There's so much cheap, shoddily made, made-in-China shit on the market, I wanted to compile a list of the excellent products and services I've come across in business and personal experiences and ask others to add their own. I'm not vouching for whether or not these things are made in Israel or whether or not they may be wholly owned and operated by jews or even niggers for that matter. These are just some products and services that, in my experience have provided excellent value.

1. Brother copiers, fax machines, scanners. I bought a Brother all-in-one scanner, fax, copier about 3 1/2 years ago when I went into business for myself. I run about 150 pages / day through it, on average, in copies, faxes and scans. Price was around $300. It and another one just like it that I bought for a home office a couple of months later. Both are still running as good as the day they came out of the box. The replacement toner cartridges and and drums are expensive, but at a small sacrifice of speed, I get just as good of results as an office mate of mine who spent upwards of $7500 on one of those big boxy free standing copy machines.

2. Husqvarna anything. Husqvarna is a Swedish company and their reputation for quality and precision comes through in everything I've ever bought. Garden tillers, chainsaws, leafblowers. They're expensive on the front end, but they literally never wear out or require anything but routine maintenance. Side note: Never use ethanol blended gas in any kind of gas-powered appliance. For some reason, appliance manufacturers haven't caught up with automobile manufacturers in making their stuff compatible with ethanol-blended gas.

3. Stamps.com. I spend about $125 per month on postage. With this service, you don't need stamps and you don't need a postage meter. The program sets up an add-in program to your Outlook or other contact list software. You click an your mouse, tell the software how much your envelope is going to weight and an envelope comes out of the printer with the correct address, return address and printed postage. I've had to use tech support twice when, for some reason, the software wasn't properly identifying my printer. They're open from 6am to 6pm Pacific, Monday through Friday, and they are actually in the U.S. and they speak English as a first language. The service is about $15 per month.
