I got so sick of it, I went in and said "what washer can I buy that will go 20 years like my parents did"? I was laughed at.... They said "how long they been lasting you?" I said about 7 years, and they said I was getting most life as most only last 5-7 yrs. What a shame
There is an old wringer washer in the basement that my wife washes the throw rugs in, its most likely close to 70 years old, still works fine.
Grandmas old fridge is up at the house at our farm, ugly pink color from the 50s still working.
