Washers and dryers use to last twenty years or more!
My parents bought their house in 1984, when I was 4. The house was in the family until 2005, when Katrina destroyed it. When they moved in, they bought all new appliances (washer, dryer, dishwasher, stove, hot water heater). With the exception of the hot water heater, all of the appliances lasted the entire 21 years. This included going through the May 1995 flood. In the 1995 flood, we had about 8-12 inches of water. The appliances simply dried out, we replaced a few parts, and moved on.
No way that happens with stuff made today.

I guess my wife if a member of the new generation. When I met her 18 years ago I noticed there was no food in her fridge. I inquired about it.
Her: Eating out is cheaper than cooking at home.
Me: No, it's not. Restaurants are adding a profit to the cost of the food they buy.
Her: Yeah, but cooking at home means ya gotta buy new pots and pans every week.
Me: Why?
Her Because it's too damn hard to scrub those things clean.
