Recently I had to purchase a fridge due to failure of my Sears 19.7 foot unit originally bought in April 1979.
That was a pretty good run with no prior problems.It made me reflect on other reliable household goods.
I have a Sears canister vac from 1979 which still runs perfect.
A Sears 22 inch push mower that starts on the third pull ( 1 rust spot ) from 1982.
A Whirlpool dryer from 1984 ( I replaced the heating element myself in 1995 ),still going strong.
GE clock radio with dial tuning from 1973 graduation.
I attempt fixing whatever possible because I love to tinker, and seldom replace things for technologies sake.
I bought a 2018 Toyota RAV4 last December 2017, hope it lives up to their reputation.
Any body else pleasantly surprised by some device that outlasted expectations ?
