They don't make 'em like they used to!

Blimey! We have no old appliances at all.Just been looking to replace the tumble dryer and have had it for five years.Cooker about eight years, washing machine four years.
Dishwasher 6 years.Built in fridge/freezer also eight years.I replace the iron about every five years.

Hand mixer bought for us as an engagement present. 49 years ago. Gets used a couple of times a week.

My Kenwood Mixer is 50 yrs old and still gets hauled out for Christmas cakes , I have a very small kitchen at the moment but hope to have more space by this time next year

A Morphy Richards food mixer we were given as a wedding gift 43 years ago. Still works perfectly.

Dh's Bang & Olufson music system is over 25 years old and still in perfect condition. Dd2's teenage male friends are always sooooo impressed by it!

I think my kettle is pretty old, in kettle years. I bought it the year my dad died which was 1998. I'd like a new one but this one just keeps going on and on!

We got our present dryer to dry the youngest's nappies (born in Nov 1988). So that makes it nearly 28 years old.

When it overheats it switches itself off and buzzes infuriatingly. It's been doing that more often lately, but it still dries. I've been wanting it to pack up for ages because it only has one temperature, and I would love to have the cooler setting so I can use it for more than just towels and knickers.

The banning of CFC's in refrigeration was not such a bad thing considering the damage it was doing to the environment. It was an International treaty that banned them, (The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer) not the EU.

Some of the newer freezers can operate down to -15c and have safe refrigerants.

Our old shed freezer is the same age as DD2. 36. Bought from Bejam which I think became Iceland. (A newer one wouldn't be any good as they don't work in very low temperatures. One of the crazy regulations that made me vote Leave).

Cooker is 30 years old and falling to bits but only in the last year . I have to use Tape because the door wont stay shut ! Getting a new kitchen in a few months so am holding out . Anybody got any web sites they can recommend for kitchen makeovers (new everything, including floor) on a budget . I want a completely new look from my 70`s kitchen ,my oak unit doors which have been painted are still in perfect condition but SO dated . It has to last for the rest of my life ! so don`t want to make any mistakes .

Well, nina, as the title of the thread says...

I bet one bought in the last 10-20 years wouldn't still be going.

Ana I thought my tumbler was doing well but mine's only half the age of yours.

The toilet roll fairy...if you can class her as an appliance. She performs a repetitive task as often as required with no fuss.

My tumble dryer's 36 years old, although it has had a new element.

I have a freezer in the garage that's at least 25yrs old.
