I'm currently still using my CanoScan F910114 from ~2006 (pictured). The light recently burned out, but it still works for scanning documents if I add some contrast and brightness after the fact. Not great for photographs, though.

If I'm not able to replace the light, I might be in the market for a new scanner. Are there any that you all recommend for durability and potential repairability?

Obviously no electronics are truly going to be BIFL, but I figure I can at least aim high and see what I can find.

I need a beautiful electric kettle that will last a lifetime. Any recommendations? I'm willing to pay quite a bit.

I've had my beard trimmer for years. I've replaced the battery once already. It was welded in (talk about planned obsolescence) and I had to make due with soldering an off the shelf AAA. The motor and such are fine, but the battery is going again. I'll end up fixing it, but I don't wanna rely on it. This is a real PITA.

Anyone know of a battery beard trimmer that has a replaceable battery?
