We had an oven from 1975 until last year. It still worked but my wife didn't like it because it was "ugly". It was 49 years old and my neighbor took it off the road and put it in his hunting camp.

Kenmore fridge with freezer on bottom from 2014. Can’t recall what year purchased. It’s my outside fridge now and will probably outlast the newer one that’s inside.

Beer fridge is 30 years old and has lived in 3 states. There is a "stain" on the white hammered metal exterior from some tape that was on it 25 years ago. shite it the back of the fridge near the top will freeze. I hooked up the ice maker a couple of years ago to see what would happen, it made about 10 cubes and decided that was it. Its main job, sadly, is not beer, but to hold 8+ gallons of milk that the family drinks per week. I have pulled out all of the bottom shelves/drawers and chilled an entire carboy of beer before bottling before.

Microwave oven. Amana - 25 years old. Still works like the day I bought it. It is an over the range model so has the vent fan built in and that works flawlessly as well.

Do console stereo record players count? I have a Magnavox that still in great condition from 1960s. Bought it from original owner that worked for Magnavox for decades back then.

The beer fridge in the garage is a GE from the 1950's I inherited when my folks sold their place in Florida maybe 40 years ago. That actually uses electricity.

For things that do not use electricity the place is full of them (including me).

Our clothes dryer I would guess, it's almost 16 years old.

Did you get her new from the factory or did you get her second hand?

I have a Whirlpool washer and dryer that are 26 years old, still going strong.

About to replace them with a gently used Matag set my dad is getting rid of. I'm deeply conflicted.
