I like our 15 yo front loader. We call it R2D2 from the sounds it makes. Just fixed our 20+ yo Kenmore dryer. Easy to do.
Our other place just has a wash tub and a clothesline. It’s our “hillbilly house”.
My dishwasher now takes almost 3 hours to do a load, and it plays some weird robot song when it’s finished.
I got a scooter at an auction (actually it’s a motorcycle or “maxi-scooter”).
Anyway while looking for parts I found out they are now putting tech gadgets on SCOOTERS.
Like remote key fobs, sound system connected to bluetooths etc. my scooter has rear wheel ABS.
People buy this stuff as it’s nice new but just wait a decade when it starts to break and they got to fix all this tech. Basically this trend is going to make vehicles unrepairable…throwaway.
