Toro mowers are awesome. I bought one in 2003 that I replaced in 2016. Replaced it with another Toro that I bought for less than what I paid the 2003 model.

I have a digital alarm clock that is still running from like 1986. The alarm portion of it doesn't really work anymore, but since I use my phone for that, it's still pretty much kicking arse for me... 30 years plus.

I've still got a 15 inch black and white tv from like the late 80s that the tubes haven't burnt out on somehow. Keep it in the guest room with my Super Nintendo hooked up to it for nostalgia

Had an 09 Macbook Pro that ran better than new (SSD and RAM upgrades) up until I spilled coffee on it last October 
. Brought to the apple store the day it happened and the tech said he was shocked it would even turn on. It finally stopped working completely about a week or two later.
Getting over 8 years out of a laptop impressed the hell out of me. And I used that thing a TON.

You keep it well lubricated. That probably has a lot to do with it.

A 32 year old upright freezer. I can't remember the brand. I don't remember ever having any repairs made to it. We definitely got our money's worth!

My Samsung front load washer, bought in 2009...according to people around here it shouldn't have lasted 3 days

My push mower has gone way beyond the average lifespan according to the shop down the street. And it was underwater for 3 days during Katrina.
My den TV is a plasma that I bought in the spring of 2007, and the picture is as good now as it was brand new.
