A friend has one of those in his garage...really well engineered.

Today, let's me honest, we have planned obsolescence in most if not all products. It's not just a word, things are made to last 10-15 years, on purpose.

At our old house we bought a new central AC after the one that came with the home gave up the ghost. It was a Sears Kenmore and had lasted well over 20 years, so we bought a new Sears Kenmore to replace it.

It came with a ten year warranty on the compressor. We babied that thing and washed it and cleaned it every year, covered it up in winter and it was placed in a shaded area so it would stay cool. It died just over ten years old. But it looked brand new!..............
