It needs new washers every few weeks. Replacement units are under $100,

modern units are ALL washerless so nobody mentions it.

Ceramic cartridges? Something else?
I NEVER want to replace another washer, and appearance is irrelevant.
Is one of these what I want?

Those both sure look like they use washers to me.
But why do you have to replace yours so often. Mine last for 10 years
or more. I think one i use often is still original, 42 years.
I once bought a seat refinisher, but it seemed cheap and I wasn't
convinced it did anything.
Many faucets have replaceable seats. If the seats might be ruining your
washers and you can replace the seats, do that. They unscrew with a
flat-blade screwdriver. Somehow the slot doesn't interfere with the
seat or the hole, clever people these plumbers.
