Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Pants? Amazon Basics. Under $30 and they perform perfectly.
  • I like Vapcell but I might also recommend some NIMH (eneloop, ladda, amazon basics) because... there are times when a the 14500 is just too damn bright indoors and a NIMH will output less light and have much longer runtimes.
  • For me, amazon basics absolutely get the job done. And for 16 bucks a set, I’m hard pressed to see better bang for the buck.
  • Most of my ethernet cables are Amazon Basics branded or ONN branded ones from Walmart. Theyre all CAT6 and CAT7 and work great with my 2 gigabit internet connection.
  • Other "amazon basics" are usually cheap as well.

Cons

  • Parent context: I’ve never heard of the Amazon basics products but you should sticking to brands like La Roche Posay that are derm recommended and relatively inexpensive. Reply: The Amazon brand is dupes to CeraVe so I figured they’d be...
  • Moleskin is what I use, though they’re obscenely expensive now, so I’m going to probably use Amazon Basics or something else.
  • I use Amazon Basics devices, Kasa, Govee, Smart Things, they all work seamlessly.
  • I thought the amazon basics might be okay, but they shrink and started getting pills very quickly.

Get the Amazon basics ones for kids and replace them every 2-3 years is the best solution I found
