The Best Products From Abt To Buy For Life
Abt is proud to carry products that are made to last. Once you buy them (and, of course, take good care of them), they're sure to last a lifetime. We've compiled a list of some of our favorite products that, when cared for, only need to be bought once. These buy-for-life products will save you the time and money it costs to constantly replace household essentials.
Le Creuset Dutch Oven
If you like to cook, you've probably heard of French cookware brand Le Creuset. Our favorite part: they specialize in creating products for your kitchen that will last for generations. Their cookware features an enamel coating that surrounds the cast-iron interior, making for an incredibly durable Dutch oven. Additionally, most Le Creuset pots, pans, and dishes come in a variety of colors and sizes making them entirely customizable to fit your needs. Most importantly, this Dutch oven is the perfect pot for braising, frying, or baking, making it the only pot you need for cooking. Le Creuset is truly a buy for life brand and they have something for everyone.
Lodge Cast Iron Skillet
Staying close by in the kitchen is another, crowd-favorite, buy-for-life product. A cast iron skillet is essential for every home. Its durable surface ensures a lifelong career in your kitchen accompanied by perfectly cooked food. Lodge makes some of our favorite cast iron pots and pans, which come pre-seasoned and in multiple sizes. If you're a first-time cast iron user or purchaser and don't know how to properly season and clean cast iron, check out our learn center to find out more. When you're buying a cast iron skillet or pan for life, it has to be perfect. If you're looking for other cast iron brands, fear not: we also carry cast iron cookware from Le Creuset and Finex so check those out to find your perfect cast iron to last a lifetime.
Wusthof Knife Set
Our last buy-for-life product to invest in for your kitchen is a good knife set. Wusthof is a classic brand with nearly 200 years of knife-making experience. Their knives are made of high-quality carbon based steel and sharpened to perfection, allowing for precision cutting as well as big chops. The best part about investing in a high-end knife set is the fact that with regular maintenance, you should never have to buy another one. To keep your knives in peak condition, be sure to sharpen them regularly and hand wash them. There are many sharpening apparatuses that you can use, but we recommend the Wusthof Tri-stone Sharpener for Wusthof knives. If individual knives or a different knife set are more your speed, explore our Knives & Cutlery buying guide in our learn center. Whatever you choose, with proper care, your knives from Abt can be a one-time, buy-for-life purchase.
Miele Canister Vacuum
Miele Complete C3 Marin Powerline Navy Blue Canister Vacuum - 10014700
Moving away from the kitchen, a buy-for-life product essential for your home is a good, heavy-duty vacuum. We recommend the Miele Complete C3 Marin Powerline. This vacuum is made to last with its advanced engineering and durable construction. Not only that, but with its flexible hose and wand, every area of your home will be sparkling. This vacuum also features an ultra-silent motor for a quiet and convenient clean. For all intents and purposes, this vacuum is perfect and will last a lifetime. It is, however, a bit on the expensive end but don't worry, Miele makes several more affordable options. Miele has a buy-for-life vacuum for everyone with ranges in price, color, and size.
Tumi Packing Case
Your Price:
$1,050
For your home away from home, a durable suitcase or even a luggage set is something you should only have to buy once. Tumi is a buy-for-life brand when it comes to luggage. With its expandable zipper, compression straps, and TSA lock, the 19 Degrees packing case is the perfect suitcase to bring anywhere. Suitcases, typically and unfortunately, don't last forever. The main reason: they're easily lost. With Tumi, you don't have to worry about that. With their Tumi Tracer built in, your information is added to a database upon purchasing and if lost, the tracer will be able to accurately locate your belongings. All this to say, if you're looking to buy a piece of luggage for life, Tumi is your one-stop-shop. Don't worry about dirtying your suitcase after countless trips; Tumi carries a fabric cleaner to help keep the interior of your suitcase clean for years of use.
