we replaced a washing machine and an oven that were both 37 years old a few years ago and I have an original coke machine in my kitchen made that is well over 50 years old and is still running like a champ. It can freeze a beer in fact. The only things that are made that well these days are firearms IMO. appliances? definitely not.
Ditto. We had a stove for 30+ years. If it’s working, why replace it?
Americans are making less money and are broker. Welcome to globalism...
Still have a GE microwave ca. 1980. The only control on it is a manual timer dial. Just one heat setting. I use it almost every day.
