Oldest household appliance in your home?

My Kenwood hand held mixer that we bought as newlyweds.

Grannypanties - The radio/clock alarm still works fine. I dread the day it stops working.

Mums weighing scales and weights.

My Creda tumble dryer. We bought it when we had our first baby. She is almost 43.

My Nan’s Singer sewing machine, in a figured wooden cabinet. We have the receipt for £12 10s, from 1918. My dad was born in 1919. She always promised it to me (only granddaughter!) and taught me how to use it.

Almost 43, born in 1983?

My oldest was born in 1983.

My apologies, Bukkie, I misread your entry.

I know exactly how you feel, I inherited a chiming wall clock from my mom and dad and hope it outlasts me. I think about it all the time.

I have a wooden rolling pin which belonged to my grandmother. She had a glass one which broke, during WW1, so she took down the wooden roller which held the roller towel, as a temporary measure. It has been in regular use ever since.

It’s not exactly an appliance but a wooden pepper mill I was given as an engagement present in 1968.: The matching salt was lost/abandoned many years ago.

When I moved 18 years ago there was Miele dishwasher plumbed in. I don't know how old it was then but it only conked out earlier this year.

RosieandherMaw I also have wooden pepper and salt grinders. But mine are a mere 52 years old.

I have my mum’s rolling pin from her bottom drawer (married in 1947), my grandma’s hand operated sewing machine (which I always preferred to the electric ones when I was doing O level needlework) and my stereo radio clock bought for my Christmas in 1973 by my dad from Dixon’s! It’s still on my side of the bed and still works.

Actually, it must have been Christmas 1972, as I remember my lovely dad disliked the steeleye span version of Gaudete from December 1973 and it always seemed to be playing on my clock radio! (He’d been a catholic choir boy and it irritated him that they sang “Christos est natus” as it should have correctly been “Christos natus est”! I fear I have inherited his pedantry!)

Its not really an appliance, but I still have a baby's electric night light that my Mum used for me when I was a baby. The shade is a bit cracked but it still works.
I am 88 years old.

I have a Delabole slate rolling pin hat belonged to my great grandmother that was (or so the family story is told) fashioned by my great grandfather.

My father fashioned a slate board for pastry (it keeps very cold) but I no longer use it - too heavy.

my dishwasher, he's 83 years old, his fair curly hair now grey, but can still wash dishes.

A Morphy Richards hand held hair dryer, till a couple of years ago, from 1960. It was pink and really heavy. Sadly, it gave up the ghost

A Kelvinator freezer that I bought in Australia circa 1988, still going strong & survived a move back to the UK. My Braun hand stick blender circa 1984 has just packed up but I still have my food processor.

Likewise a Kenwood mixer bought in Autumn 1972. DD has my mother's KM, bought in the mid-1950s when we lived in Hong Kong.

My trusty old Kenwood Chef, a wedding present in 1974. We did just once have to send it off for a repair and service, but it’s done extremely well.

It will soon be very busy making cheese straw dough and the pastry for dozens of mince pies, and a couple of hours ago made an apple crumble topping.

I have and use my grans jam pan, it was a wedding present to her, she was married in 1818…

Meant 1918!!

I have mum's jelly/jam pan which she used and was her mum's before her so not really an appliance as such, but over 70 years old

Witzend. Can you tell me who serviced your Kenwood. Love mine but does need a few bits and pieces sorted.

A set of stainless steel mixing bowls. A wedding present from DH’s grandparents in 1965.

I still use the one remaining plastic plate that we used when we used to drive round Europe camping over fifty years ago.

I have a coffee grinder which was a wedding present in 1973. I use it to make breadcrumbs. It's quite dangerous as its blades spin round even without the lid.
