I have a dehumidifier from my Mom's home that is 50 years old and still running! I bought a new one "assembled in Taiwan with parts from China" written on the box. It lasted 3 years.
"Oh boy that's made in China I'll bet is it built really well!" Said no one ever.
Agreed! Mom had a big refrigerator that was still running over fifty years later. Things were built to last. Today they do not outlast the warrenty but by a few days...
