I have a chest freezer 31 yo. Going strong
My folks had an upright freezer that was made in the mid to late 1950s. They bought it used when they were married in the mid-1960s. It was still going strong in 2011 when they finally decided to get rid of it. It was heavy and they need something to fit in a basement, so decided to buy new. 50+ years old.
I have a refrigerator/freezer in my garage I bought in Nov 1965 for about $235. Have moved it 4 times, not counting the delivery from the store.
Works fine. Have a 1972 upright freezer in the kitchen. Works fine. Used almost every day.
Bought new REAL MAYTAG washer/dryer when I moved into this house in March 2005-—over 20 years ago, & I will take it with me if I go anywhere else. 2 of the LAST REAL MAYTAG’S before Whirlpool bought them & RUINED THE NAME,.
Had prior Maytag over 30 years.
Treasure and protect it...
Grandmas avacodo GE fridge from the 60s is still humming along in my Uncles garage.. he jokes half his electric bill is probably from that fridge alone, but he also says the beer tastes better...
I go over from time to time for more samples.. can’t say I can tell the difference yet.. maybe I need more samples?
