Good “Buy for Life” Brands
Some that come to mind are:
Benchmade - knives Darn Tough - socks Carhartt - good work gear Doc martens - footwear
What are some good reputable brands that you have had for 5 years + with little to no issues or with a lifetime warranty.

Miele (European) (dish) washing / dryers / fridges
The vacuum repair guy on Reddit also loved their vacuums.
Their vacuums are incredible, as are their ranges.

They also have some 3d printable parts on their official Thingiverse and Printables profiles
Wow that is awesome. When I need a washing machine I'll check them out!
We bought a bag less vacuum 4 years ago. The turbo brush for pet hair stats showing some wear but the whole thing works solid to this day. Even the flimsy feeling handle is still fine Edit: EU - Germany
In my experience, much better than Siemens/Bosch.
Unlike those, Miele doesn't seem to have entry-level-priced equipment that just sucks in term of quality.
Nothing wrong with both Siemens or Bosch (or Miele). But Miele's do break down too. My friend's recent Miele Twindos washingmachine's sensor died after only 2 years just outside guarantee, seems to be a fairly common problem with twindos machines. Expensive to repair too. 1400 Euro washing machine.
We have a Siemens iq500 dishwasher, an iq300 washing machine and dryer that run reliable for over 10 years. 3 appliances for about the same price as my friends Miele.
Also you get what you pay for and a lot of consumers can't afford 1400 euro for a washing machine anyway or pay for the expensive repairs. Comparing entry level with top tier hardware on brand suckability seems quite odd.
They cost a small fortune, but I think they still are as good as their decade old reputation.
