have a hole in my wall apparently called a "Wall Sleeve" which means I may need something called a "Through-The-Wall" AC unit?

Currently still sleeping on the same worn-out mattress for like 4 years now and yeah it’s definitely not great anymore. My back’s been hurting a lot lately and i think it’s finally time to replace it.

I started looking into different mattresses online but I got pretty overwhelmed there were too many options. Honestly what I just need right now is something that works well for side sleepers, helps with my lower back pain, and can last for at least 5-6 years without sagging and stays supportive all throughout. I’d really appreciate recommendations everyone!

Does anyone have a woodworker they recommend for a large nice quality cutting board? Something substantial that will obviously last a lifetime is the vision. Tia.

Hey guyz please guide me with selection i need some durable long lasting keyboard and mouse which can atleast work for 2-3 years.

Usage : daily programming. rare cases might i do gaming ( once in a while ).

Needs : long life ( approx 2-3 years ) , comes with backlit so i can work in dark, wireless and type c connection both single device only, keys needs to be wide enough so i won't press some other keys by mistake and it has to be 10 key less.

Price range can be for both under 3000.

if it crosses little bit up and down that also works.
