Shitlist

Brands I'll never buy

Belkin WeMo - Forced registration and overall kinda crappy Cricut - Charging users a subscription https://gizmodo.com/cricut-now-wants-users-to-pay-extra-for-unlimited-use-o-1846477745 Razor - Why would you force your customers to register just to use a mouse? Sonos - They bricked devices https://www.theverge.com/2020/3/5/21166777/sonos-ending-recycle-mode-trade-up-program-sustainability TP Link - They have good bang for the buck, but it's all a facade. Really sloppy engineering.

Appliances
