This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.
Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:
Gerber MP600: It’s a multi tool
Old Thinkpad Laptops
Mag lights
Toyota Hilux
Classic Vitamix blender models. They just work. Long warranty. And even post warranty easily serviceable.
And for a buy-it-for-multiple-lifetimes citrus juicer to get juice for the blender, there’s the Nemco 55850.
Vitamix smell! Dontbreathis!
They keep coming out with fancier models, but the 5200 still reigns supreme. Who needs programs on a blender?
