I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

High-end office chairs (Steelcase is another popular brand) can be found used for $500ish. Been thinking about making the jump myself lately but I'm insanely picky and I don't think I'd know for at least a week if I've found a good match (dunno about returns at that point).

In my experience, you cannot form an opinion sitting in a showroom for 5 minutes, it's really necessary to try it by working/gaming in it for a few days. The official store offers 14/30 days returns, but for used chairs it could be less of course. Worst case, you could just resell it, as they keep they value quite well.

I wrote a small review in a comment down in this thread if you are interested in my experience with it.

Yeah, I figure the best a showroom is going to do for me is just quickly eliminate a couple options.
